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

Alcatel OT-980 review
With its unresponsive touchscreen and rather awkward appearance, the Alcatel OT-980 struggles to distinguish itself from similarly priced Android devices. If you're looking to upgrade from 'dumb phone' territory, the low price is undeniably attractive. Read more

Samsung E1360 review
With Bluetooth and GPRS on board, the Samsung E1360 is better connected than its low-cost mobile rivals, although these bonuses are mitigated by underwhelming battery life. Read more

Nokia 2220 Slide review
It may lack the features we've come to take for granted on entry-level phones, but the Nokia 2220 Slide is great value for money compared to other devices in the same price bracket. Competition is becoming fierce in the budget phone class, however, so you may want to consider alternatives -- such as the Sony Ericsson Spiro -- before parting with your cash. Read more

Samsung Genio Slide review
The Samsung Genio Slide is a budget phone that's rammed with features. Its touchscreen is of the resistive variety and not particularly large, but its slide-out keyboard is great, it offers HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, and its interface is easy to use. It's a good choice if you can't afford a full-blown smart phone Read more

Samsung B3310 review
Aimed at social-networking fiends with small pockets, the B3310 packs a full Qwerty keyboard into a compact body at a very affordable price. Its lack of 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity hampers the Web-browsing experience, but its streamlined Facebook and MySpace apps make it easy to stalk your friends Read more

Sony Ericsson F305 review
If you ignore the rather basic, motion-controlled games that the F305 comes with, you'll find this budget handset has plenty to appreciate. It's attractively designed and solidly built, while also offering excellent call quality and surprisingly good battery life Read more

Sony Ericsson W205 Walkman review
You wouldn't flash it around down the pub, but the W205 Walkman is a decent music phone for those on a budget. Its sound quality is good, you can record tracks from the FM tuner, and its slider design is fairly slick. A bigger screen would've been welcome, but you can't complain too much about a phone this cheap Read more
