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

HTC Touch Diamond2 review
The touchscreen Touch Diamond2 ticks all the boxes when it comes to features, including Wi-Fi, HSDPA, a 5-megapixel camera and GPS. It's got plenty of apps on-board, and there's loads more to download, but the TouchFLO interface can't mask Windows Mobile's usability flaws, so it's not the most finger-friendly device Read more

Acer Tempo X960 review
Among Acer's first forays into touchscreen smart phone territory, the Tempo X960 on paper looks like a Windows Mobile 6.1 device that ticks all the right boxes. With HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity for speedy Web browsing, can it strike fear into the hearts of its rivals? Read more

Palm Pixi Plus review
The Palm Pixi Plus may have the name of a little pink fairy, but it looks more like a rubbery black seal. Its minimalist looks, full Qwerty keyboard and glossy touchscreen, combined with the webOS software we loved on the Palm Pre, make the Pixi one to seriously consider Read more

Palm Pre Plus review
The Pre Plus keeps everything that was great about the Pre, and adds more memory, a better keyboard and more power. The shelves of the App Catalog are still relatively bare, but, if you don't mind that, the Pre Plus will do a great job of keeping you in the loop when you're on the move Read more

BlackBerry Storm 2 review
Anyone who finds normal touchscreens too fiddly will appreciate the BlackBerry Storm 2's clicking version, which makes it easy to tap accurately. The usual range of BlackBerry features is also included, making this handset well worth a look for email fiends with a hankering for a touch-sensitive interface Read more

Samsung Tocco Ultra review
The Tocco Ultra cuts its own path in the touchscreen-phone thicket by being the first to include an alphanumeric keypad. Combined with a gorgeous AMOLED screen, GPS, HSDPA and an 8-megapixel camera, this is a great handset for users who want a touchscreen without sacrificing the features of a slider smart phone Read more

Palm Pre 2 review
The Palm Pre 2 is another fun, feature-packed Pre, but it's hard to get excited about incremental improvements, and you'll be mostly excluded from your friends' app frenzy. Read more

BlackBerry Torch 9800 review
There's not much that the BlackBerry Torch 9800 can't do, but it doesn't make it easy. Pricey, chunky and packed with features, this is a smart phone where function beats form -- and fun. Read more

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. A whopping, responsive touchscreen, speedy Snapdragon processor and the improved Android 2.1 operating system are among the abundant delights on offer Read more
