What is it: Smartphone with 5-megapixel camera
What we think: A good all-rounder, it looks lovely and it works well, although it's hardly revolutionary

| Review summary | The Nokia N85 is another solid N-series phone from the peeps in Finland, but if you're looking for something different this won't be your bag. What you have with the N85 is a well-designed, feature-packed phone, but it's not a million miles away from the N95 -- it's just more refined. We still like it and think that as long as you don't mind having a 5-megapixel camera instead of an 8-megapixel one, it's definitely worth checking out Read full review |
Apple has put the icing on the cake with the iPhone 3G S, adding many of the smaller features that we missed on the previous model. It's not a huge change from the iPhone 3G, so look carefully at the hardware before upgrading or investing in this expensive phone, but it won't disappoint users who crave a great user experience. It's the current king of gadgets Read full review |
If you can stand the Hero's occasional sluggishness, it's a fantastic smart phone packed with great features. We like its distinctive looks, and the innovative user interface brings Android much closer to being as fun and good-looking as the iPhone OS, while being far more customisable. Occasional lag and Android's rough edges mean it's not quite an iPhone killer, but it's definitely fighting in the same class 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 |
