Head into any mobile phone shop and it's easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer range of choices. This guide breaks down what you need to look for - and what you can safely overlook.

Escaping the sheer hell of a boring meeting or tedious conversation is now possible with this crafty Windows Mobile app called FakeCall.

Nokia turns out a camera phone we'd be happy to ditch our digital camera for. Check out the pics, and our first impressions.

It's official - flip phones are out, and touch phones are in, as shown by this week's major launch of a new crop of phones by Samsung, as it goes in to battle with the iPhone.

A stylish and rugged business-class smartphone with a huge choice of push-email clients available.

Plenty of modern phones support email, of course, but what always made BlackBerry special was its push technology. With this, you don't need to dial up to collect your email: just sit back and wait for the messages to come to you.

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.

The new Nokia Communicator  unfortunately evokes early '90s mobile phones: it has a long body, small display and is not something you could slip into a pocket. Closed, the 9500 is monstrous, but when you open its sideways clamshell design the 9500 comes into its own.
