LG KF600

LG kf600

Unique experimental design. The touch-screen might take a while to get used to. Not as good as a phone with one big touch screen, but the contextual keys are intuitive and easy to use. The LG KF600 looks good, and the Keith Haring themes give the ...

Sony Ericsson W890

The Sony Ericsson W890i is probably Sony Ericsson's best music phone so far. The W910i is another music phone with HSDPA, but only has a 2 MP camera.

Music player, Thin & light, Fast Internet access (HSDPA)

Sony Ericsson W960

The W960i is a decent enough 3G music smartphone. There's plenty of storage (8 GB), Wi-Fi, 3G, good music player and a 2.6-inch touchscreen. The phone does take a while to boot up and the interface could do with some usability improvements.

3G, Walkman player, 8 GB Phone Memory, Symbian OS 9.1

Touchscreen is a little fiddly to use, No 3.5 mm jack, Tri-band only

Samsung SGH-G800

samsung g800

By Zod

The Samsung G800 is a good 3G HSDPA slider phone with 5 MP camera and a 2.4-inch screen. There's no Wi-Fi, quad-band or GPS (as found on the Nokia N95). Wi-Fi would have been nice. If you're after a slimmer camera phone, have a look at the Samsung G600.

3G and HSDPA, 5 MP camera with optical zoom

No Wi-Fi

SAMSUNG P520 Armani

The Samsung Armani is a fine looking fashion phone. Thin and the size of a credit card, it easily slips into a pocket. The Armani phone isn't bursting with features - it's pretty average. Buy the Samsung Armani for about £350 on PAYG or get it for ...
