Motorola EM330

Motorola EM330

By Irene Mickaiel

motorola em330 review: It is yet another clamshell phone from yet another phone company. So what sets this mobile phone apart from the others? Not much.

Affordability, Simple design, Touch-sensitive display, 3.5mm headphone jack

Average sound quality, Interface can be slow in some areas, Awkward placement of headphone port

The EM330 does most things well, but nothing that stands out in this ever-increasing market of music playing phones. For each positive aspect to the EM330, it has its negatives. However, for just AU$99 it's a great deal for teenagers or adults that just w...

LG KS360

LG KS360 (WebSlider)

By Joseph Hanlon

lg ks360 (webslider) review: With touchscreen numeric input, a full QWERTY keyboard and super-cheap price tag, there's no better phone for teens that love to message.

Cute design, Great QWERTY keyboard, Touchscreen numeric input, MySpace and Facebook

No 3G, No 3.5mm headphone socket, Complex email set-up, Camera has neither a flash or auto-focus

There's a few components missing from the WebSlider but overall we think this is the perfect phone for teens that love to message. No other phone offers a touchscreen and a full QWERTY keyboard for this price.

Telstra T165i

Telstra T165i

By Joseph Hanlon

telstra t165i review: The Country Phone will feel at home in those remote areas that struggle with mobile coverage. It makes up for an absence of bells and whistles with great performance of its essential features.

Curved, extendable antenna, Screen is excellent in daylight, HSDPA and AGPS, Good battery life

Quite a big phone, No mapping software installed

The Country Phone will feel at home in those remote areas that struggle with mobile coverage. It makes up for an absence of bells and whistles with great performance of its essential features.

Sony Ericsson W595 / W595i

sony ericsson w595 walkman review: This is a solid phone, aside from its lack of a real headphone socket. But if you're expecting anything radically new, you might want to wait a little while for Sony Ericsson to start innovating before you upgrade.

Easy to use, Good sound quality, Decent resolution camera, Battery life, Screen

No 3.5mm headphone socket, No camera flash.

This is a solid phone, aside from its lack of a real headphone socket. But if you're expecting anything radically new, you might want to wait a little while for Sony Ericsson to start innovating before you upgrade.

Nokia N97

nokia n97 review: After a year of uninspiring N series releases, Nokia finally gives us something to get excited about; the feature-laden, touchscreen N97.

Nokia 3600

nokia 3600 slide review: The 3600 Slide looks good and makes a great mobile phone, but is expensive considering the absence of 3G and its poor quality camera.

Attractive and solid build, Good calling and messaging, Decent battery life, 512MB microSD card

3.2-megapixel camera is a dud, No 3G data services, RRP is a little too expensive

The 3600 Slide looks good and makes a great mobile phone, but we think its a tad too expensive considering the camera is a disappointment.

Sony Ericsson R306

sony ericsson r306 review: This one's for your nan -- it's a basic, budget flip phone equipped with an AM radio and not much else.

Large buttons, Has AM radio reception, Simple to use

Only 5MB of storage, Input lag during texting, Fuzzy radio reception, Annoying nav key

The annoying navigation key, laggy messaging interface and fuzzy radio reception don't add up to a very good phone, even at this budget price.

Nokia 6600

nokia 6600 fold review: It's been a long time since we last saw a Nokia that failed to do the basics well, but the 6600 Fold fits this description. It looks great but, with poor call quality, the Fold is a dismal under-achiever.

Sleek design, Metal construction, One-touch flip open, 512MB included memory

Poor call quality, Secondary display not visible in sunlight, No external volume controls, 2-megapixel camera is woeful

It's been a long time since we last saw a Nokia that failed to do the basics well, but the 6600 Fold fits this description. It looks great but, with poor call quality, the Fold is a dismal under-achiever.

Sony Ericsson C905

sony ericsson c905 review: The Sony Ericsson C905 is a very good phone with a decent camera, but don't expect this to be the model that has you selling your stand-alone camera on eBay.

Attractive design, Rubberised body, Zippy performance, Excellent battery life

Camera isn't superior to previous Cyber-shot phones, Cramped, stiff keypad, No 3.5mm headphone port on phone, Outrageously expensive

The Sony Ericsson C905 is a very good phone with a decent camera, but don't expect this to be the model that has you selling your stand-alone camera on eBay.

Nokia 6600

nokia 6600 slide review: If you're not bothered with having every feature under the sun and want a phone that's small and easy to use, the Nokia 6600 Slide is it.

Compact design, Metal casing, Straightforward interface, Nokia Maps pre-installed

Lack of 3.5mm headphone jack, Battery cover is tough to take off

If you're not bothered with having every feature under the sun and want a phone that's small and easy to use, the Nokia 6600 Slide is it. While it's not going to wow your friends with its amazing features, it does fit in your pocket easily and will text a...
