Reviews of Popular Mobile Phones

The Samsung E1080 isn't as pretty as its close relation, the E1170, but it does offer the same excellent battery life and combines it with a well-built and rugged casing. The lack of a camera, absence of connectivity and disappointing screen count against it, though. 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

Alcatel OT-282 review

The Alcatel OT-282 is a decent budget option for elderly people who want a simple mobile, but the Vodafone 155 offers the same for less. 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

Nokia 1616 review

One of the cheapest handsets we've seen so far, the Nokia 1616 is perfect for people who just want a phone for making calls and sending the odd text. Anything more complicated than that is off the agenda, but this could make an ideal gift for an elderly relative or young child. Read more

LG Cookie Lite review

The incredibly small LG Cookie Lite T300 lives up its name, but it's similarly light on essential features. This budget blower may find favour with younger, less demanding users, but everyone else should probably steer clear. Read more

Orange Lisbon review

The Orange Lisbon's small and painfully unresponsive touchscreen lets the entire phone down. Orange has forsaken usability in favour of a mildly pleasing design, resulting in a handset that's practically impossible to use without going insane Read more

Alcatel OT-209 review

The stupidly cheap Alcatel OT-209 is a perfectly decent option if you're after a back-up phone for nights out, or just aren't interested in all that smart-phone jazz. It is something of a munter, though. Read more
