Can't afford a luxurious fashion phone but still want to look good about town? Don't worry - a limited budget is no excuse to skimp on style; these phones are both wallet and fashion friendly.

Motorola PEBL

Score: 65% When: September 2005 (T-Mobile) Worth: €250

Read the full article » Now available on T-Mobile, the high-style oval design of the Motorola PEBL is a must-have for fashion-conscious chatters who don't mind sacrificing substance for style. The free clamshell comes with a travesty of a VGA camera which should be used solely for MMS party pics, as well as a decent keypad which stands in stark contrast to the poor usability of the outdated and unintuitive user interface of the handset - a constant source of annoyance. Battery life is also a tad on the short side, with 2 hours of talk time and 4 days of standby. Read the full article »
Nokia 7360

Score: 60% When: March 2006 Worth: €275

Nokia 7370

Score: 78% When: March 2006 Worth: €400

Read the full article » 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. In our tests, the 7370 eked out a talk time of 2.5 hours and 6 days of standby. Read the full article »
Nokia 7380

Score: 56% When: February 2006 Worth: €550

Nokia 7380

Image gallery »
Read the full article » The Nokia 7380 bears no resemblence to an ordinary mobile phone, providing an Apple iPod-style scroll wheel for navigation and text input as opposed to a keypad. On the upside, it’s smaller than most phones and also sports a widescreen display, but its mediocre battery life and virtually unusable text input hamper use to the extent that it cannot be recommended as a daily-use handset. Using it to show off, however, is another matter altogether. Read the full article »
