Sagem my401C review
The Sagem my401C is a fabulous-looking low cost phone with a host of extras, such as Bluetooth and a USB port. It's unbelievably easy to navigate through the menu system, is particularly light and small and has a built in MP3 player -- another added bonus Read more

Samsung E1150 review
The Samsung E1150 can hold its head high when compared to similarly priced budget phones. Its minimalist design, decent call performance and lengthy battery life mean it offers great value for money, although some users may find its lack of connectivity too hard to swallow. Read more

Motorola Moto WX295 review
With a VGA camera, microSD card support, Bluetooth and a cool design, the Motorola Moto WX295 effortlessly differentiates itself from its budget brethren. The lack of 3G connectivity and poor Web browsing are unfortunate drawbacks, but these are easily forgiven when you consider the generally humble standard of the competition. Read more

LG KF300 review
It's not a handset to impress the kids with, but, if you're looking for an easy-to-use phone with big buttons, large text and an easy-to-hear speaker-- this means you, gramps -- the KF300 is a good choice that won't break the bank. And we particularly like the way every menu item has a keyboard shortcut key Read more

Alcatel OT-222 review
Can a phone that's effectively available for free be anything other than total pants? The answer is 'yes'. The OT-222 not only does a decent job of making calls and sending texts, but its battery lasts for ages and it packs an FM radio. It'll even bag you two-for-one pizzas on Wednesdays Read more

LG KP202 review
LG doesn't just make posh fashion phones for multi-millionaires, it also deigns to make budget handsets for the great unwashed. Take this bargain-basement clamshell phone, for example -- the KP202 may have a cut-down features set, but it boasts a rock-bottom price tag Read more

LG GB220 review
The GB220 is a basic phone that offers abundant style at a low price, and works perfectly well. It just lacks any killer features to get your geek juices flowing Read more

Virgin Mobile Lobster 320 review
The Virgin Mobile Lobster 320 is a compact and good-looking phone with an appealingly low price. It has a surprisingly large and well-spaced keypad, with plenty of shortcut options when you when you flick it open. It even has a camera, unlike many of its low-priced competitors Read more
