The TU550 does little to distinguish itself from its TU500 predecessor. While most of the old faults remain, it should nevertheless satisfy the majority of users; particularly those in remote locations. With that being said, there are plenty of competing models on the market that offer a superior performance.

The Z750i is a solid, but far from outstanding phone. Its 'Blue Tick' rating means it should appeal to those in rural areas but for the rest of us, there are certainly better choices not based on a design that's already a few months old.

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.

The EasyTouch's personalised home screen is an excellent feature, but the rest of this handset is solid, without offering anything outstanding.

The W980i is Sony Ericsson’s most stylish clamshell yet. A great combination of style and features, 8GB of memory and excellent headphones make this one of the best music handsets currently on the market.

The TU515 isn't outstanding, but at this price it's well worth a look.

The Ferrari additions are largely aesthetic improvements. Under the hood, the RAZR2 V9 is a similar handset to the original version.

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

The Z800i is an excellent 3G phone with an exceptional external screen, but a disappointing camera and a poorly designed keypad.

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.
