ASUS P750

ASUS P750

By Sandra Vogel

The ASUS P750 may be chunky, but it packs in a huge array of features. Combined with an equally impressive software bundle, the result is an excellent multifunction handheld that should appeal to a wide range of mobile professionals.

3G/HSDPA connectivity Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, Front-facing camera for video calls, Good battery life, Business card scanner, Lots of useful extra applications

Relatively bulky and heavy, MicroSD card slot is on an outside edge and unprotected

The ASUS P750 may be chunky, but it packs in a huge array of features.

BlackBerry Bold 9000

BlackBerry Bold 9000

By Joseph Hanlon

The Bold is what BlackBerry fans have been waiting for. It's feature-rich and sharply designed, let down in small measure by some cumbersome software.

Beautifully designed, Class-leading QWERTY keyboard, Simple email set-up, Excellent battery life

Some included software, including the browser and maps, needs work, BlackBerry service accounts are expensive

Samsung SGH-I560

Samsung i560

By Joseph Hanlon

Seeing or using the i560 is hardly a pulse-racing experience. People looking for a solid phone with navigation will find what they are looking for in the i560. Fashionistas should look elsewhere.

HSDPA and GPS connectivity, Speedy S60 operating platform, Bundled Route 66 nav software and car kit, Decent battery life

Another unexciting Samsung slider, Display not as sharp or colourful as recent Samsung screens

Samsung U900 Soul

Samsung U900

By Joseph Hanlon

Samsung's official phone of the Olympic games may not look especially sporty, but HSDPA, lag-free performance, and its great 5-megapixel camera help get the U900 out of the blocks and over the line.

Good 5-megapixel camera, Great HSDPA data speeds, Touch panel is a handy tool, Excellent lag-free performance

Conventional design, Dreadful pre-installed browser

We wish it looked cooler, but then we often wish that of many in Samsung's range. Looks aside, the U900 won't disappoint people looking for a great phone matched with a good camera. HSDPA data speeds are excellent, especially for streaming media like Foxt...

Nokia 6220 Classic

Nokia 6220 Classic

By Rosanne Hodgekiss

Playing on the brunette-stereotype, the Nokia 6220 Classic is a 3G smartphone that transcends its demure looks with pragmatic appeal, a stand-out 5MP camera and assisted-GPS.

Excellent 5-megapixel camera, Accurate GPS, Beautiful Symbian interface

Clicky plastic keypad, Slightly laggy interface, No Wi-Fi, Cannot iSync with Mac

Motorola ROKR E8

Motorola ROKR E8

By Joseph Hanlon

The ROKR E8 looks to be Motorola's stab at the iPhone killer, with a morphing touchscreen display and media focused features.

Slim and sexy design, ModeShift keypad works a treat, 2GB of internal memory, 3.5mm headphone port

Super sluggish menu, No 3G or Wi-Fi

If you have little interest in the Web on your mobile then the E8 is for you. It looks great and features a decent music player and camera. For the RRP of AU$450 including a bundled speaker kit, the E8 is a very sexy bargain.

HTC Touch Diamond (P3700)

HTC Touch Diamond

By Sandra Vogel

HTC's Touch Diamond crams a multitude of features into a compact and stylish device, topped off by a flashy user interface. However, the TouchFLO 3D interface has too many rough edges and the battery life is terrible.

HSDPA , Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, Atrtactive TouchFLO 3D interface on top of Windows Mobile 6.1, Stylish and pocket-friendly

Very poor battery life, TouchFLO 3D runs slowly and is not always well integrated with Windows Mobile, No expansion slot, No keyboard

The Touch Diamond is a compelling prospect on paper, but the reality is, unfortunately, considerably less appealing.

Sony Ericsson W760i / W760i

Sony Ericsson W760i

By Joseph Hanlon

The W760i is a solid performer, and we've found it hard to fault this handset during our tests. Yet, with strong competition hot on its heels, the W760i falls short of bowling us over.

Great Walkman music player, HSDPA data, Foxtel Mobile TV

Conventional-looking slider, No significant internal memory

Nokia N78

Nokia N78

By Ty Pendlebury

The Nokia N78 is a fun phone to use, and despite some annoyances it's likely to find fans in those looking for a feature-filled Apple alternative.

Stylish and fun, Compact, Feature-rich including GPS and FM transmitter, 3.5mm audio jack

Small keypad, Difficult to connect to WiFi, GPS has hidden charges

LG KF700

LG KF700

By Joseph Hanlon

Tossing the KF700 into a mobile market obsessed with the iPhone could be a tough pitch for LG. HSDPA data speeds and multiple methods of input could be what's needed to turn a few heads away from the competition.
