The Nokia E72 is a true competitor to the BlackBerry Bold 9700. With full support for push email, attachment editing and web browsing, Nokia offers a real alternative. The E72 also features a 5 megapixel camera, video calling, a media player, FM radio and GPS with Ovi Maps. Ultra-fast data access, WiFi, and stunning battery life complete the package....
The Nokia X3 is an inexpensive slide-design music phone. It has a good music player, FM radio, memory card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo speakers. It also comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera and has good battery life, but is let down by a poor quality keypad.
The Samsung Genio Qwerty appears to be a low cost alternative to a BlackBerry, but the keyboard turns out to be a flop. Still, it does offer a choice of snap-on colour cases, text conversations with cool graphics, a good music player and FM radio, and decent battery life.
If you want a touchscreen phone with the benefit of a QWERTY keyboard and you don't want to spend big bucks, the Genio Touch is pretty well as good as it gets. With a native facebook application, WiFi, aGPS, 3.5mm headphone jack and memory expandable to a monster 16GB, there isn't much not to like about this phone. If we could improve one thing, it...

The 5230 is an entry-level touchscreen smartphone. Its key features are its large touchscreen, A-GPS with Ovi Maps, 3G, downloadable apps from the Ovi store and outstanding battery life. In other ways it's a disappointment, with a poor camera, a mono speaker, no WiFi and no video calling. We think that the 5530 offers a more rounded package, but otherwise...
The Nokia N900 features the new Linux-based Maemo operating system and is more of an internet tablet than a phone. Its outstanding features are its QWERTY keyboard, hi-res touchscreen, web browser and multitasking ability. Downsides are poor user-friendliness, size, weight and the very high price.
Nokia's first Xseries phone is an upmarket touchscreen smartphone with a compact design. Its star features include a superbly responsive capacitative touchscreen, 32GB of memory, an impressive 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, video calling, A-GPS, HSDPA, WiFi, a 3.5mm audio jack and outstanding battery performance. It's not cheap, but quality...
The HTC HD2 has the biggest screen on any phone. With an absolutely brilliant touchscreen user interface and the latest Windows Mobile operating system, this is very powerful but easy to use device. Features include a superb web browser, GPS with Google Maps, a media player and an FM radio. It also has a 5 megapixel camera with video calling, although...
Palm's first phone to run the webOS operating system is a funky touchscreen multi-tasking gizmo designed for the facebook generation. With a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 8GB of memory, built-in GPS and a great web browser, the Pre has many attractive features. But we feel that it's too early for mainstream users to rush out and embrace the webOS platform.
