Nokia 6700 Classic Review

The 6700 Classic has smart looks, a quality metal finish and a high specification, and has been one of Nokia's biggest selling mid-range phones in the second half of 2009. Top features include a-GPS, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, a music player, an FM radio with RDS, Bluetooth, HSPA and a memory card. But it isn't a reliable phone. Things to watch out for include freezing / shutting down and breakable screens.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro Review

In a nutshell: The Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro has everything that the original X10 Mini has, plus a slide-out physical keyboard. It's an ultra-compact smartphone running Google's Android OS, with a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, aGPS with Google Maps, a fast processor and support for 16GB of memory. Connectivity includes WiFi and HSPA. But the small screen size, poor battery life and old version of Android are a disappointment.

HTC Wildfire Review

In a nutshell: The HTC Wildfire brings Android technology to the budget smartphone sector. Incorporating the latest version of Android and HTC Sense plus a superbly responsive capacitive touchscreen, the Wildfire is both easy to use and supremely powerful, with access to thousands of apps. Combined with a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, a media player, GPS, Google Maps, fast internet, a fast processor, plenty of memory and a big battery, this is quite probably the best smartphone in its price range. Available in Black, Graphite, Red or White.

Samsung S8530 Wave 2 Review

In a nutshell: The Samsung Wave S8530 (or Samsung Wave 2) is a souped-up version of the original Wave, with a larger screen. It's a cutting-edge phone with a 3.7 inch Super Clear LCD display, a fast processor, 2GB of built-in memory, a 5 megapixel camera with HD video and assisted GPS. The Bada operating system provides all the core smartphone functionality, but third-party apps are very thin on the ground.
