Nokia 7370
Score: 75% When: March 2006 Worth: €400 What: Fashion phones, Nokia phones
Trendy colours and a faux leather exterior combine with a solid, compact spinner design to render the Nokia 7370 a stylish contender with classic touches. A crisp and colourful 2-inch QVGA screen ranks as its most impressive feature, contributing to hassle-free navigation throughout Nokia's Series 40 interface courtesy of its high resolution - the latter of which joins EDGE in making WAP browsing a similarly pleasant affair. Keypad and navigation buttons are, for once, first-rate with regard to both looks and usability, proving text input needs not be sacrificed on the altar of style.
A fully adequate 1.3 Megapixel camera with an intuitive interface has also taken up residence within the 7370, adjacent to 10 MB of memory which stores in the range of 50 images at maximum quality. Pictures can be shared via MMS, Bluetooth or be sent to a PC (for which it is necessary to purchase a proprietary Pop-Port to USB cable). In our tests, the 7370 eked out a talk time of 2.5 hours and 6 days of standby.
Effortlessly balances the aspects of fashion and functionality at an average price as compared to other fashion phones.

LG P7200
Score: 72% When: November 2005 Worth: €450 What: Camera phones, Slim phones
The LG P7200 offers an impressive set of high-end features, gracing it all with a slim clamshell form factor complete with a Transformer-style front cover stunt which renders the handset a dedicated camera look-a-like by the flick of a wrist. Its most notable flaws include falling short on text input and performing only on average with regard to its camera and music player capabilities. As such, eager texters should stay away, but everyone else on the hunt for a slim clamshell would be well served by the P7200. More...

LG KG800
Score: 70% When: May 2006 Worth: €500 What: Slim phones, Fashion phones
With the KG800, LG clearly made the decision to keep specifications on the down low in order to bring forward a small, light and supremely stylish handset - although its price tag claims otherwise. Its feature set - including a mediocre camera and music player - compares reasonably well to other slim and fashion phones; its most aggravating fault is the lagging text input, which stands in contrast to its responsive touch-sensitive navigational controls. This is a handset for those who primarily call and text, and want to look good doing it. More...

Nokia 7270
Score: 60% When: January 2005 Worth: €450 What: Fashion phones, Nokia phones
The elegant and stylish Nokia 7270 with its suave suede snap-on covers definitely has something going for it. Be prepared to change snap-on covers often, though, as they will get dirty and curl up in corners faster than you can say ’evil genius money-making plan’. Nevertheless, good looks coupled with a surprisingly extensive list of features makes the 7270 a great handset overall. More...

Nokia 8800
Score: 60% When: July 2005 Worth: €850 What: Nokia phones, Fashion phones
Yet another fashion entry from Nokia, the Nokia 8800 offers a luxurious alternative to ye olde chatterbox. Its stainless steel cover and sliding mechanism ooze of quality and style, with a high-resolution screen topping off an excellent first impression. Its 0.5 Megapixel camera and digital music player are both letdowns, but the inclusion of Bluetooth and EDGE should place the 8800 firmly in the sights of those who fancy exclusivity mixed with good connectivity - and don’t mind the so-so battery life.

Nokia 6080
When: December 2006 Worth: €180 What: Phones, Fashion phones
Favouring fashion over features, the Nokia 6080 offers good looks with a choice of silver or gold accents yet little to brag about in way of functionality. The handset's highlight is its stereo FM radio, while the Series 40 interface also provides access to a 0.3 Megapixel camera which harnesses the 4 MB of onboard memory for storage. Additional features include support for Java and MP3 ringtones, as well as EDGE for snappy data connectivity; push-to-talk; SyncML synchronization; and Infrared connectivity.
