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.

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.

Apple iPhone 3G S Review

In a nutshell: The iPhone 3G S is easily the best iPhone ever. Apple have filled in the missing pieces of the jigsaw and created possibly the best phone / media player / internet device ever. Highlights include GPS navigation with a digital compass, OS X applications from the App Store, super fast web browsing, Apple's famous music-playing capabilities, up to 32 GB of built-in memory, and Wi-Fi. The only real problem is the price.

Apple iPhone 4 Review

In a nutshell: The iPhone 4 is a flawed beauty. The main improvements are the extra high resolution display, the improved 5 megapixel camera, HD video recording, a second camera for video calls and longer battery life. But there are problems getting a signal and it's phenomenally expensive too.
