Great call quality ; camera is OK ; stellar battery life

Poorly designed keypad ; boring colors ; uninteresting suite of apps

This image is strengthened by the gentle kink at the microphone end of the phone, bending gently towards the user's mouth. This design element is probably geared to improving the direction of the microphone towards the mouth, but the kink is so subtle ...

HTC Tattoo - The hardware may be unremarkable, but this Android smartphone marks an important point in Android's progress.

Full Android feature set at low price ; changeable covers ; Sense UI scaled down well to screen size ; 3.5mm audio jack ; HSDPA connectivity ; excellent battery life

Compact and well-built ; full set of connectivity options ; Windows Mobile 6.5 ; 3.5mm audio port ; FM tuner

Low-resolution QVGA display ; odd microSD slot cover position ; fixed focus camera with no LED ; no HSUPA ; price could be more attractive

Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 - An enhanced panel touchscreen interface, WM6.5 and new aftersales service are what you can expect with the upcoming smartphone.

The Samsung Jet is an excellent touchscreen device that's priced competitively, yet packs a heap of features that would keep most people entertained for some time.

Snappy performance ; HSDPA ; Wi-Fi ; 3.5mm audio jack ; supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync ; priced affordably ; high-resolution 800 x 480-pixel touchscreen

Fingerprint magnet ; no bundled memory card and mapping software ; limited apps

The real gem, however, lies in the details, starting with the hexagonal button below the screen, which resembles a 3D cube instead of a regular flat key. It has a clear plastic layer on top with a reflective mirror acting as the base--a very elegant ...

There's no doubt that the N97 is Nokia's top-of-the-line S60 smartphone. But a combination of factors, from dated software to inconsistencies in the interface, make it difficult for us to recommend the device. More so when there are very compelling ...

Wireless options include HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth stereo and A-GPS ; 3.5mm audio jack ; useful preinstalled apps ; 32GB of onboard memory with microSD expansion card slot

Inconsistent user interface ; keyboard with flush keys hard to type on ; dated S60 software ; limited apps on Ovi Store
