Sony Ericsson impresses again with its new monster screened slider phone.

A solid phone with interesting fitness functions and Sony Ericsson's brilliant Walkman music software

A great smartphone – particularly for ‘voice’ users. But we’d like to have seen the ‘touch’ technology run deeper.

A fast lifestyle phone that might be more at home in the business world.

Not quite small enough to inhale, but the features and looks will still leave you breathless.

All the nuances of the new Nokia N series at a more consumer grade level.

A great piece of hardware, backed up by BlackBerry’s legendary services.

The Walkman has evolved into a phone. And it's a lot better than we were expecting it to be.

This isn’t the phone that you buy for the menial task of calling people.

Design, feeling and aesthetics combine into a functional beauty.

Big and heavy but the features this 3G phone sports are phenomenal.

This very stylish clamshell phone from Sony Ericsson proves it’s not just a pretty face.

This is the kind of phone that makes its owners roll off features and praise at you. It’s not perfect though.

If you’re wondering why we mention the K750i it’s because this is practically exactly the same phone.

Much like the PC and component market, mobile phones have a product lifecycle that changes so rapidly it's hard to keep up. Panasonic has stayed with their tried and true clamshell design, first made popular by the GD88 and continued with the X700. This handset turns their previous generations upside down, offering Panasonic's first smart phone based on Symbian OS version 7.0.

The 650 really picks up where the 600 left off, and while it doesn't look too different to the eye, many of the changes are under the hood or subtle manipulations of the 600's design. It runs the new Palm OS 5.4 and has a much faster 312MHz Intel PXA270 processor, but the most immediate difference is the screen: it's now double the resolution at 320 x 320.

This is a handset we have been waiting to hit our shores for some time. Sony Ericsson now brings the S700i  to Australia and with it an amazing set of features and quality to match.

The new Sony Ericsson P910i is the only true phone/PDA hybrid on review in this roundup so aesthetically it marries some of the largeness of a PDA with the slimness of a phone to end up with a unit that's just right: it's not too big and not too small.

The myS-7 from Sagem is the company's first foray into the smartphone market with Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system. It's a little larger than the Xphone II but this marginally wider neck means that keys are just that tiny bit wider, and when your main mode of input is the keypad this tiny extra can work wonders.

The XDA (January 2003, page 41) and the XDA II have both done well in PC Authority reviews before, but our main complaint has been one of size: the XDA's are normal PDAs, but big phones. The XDA IIs still keeps a large touchscreen, but the unit is slightly slimmer and thinner than the previous models.
