In this week's most coveted phones, there's something for everyone; Sony Ericsson's sleek 3G phone, Nokia's first camcorder phone and a thumb-a-rific model from Samsung are on the slate among others.

Sony Ericsson K610i

Score: 87% When: July 2006 Worth: €300

Read the full article » The K610i is all about balance - the right kinds of features, ease of use and attractive looks. Basics such as voice/video calling and messaging perform with aplomb, while the camera is one of the best we've seen sans autofocus.

Fortunately, memory expansion and a friendly price tag saves the day, making this an excellent alternative for those desiring a mix of solid call and message handling and excellent music capabilities.

Nokia N93

Read the full article » 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.
