Typical price: £240
What is it: Stylish, ultra-thin clamshell phone with touch-sensitive outer screen

| Review summary | Motorola has finally cracked it and made a slimmer Razr, with funky, easy-to-use menus, that measures just 12mm thick when shut. Our only niggles are that it lacks the solid feel of the original Razr, that the camera could be better and it could do with 3G, but we're glad to see that Motorola is finally back 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 |

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 |
