Nokia Asha 201 review
The Nokia Asha 201 is brimful of features for the price. It won't win any speed awards, but if money's tight, The Asha offers decent value. Read more

Vodafone Smart review
The Vodafone Smart is a ludicrously cheap Android smart phone. When you consider that it retails for almost a tenth of the price of some top-range Android devices, it's easy to forgive its shortcomings. Read more

Motorola Gleam review
The Motorola Gleam is a cheap and shiny homage to everyone's favourite flip phone of yesteryear, the Razr. It's a good choice for those who value simplicity. Read more

Nokia 5228 X-Factor review
You can blame it on stage fright, but when the lights go up, the Nokia 5228 pales in comparison to rival budget phones. Despite its self-proclaimed star quality, it just doesn't have the X factor to win our vote. Read more

The Samsung Galaxy Europa GT-i5500 might not look it, but it's a capable little Web phone thanks to Android 2.1, Wi-Fi and 3G. 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

Huawei U7510 review
The U7510 is a cheap-as-chips touchscreen phone that packs plenty of widgets to keep you connected on the move. It lacks Wi-Fi connectivity and you'll have to use the rubbish bundled headphones to listen to music, but it looks good and packs HSDPA support for speedy Web browsing 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
