Samsung S5230 Tocco Lite Review

The Tocco Lite is Samsung's answer to the LG Cookie. Available in black, gold, pink or silver, it's a bargain touchscreen phone. Although it lacks 3G, it offers a fabulous fun user interface with easy access to Facebook and YouTube, plus all the features that you'd expect: a 3.2 megapixel camera, video recording, music player, FM radio with RDS, memory card slot and Bluetooth. Available free on contract with a choice of free gifts: from free line rental to a free Playstation 3.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Review

The Sony Ericsson X10 Mini is a half-size version of the original X10. It's an ultra-compact smartphone running Android and with impressive features such as a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, aGPS with Google Maps, a fast processor, support for 16GB of memory and a good battery life. Connectivity excels with WiFi and HSPA. But the small screen size presents a challenge.

Sony Ericsson Satio Review

The Sony Ericsson Satio is probably the best camera phone released, with its 12 megapixel camera and xenon flash. It's a touchscreen Symbian smartphone, with a great music player, aGPS with Google Maps, HSDPA, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. But poor battery life, the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack, a sluggish response from the user interface and a dodgy initial batch mean that it loses one star. Available in Black or Silver.

BlackBerry Bold 9700 Review

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is an upgraded version of the original Bold. It retains the full QWERTY keyboard of the original, but replaces the trackball with a new improved Trackpad, and is smaller and lighter too. It's the perfect device for mobile e-mail, with a high-res screen with user-selectable fonts and the legendary BlackBerry email interface. Other highlights include 3G HSDPA, up to 16GB of memory, WiFi, GPS and outstanding battery life. Now available in White.

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Review

In a nutshell: Smaller than the Bold, but packing in nearly as many features, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 is one of our all-time favorite BlackBerries. Ideally-sized, with a brilliant QWERTY keypad and a hi-res screen, this is an almost perfect device for mobile email. Other top features include a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus, a video camera, a music player, GPS, a heavy duty battery, WiFi, and plenty of memory. The only significant thing missing is 3G.

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.

BlackBerry Torch 9800 Review

In a nutshell: The Torch is a groundbreaking phone for BlackBerry, with the new BlackBerry 6 operating system and a slide-out keyboard design. The new OS is a definite improvement over the previous version, but won't alienate existing users. The slide-out keyboard and capacitive touchscreen work very well. The Torch comes with integrated social messaging, a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, a media player, excellent connectivity, outstanding battery life and plenty of memory. Its negatives are its chunkiness, its high cost and its slow processor.
