The v1050 is a great phone for the style conscious while also catering to people know need something durable. It performs well and has quite a few great features but a low mega-pixel camera and a lack of wireless features hamper its brilliance.

The A551 is a solid, but not outstanding mobile phone. It does a relatively basic job and access to the Next G services is notable, but there is nothing that sticks out about this handset.

The Telstra F158 will definitely appeal to tradesmen who require their mobile phone take a beating, but if you look past the ruggedised design, there isn't much else on offer.

Although it has some design issues, the F256 should appeal to those who are on a budget, but still want access to the BigPond range of services through the high-speed Next G network.

The F852 is a solid but far from outstanding option. Its appeal lies in the fact that it can access the full range of Next G services and content on a relatively inexpensive plan.

A stylish and compact slider let down by a painstakingly slow user interface.

The A561 is a basic handset. It has a few issues that are sure to make many people look elsewhere.

The Samsung A501 is a solid, but far from outstanding HSDPA-capable phone. While its compact size may be an advantage, outdated specifications in key areas mean that the A501 isn't able to fully immerse you in the Next G experience as it should.

The U8380 is an average phone with fairly standard features. It doesn't break any new ground, but then again, it doesn't have any major problems or issues.

A phone with very little to recommend other than its internet features. Nothing special.

The U8360 doesn't offer much different from the very similar U8380. An average handset without any standout features.

The U400 offers a new control system but its performance isn't really up to scratch. The handset has a solid, if not outstanding list of features, but a poor battery life and chunky design don't do it any favours.
