| Review summary | There's no denying that the Nokia 5200 has a number of plus points including a funky design, good battery life and easy-to-use menu system. It's just a shame it's let down by iffy headphones and camera 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 |
