| Review summary | This is no smart phone, which may limit its appeal, but the Samsung Solid could fit the bill if you need a phone that can cope with dust, dirt, water and occasional drops Read full review |
The Nokia Evolve 3110 isn't the epitome of greenness, but it is a brave move by Nokia to be more environmentally friendly. What we'd really like to see now is the company use the same materials and packaging in all its phones. The 3110 Evolve is a good start, but it's a simple phone that won't appeal to everyone Read full review |
We love the way the F110 uses the real-time pedometer and heart rate monitor data to provide you with a structured way to gradually increase your fitness. Don't worry -- it does well as a phone, too. We just wish Samsung would also offer the technology on one of its MP3 players Read full review |
There's nothing particularly wild or crazy about the Sony Ericsson T715. It's a straightforward phone with a solid set of features and a stylish design. Those who want a small, smart 3G handset that's simple to use should appreciate the T715 Read full review |

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