The Nokia Asha 311 runs old technology masked by a lick of paint to try and pass it off as a serious competitor to slicker phone OSes. Read more

LG Optimus Chat review
The LG Optimus Chat looks and feels like a low-cost phone, but its Qwerty keyboard means it stands out from the horde of similarly priced Android handsets. If you're mad about messaging, it'll be worth a look. Read more

Acer Liquid Mini review
The Acer Liquid Mini isn't a disaster by any stretch of the imagination, but its lacklustre specs prevent it from standing out from the rest of the budget Android smart-phone crowd. Read more

Nokia C3 review
The C3 has plenty of strengths, offering a decent array of social-networking features and a great keyboard at a very affordable price. It's a shame that it lacks 3G connectivity, but it does support Wi-Fi and it feels surprisingly solid given its cost Read more

LG Cookie Fresh GS290 review
The touchscreen Cookie Fresh GS290 may be cheap, but it's by no means nasty. The interface is intuitive, the bright and clear touchscreen is surprisingly usable, and the handset is fun and easy to use overall. If you're on a budget, it's worth a look Read more

Orange Rio review
If you fancy a BlackBerry but can't afford one, you might like to check out the Orange Rio. Considering how cheap it is, it doesn't have very many serious flaws at all. Its keyboard is great, its menu system is intuitive, and its touchscreen isn't bad either Read more

INQ Chat 3G review
The Chat 3G is an inexpensive social-networking phone that makes it easy to keep connected on the go, thanks to its 3G connectivity, Facebook and Twitter widgets, and Qwerty keyboard. It's also surprisingly stylish for its price, and its simple user interface makes it a doddle to use Read more

Samsung Genio Touch review
Aimed at young 'uns, the touchscreen Genio Touch is cheap, attractive and full of smart-phone-like features. There's no on-screen Qwerty keyboard, 3G or Wi-Fi connectivity, but its media-playback capability is good and it's a solid budget handset overall Read more

Orange is aiming to bring touchscreen phones to the masses with the least expensive handset of its type ever, the Vegas. Offering an appealing combination of small form factor and large screen, the question is: can it take on its more expensive rivals? Read more
