| Review summary | Compared to the original O2 XDA Orbit, the O2 Xda Orbit 2 adds some much needed oomph. It won't blow you away in the looks department but it's got it going on underneath the bonnet. If you need to stay connected and have a penchant for getting lost, then this GPS-enabled smart phone might be the perfect match for you Read full review |
We've been yearning for a phone with a Qwerty keypad that looks good and works like it should, and here it is. The Nokia E71 exceeded our expectations and is a great example of Nokia's ability to combine ease of use with attractive design. While we don't like the camera, we think the rest is pretty close to perfect 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.

HTC Advantage X7510
The cost will automatically put the X7510 out of reach for most buyers, but it does possess great qualities for business users
Jabra BT3010
It's easy to use and fits well in the ear, but controls are tiny and performance only passable
LG KC550
It's not the best 5-megapixel camera phone out there, but it's not the most expensive either
