| Review summary | The LG KE500 is a handset that flatters to deceive. Initially it looks impressive, but as you start to use it, you become more aware of its failings, such as its plasticky build quality and anaemic battery life Read full review |
The Sagem my150X handset from looks great and is easy to use. If you're looking for a super cheap Pay As You Go phone, it's a seriously attractive option Read full review |
If you're looking for a low cost, pay as you go handset, then the Orange Berlin is definitely worth checking out. It looks great, has loads of impressive features and doesn't cost the Earth. Only the short battery life lets it down slightly Read full review |
The Nokia 6303 Classic lives up to its name by refining the best features of the phones of yesteryear, and packing them into a solid case that's lovely to hold. It's a perfect phone for anyone who wants easy calling, texting and music for a low price, and is happy to forgo high-end features like GPS and Wi-Fi Read full review |

Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
