BenQ E72 review
BenQ's new E72 Windows Mobile handset is now available SIM-free for £100 from Expansys, and we're happy to see this different take on Windows Mobile. The E72 shows originality in both hardware design and software, though it is very compact and leaves out some features, so it may not appeal to everyone Read more

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini review
The Xperia X10 Mini is a comically small handset. But it packs plenty of power, thanks to its Android operating system, which has been cleverly tweaked to suit the tiny screen. If you're looking for a cheap and discrete smart phone, it's well worth a perusal Read more

ZTE Racer review
The Racer is an impressive Android handset at a rock-bottom price. It feels plasticky and its resistive screen doesn't support multi-touch, but ZTE's made precious few other cost-saving cuts. Running version 2.1 of Android and offering loads of features, it's well worth a look for broke folk Read more

RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8110 review
RIM has opted to add one feature per iteration of its Pearl handsets and you'll find GPS to be the BlackBerry Pearl 8110's main attraction. While you'd be hard-pressed to pick the 8110 out of a Pearl design line up, the addition of GPS helps when you're walking or driving while lost Read more

RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120 review
Similar to the BlackBerry 8100 multimedia smart phone, the 8120 adds a few important features. Wi-Fi support means you can quickly access your emails and the Internet via Wi-Fi hotspots, and a 3.5mm jack lets you plug in your favourite headphones and listen to music Read more

Nokia 6124 Classic review
The Nokia 6124 Classic is an inexpensive pay-as-you-go 3G mobile through Vodafone, with solid Nokia styling and menus. Sound quality and signal strength are both good, and you get a 1GB microSD card in the box, but some basic elements are flimsy and cheap feeling Read more

Samsung Tocco Lite 2 review
Want to read how not to make a smart phone? The Samsung Tocco Lite 2 purports to be one, but frankly, it's making promises it can't keep. Read more

RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8100 review
RIM's Blackberry Pearl 8100 leaves the traditional, professional Blackberry look behind, and aims itself squarely at consumers with its candybar format, sleek black and silver design and light weight. It's got plenty of features to keep a smart phone fan happy, however we're disappointed in the 1.3-megapixel camera and the lack of Wi-Fi Read more

BlackBerry Bold 9900 review
If you're a die-hard BlackBerry user, you'll appreciate the Bold 9900's pin-sharp screen, speedy processor and operating-system improvements. We can't see the 9900 creating many BlackBerry converts, though. Read more
