"Does what it says on the box"

Light, small, looks resonable, cheap
What I don't like:
Small buttons, no loud speaker, no data sync to pc
Review:
Just bought one of these today as it was the cheapest new phone on the market apart from the motorola F3, which was just to basic. As I only need to make/receive calls this phone is very good in that respect and the mp3's a bonus. In general I'm pleased although menus not as nice as Nokia and having to use proprietary headphones makes the mp3 player less useful as I'm far less likely to have them with me than standard 3.5mm's.

BlackBerry Storm 2
Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
