ZTE Skate review
The ZTE Skate impresses with pure Android 2.3 on a massive 4.3-inch screen for a decent SIM-free price despite an under-powered CPU and dodgy build quality. Read more

LG Chocolate BL20 review
The LG Chocolate BL20 looks like a smooth operator, but in terms of functionality and features, it doesn't present that much of a step up from its older sibling -- the KG800. If you're shopping on a budget then this is worth considering, but there are better phones available in its class. Read more

Garmin-Asus Nuvifone M10 review
The Garmin-Asus Nuvifone M10 smart phone offers excellent navigation software, sturdy build quality and a bright, crisp screen. Its Windows Mobile operating system isn't as slick as some competing offerings, but the M10 could be worth a look if you're planning a road trip 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

Nokia N82 (Black) review
It may only be a different coloured casing but we think it's a huge improvement, given how ugly the silver version looks. One of our main criticisms of Nokia N82 was its dreary appearance, and this is a step in the right direction for an otherwise excellent phone Read more

Acer Liquid Metal review
Black is white and up is down in the Acer Liquid Metal's topsy-turvy custom user interface. Happily, you can turn it off, resulting in a perfectly passable Android 2.2 smart 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

Acer Liquid E Ferrari Special Edition review
Depending on your opinion of the F1 racing squad, the Acer Liquid E Ferrari Special Edition will either strike you as tasteless or the most gorgeous phone imaginable. Beyond the surface, it retains the same positives and negatives of the Liquid E, which has very recently been outclassed by Android newcomers. Read more
