Typical price: £700
What is it: Premium-priced style phone with limited high-tech features
What we think: Superb build quality alone can't justify a stratospheric price tag. More style than substance

Review:
As usual, CNET has it all wrong. This is a phone first, and a great phone at that. This is a very, very expensive phone for grown-ups. This is not a media phone or a music phone, though if you really have to have that stuff, it has it. This is a first class, no nonsense device for people who love great industrial design and are willing to spend the money to own it. This is a phone for people looking for, well, a phone. This is a superb phone. Everything about this phone is a positive, including the version of S40 that it runs. This is not a gimmicky phone. This is not an iPhone. This is a Porsche 911. That's what it is. This phone is a classic.
I think CNET reviewers need a break. It's time for some new blood.

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
