Typical price: £70
What is it: An entry-level clamshell phone with a 1.3-megapixel camera and an expandable miniSD slot
What we think: We like the price tag and the phone is easy to use, however we're slightly disappointed with the lack of a speakerphone mode and no Bluetooth

| Review summary | Virgin's Lobster 544 comes with some useful features and is relatively cheap. However, don't expect it all -- it's designed for people on a budget and some cuts have been made. For example, there's no Bluetooth or FM radio, and the casing does feel a little more plasticky than more expensive phones Read full review |
The Sony Ericsson W760i is the best Walkman phone to date with so many features it rivals non-music phones like the N95. The lack of a standard headphone socket is its biggest flaw, but other than that, it's going down as one of our all-time favourite Sony Ericsson phones -- and not just in the music phone category Read full review |
Despite some important missing features, a slow data network and call quality that doesn't always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated mobile phone and MP3 player Read full review |
The W890i's successor -- the W902 -- offers the best camera we've seen on a music phone, with a decent interface and a solid, attractive design. It loses marks for not having a real headphone socket, but if you want a full-featured music phone, it's one to check out Read full review |

Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
