| Review summary | If all you need is a phone that makes calls, sends text messages and plays your favourite MP3s, then the OT-E801 is worth a look. We'd recommend spending more on something more sophisticated, but if £20 is all you have to splash, you can't complain too much 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 |
