If you want the fastest possible access to Telstra's Next G network, then the A811 is an excellent choice.

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 6500 Slide is an excellently designed 3G phone that manages to retain some style despite sporting a larger frame than the Classic version.

The 6500 Classic is a well equipped 3G phone bursting with style. The lack of a memory card slot is a real let down, but it remains an excellent handset on the whole.

The F500 is a great example of a device that promises so much, yet ultimately fails to deliver. It's a nice idea, but in an already overpopulated mobile market, the F500 has too many flaws to make an impact.

The A411 represents decent value for money, but don't expect this handset to provide rich multimedia, despite access to Telstra's Next G portal.

The F165 Country Phone doesn't really look appealing, but looks can be deceiving. In addition to claiming excellent reception in rural areas, the F165 has a sturdy rubber casing and is lightweight.

Optimised for mobile TV, the Samsung Widescreen is a solid, if not outstanding, introduction to what the future holds for mobile video content.

The W910i is another excellent addition to the Walkman range, combining a well-crafted design with some new music features. It doesn't come cheap, but provided you don't require an exceptional camera, this handset is definitely another winner.

The K770i is another excellent 3G phone from Sony Ericsson. Its camera isn't outstanding, but the design, look and feel of this handset combined with a slick user interface and a decent features list makes this an excellent phone on the whole.

The K850i is the best camera phone currently available on the market. Although it still doesn't replace a stand-alone digital camera, for a device that you can carry everywhere in your pocket, it does a fine job. It's a shame about the small keypad and squashed controls.

The A711 delivers faster speeds over the Next G network and an improved menu system, making it a slight improvement over its predecessor.
