| Review summary | The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic may look quite funky and have decent music features, but it's let down by a relatively poor camera and short battery life. If you want a phone that lets you listen to tunes on the go there are much better options out there 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.

Its high-end camera takes excellent photos, but the Pixon's touchscreen is less impressive
