| Review summary | The Q 9 has one of the best smart phone keypads we have used and the Windows Mobile 6 software moves along fairly speedily. It's definitely one of the better models out there at the moment Read full review |
Apple has put the icing on the cake with the iPhone 3G S, adding many of the smaller features that we missed on the previous model. It's not a huge change from the iPhone 3G, so look carefully at the hardware before upgrading or investing in this expensive phone, but it won't disappoint users who crave a great user experience. It's the current king of gadgets Read full review |
If you can stand the Hero's occasional sluggishness, it's a fantastic smart phone packed with great features. We like its distinctive looks, and the innovative user interface brings Android much closer to being as fun and good-looking as the iPhone OS, while being far more customisable. Occasional lag and Android's rough edges mean it's not quite an iPhone killer, but it's definitely fighting in the same class Read full review |
Apple has taken the iPhone to the next level and added some truly mouth-watering features. 3G is lightning fast compared to EDGE, and GPS means you'll never get lost again. You still can't send MMS and there's only a 2-megapixel camera, which may annoy you, but overall it's a wonderful experience 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
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
