Google Nexus One review

If you prize flexibility and freedom over style and smoothness, then Google's first handset, the Nexus One, may very well be the iPhone killer you've been looking for.

Samsung Lucido S7220 review

Samsung's Lucido offers up an excellent range of features, including a fabulous little AMOLED screen, which makes watching your 5-megapixel camera footage a pleasure. It's very resistant to fingerprints too, if that bothers you, and the microSD slot and GPS round out a perfectly decent 3G phone Read more

Acer Stream review

The Stream is Acer's best Android handset so far. The customised user interface and 720p video-recording capability aren't all they're cracked up to be, but the large touchscreen is wonderful, and you can play back movies and photos on your high-definition TV via the HDMI output Read more

Nokia N97 review

Nokia produced yesteryear's smart phones of choice with the N series, and now it's upping the ante with the N97, which sports both a touchscreen and a full Qwerty keyboard. With the power of the Symbian operating system and a groovy angled screen, this phone could be the one to get Nokia lovers typing and tapping Read more

Nokia 6220 Classic review

As the name suggests, Nokia has stuck to a tried and tested candy-bar design with the 6220 Classic. It still manages to pack in enough features to keep most people happy, from GPS to a 5-megapixel camera to HSDPA. If you're looking for a compact camera phone with a xenon flash, it's worth having a look Read more

Nokia E5 review

Your fingers will positively adore the Nokia E5's lush Qwerty keyboard, and its rugged construction and eye-catching design only endear the phone further. These positives are balanced out by a poor screen that's hard to view in sunlight and a below-average camera. Read more

Samsung Wave GT-S8500 review

With hardware as slick as a greased otter, but software that's rough around the edges, the Wave is Samsung's latest effort to redesign the feature phone without edging into full-blown smart phone territory. So it has a fantastic screen and a feature-packed camera, but its apps are underpowered and setup is a hassle Read more
