Sony Ericsson Satio

The touchscreen Satio is a decent attempt by Sony Ericsson to pack into one device all the best bits of its excellent Cyber-shot camera phones and great Walkman music phones. The camera is almost as good as a dedicated compact, and its musical output sounds like that of a stand-alone MP3 player

Samsung Pixon 12 M8910

One of the first 12-megapixel camera phones, the Pixon 12 M8910 is capable of snapping some great shots, even in low light, thanks to its powerful xenon flash. Its touchscreen is resistive, so it's not as responsive as capacitive models, but the AMOLED display is bright and beautiful, and connectivity is good

Sony Ericsson C903 Cyber-shot

Although the 5-megapixel C903 Cyber-shot is inexpensive -- something that's reflected in its plasticky body and lack of Wi-Fi connectivity -- it's one of the best camera phones we've seen. Its photos are generally excellent, it sports a decent range of features and it's easy to use

Samsung Jet

Samsung touts the Jet as the fastest touchscreen phone on the market. While we're not convinced of that claim, the Jet does have plenty of other things going for it, including a gorgeously bright and vivid AMOLED screen, some innovative user-interface ideas and a great 5-megapixel camera

LG Viewty Smart GC900

The follow-up to the popular Viewty KU990, the touchscreen Viewty Smart GC900 packs an 8-megapixel camera into a slim package, sports a bright and clear screen, and offers a wealth of camera and editing options. But can this slip of a phone really snap a shot worth saving?

Sony Ericsson C510 Cyber-shot

The C510 Cyber-shot is a good all-round camera phone, with a sleek, robust design, easy-to-use interface and decent selection of entertainment features. Those expecting great photo quality will be disappointed, but the C510 has enough special features to make it a worthwhile handset

LG KC780

The KC780 is an 8-megapixel camera phone in a slider format, with an extremely functional layout that will appeal to those who feel persecuted by small keypads. We found the picture quality rather disappointing, but the KC780 is worth checking out for those seeking a basic camera phone

Samsung Pixon

Samsung's love affair with touchscreen phones has produced some gems -- and some stinkers. The latest direction both Samsung and its Korean arch-rival LG are taking touchscreens is the high-end camera phone. The Pixon packs 8 megapixels and a dual LED flash, but can it outshine its rivals?

Sony Ericsson C905

Sony Ericsson has always produced good camera phones but the C905 outdoes them all. The high-resolution camera with xenon flash produces sharp shots even in low light and we were impressed by all the extras, such as GPS and Wi-Fi. If you're looking for a serious camera phone that could replace your camera, this is it

Motorola ZINE ZN5

The Motorola ZINE ZN5's camera is one of the better ones to have graced a phone, with impressive low-light performance and 5-megapixel action. It's got a 3.5mm jack and amazing battery life, so you can play around on it for hours. But there are some drawbacks to keep in mind, most notably the phone's lack of 3G support

LG Renoir

Taking the Viewty touchscreen concept to the next level, the LG Renoir is a serious 8-megapixel camera phone with ambitions of replacing your standalone digital snapper. With HSDPA for fast mobile Internet access and Dolby Mobile for enhanced sound playback, this phone may well outshine its funny name

Samsung U800

As well as supporting HSDPA for fast downloads, the U800 also has dual cameras, so you can use it for video calling. It's a sleek-looking candybar phone with great call quality, impressive battery life and easy-to-navigate menus. Consider examining this one before making any purchasing decisions, if you ask us

Sony Ericsson C702

A dust- and splash-proof handset, Sony Ericsson's C702 is a sturdy mid-range phone that'll easily fit into your pocket when you're out in the elements. Considering it sports a 3.2-megapixel Cyber-shot camera, GPS and HSDPA, it's a bargain for someone who's on a budget

Nokia 6220 Classic

As the name suggests, Nokia has stuck to a tried and tested candy-bar design with the 6220 Classic. It still manages to pack in enough features to keep most people happy, from GPS to a 5-megapixel camera to HSDPA. If you're looking for a compact camera phone with a xenon flash, it's worth having a look

LG KC550

LG might be making a name for itself in high-end handsets, but don't count it out of the rest of the market just yet. Meet the LG KC550, a pay as you go phone with a 5-megapixel camera. While it lacks 3G and Wi-Fi, it has a few tricks up its sleeve to make this a good, affordable option

Sony Ericsson C902

Sony Ericsson is constantly blurring the boundaries between mobile phones and digital cameras. Its latest camera phone, the C902, blends in to both camps with its 5-megapixel camera complete with autofocus and face detection. It's an excellent handset, too, with fabulous features

Samsung Tocco

Samsung's latest touchscreen handset, the Tocco, is ready to take on the iPhone. The Tocco's interface is much improved over previous Samsung touchscreen phones and it struts HSDPA and a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus. Does its great style tip the scales in its favour?

Nokia N82 (Black)

It may only be a different coloured casing but we think it's a huge improvement, given how ugly the silver version looks. One of our main criticisms of Nokia N82 was its dreary appearance, and this is a step in the right direction for an otherwise excellent phone

Nokia N82

It might have fallen off the ugly tree and hit several particularly grotesque branches on the way down, but the Nokia N82 is all about substance over style. It's got HSDPA and Wi-Fi for mobile broadband, GPS that just works and -- most importantly -- the best camera we've ever seen in a phone

Samsung G800

Samsung's reputation for making great phones continues with the G800. Its design is close to a digital camera, sporting a 5-megapixel shooter, 3x optical zoom and a xenon flash. Add in HSDPA for high-speed Internet access and you've got a recipe for Samsung's best camera phone to date
