Nokia N73
Score: 95% When: August 2006 Worth: 550 - 750 What: Phones, Camera phones
Falling only marginally short of the image quality produced by its gargantuan N93 sibling, Nokia's N73 is a superb choice for shutterbugs with its excellent picture taking skills, a multitude of sharing options and compact size - but for some strange reason it skimps on memory. The basics have also been looked well after with first-rate calling and solid messaging capabilities under the hood alongside a raft of multimedia and productivity options; whether for pleasure or business, this one's a winner.

Nokia N80
Score: 90% When: May 2006 Worth: 675 - 750 What: Camera phones, 3G phones
Starting off on a high note, the Nokia N80 camera phone lines up a brilliant high-resolution screen and 3 Megapixel-pushing camera only to put its foot in its mouth seconds later through the absence of an autofocus, which hampers its ability to produce quality stills with predictive consistency. Although it also includes the most extensive line-up of printing, publishing and image management services of any camera phone to date, it still falls marginally short of its N90 predecessor - yet retains broader overall appeal due to its music, business and wireless photo streaming functionality, rendering it a superb 3G phone.

Orange SPV M3100
When: August 2006 What: Phones, Business phones
Running Windows Mobile 5.0, the SPV M3100's greatest improvement over its predecessor is the inclusion of HSDPA, which boosts 3G transfer speeds in the range of 5x. Also present is a slide-out landscape thumbboard, along with a 2.8-inch touch screen and a range of messaging, scheduling and productvity applications. Also, the device incorporates Wi-Fi 802.11g for blazing speeds at short range, while tri-band UMTS support renders it a perfect choice for globetrotters with a craving for high-speed data. More...

Nokia 5500 Sport
Score: 85% When: August 2006 Worth: 350 What: Phones, Rugged phones
It's the most advanced outdoors handset we've seen to date, but Nokia's 5500 Sport still favours ruggedness over features which is evident from its mid-range set of capabilities. Its call handling is excellent, while messaging performance isn't ideal due to issues with the keypad and a cramped screen; still, the phone makes a good overall impression but is likely to appeal mostly to those in real need of a phone that can take a beating or excercisers interested in its handy Sports application set.

LG KG320
When: August 2006 Worth: 325 What: Phones, Slim phones
Rarely have we seen a slim phone which leaves such an admirable first impression. The elegantly designed KG320 is a handset which doesn't compromise on ergonomics in order to achieve a slimmer form factor, resulting in the inclusion of a high-quality keypad and an excellent display in a wafer-thin form factor. Advanced functionality is expectedly absent, however, given its modest battery life; a 1.3 Megapixel camera and a useless music player sans memory expansion is as good as it gets. More...

Nokia N93
Score: 87% When: August 2006 Worth: 550 What: Phones, Camera phones
Suffering from a few teething problems in the software department, the Nokia N93 is undoubtedly capable of shooting high-quality stills and truly outstanding video - as well it should, being built like a brick house. First-rate calling and messaging capabilities are also on the slate along with a boatload of additional features, but unless you're willing to sacrifice portability for the ultimate in imaging there are better balanced options to be had.

Motorola Q
When: January 2007 What: Business phones, Motorola phones
The Q looks great: slipping it in a jeans pocket is no problem, and it was easy to hold against our cheek during calls. The QWERTY keypad is refreshingly roomy, making for good two- or even one-handed typing. The display looked bright and razor-sharp to our eyes; unfortunately, it isnt a touchscreen. Our Web browsing on the mobile Internet Explorer was relatively speedy thanks to the Qs EV-DO connection. The Qs relative simplicity comes with some important limitations: namely, the lack of a full Office Mobile suite. Its messaging features are up to snuff, however, and music mavens will get a kick out of the mobile Windows Media Player. The Q's 1.3-megapixel camera took surprisingly good pictures for a smartphone. We got about 4.5 hours of talk time for the Q, but conference calling is surprisingly missing. More...

A high-resolution colour screen runs in tandem with a 3.2 Megapixel camera with autofocus to render it among the most capable camera phones announced, storing stills and video to memory cards en route.

Motorola MOTOFONE
When: December 2006 What: Phones, Motorola phones
Just 9mm thick, the new sleek new MOTOFONE brings some serious style to an otherwise bare-bones handset. Designed for use in emerging markets, the MOTOFONE (CDMA and GSM versions will be available) boasts a ClearVIsion display that's easy to read in harsh sunlight, while an icon-based menu coupled with voice commands in local languages makes for easy-as-pie operation. Rounding out the features are a pair of dual antennas, a speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones and an earpiece with extra-loud volume for busy streets. More...
