Sony Ericsson K750i
Score: 80% When: June 2005 Worth: $290 - $410 What: Camera phones, Sony Ericsson phones
Compact yet high quality, Sony Ericsson’s K750i is the first camera phone to merge a 2 Megapixel camera with a small form factor and still achieve results with good colour saturation and comparably crisp detail. The inclusion of auto and macro focus further reinforce a positive impression, even though we’re slightly disappointed by its poor synchronization performance. Connectivity in general is also a tad limited, but the high resolution screen provides a window to an otherwise impressive handset. More...

Samsung SGH-T809
Score: 70% When: December 2005 Worth: $150 - $300 What: Camera phones, Slim phones
Add an all-black and sleek design to a slider handset and it'll be a definitive hit - and even more so if you throw in an impressively bright and clear 262K screen to act as the viewfinder for a Megapixel camera snapping high-quality stills. Still, its slim form factor has led the SGH-T809 to make some compromises, including a mediocre navigational pad and battery life. For those who don't mind these slight bumps in the road, however, the Samsung SGH-T809 comes highly recommended. More...

Sony Ericsson K790i
When: July 2006 What: Camera phones, Sony Ericsson phones
Substituting 3G for EDGE, this sibling of the Sony Ericsson K800i sports a 3.2 Megapixel camera with autofocus, PictBridge and photo blogging as well as a music player, stereo Bluetooth audio and USB 2.0. More...

Samsung SCH-A990
Score: 79% When: July 2006 Worth: $350 - $400 What: Phones, Camera phones
With its 3.2-megapixel camera and swiveling display, the 3G-enabled Samsung SCH-A990 takes some of the sharpest pictures we've seen from a U.S. cameraphone. Unfortunately, this somewhat bulky clamshell stumbles with Verizon Wireless' clunky V Cast Music player and its lack of a USB cable and stereo earbuds. More...

Nokia N80
When: June 2006 Worth: $700 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.

Helio Kickflip
Score: 53% When: May 2006 Worth: $250 What: 3G phones, Camera phones
While the Kickflip isn’t without its innovations – we love the ability to gift, beg, and rent content, the MySpace integration shows promise, and we look forward to the upcoming PC sync utility – this bulky spinner stumbles badly with its shaky messaging and calling features, mediocre camera, middling video offerings, and poor battery life.

Helio Hero
Score: 57% When: May 2006 Worth: $275 What: 3G phones, Camera phones
The bulky but high tech-looking Hero slider suffers from many of the same problems that plague the Helio Kickflip: limited messaging options, no Bluetooth, a sub-par 2MP camera, lackluster calling features and weak multimedia content from Helio's mobile storefront. That said, a few key features – such as the ability to gift, beg, and rent content and the phone's MySpace integration – show some promise. More...

Nokia N73
When: August 2006 Worth: $550 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.
