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.

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.

There's one thing that's immediately noticeable and annoying about the otherwise superb Xphone II: it's incredibly slow to turn on and boot up. We clocked about 72 seconds from pressing the power button to connecting to our service, with about a minute of that taken up by just booting the phone's OS.

Wider than a normal phone and encroaching on PDA girth turf, the BlackBerry 7100v is both a capable phone and a capable PDA.

The 6820 is Nokia's business phone. Its previous incarnation -- the 6800 -- was heavily criticised for not offering tri-band or Bluetooth; both of which have now been remedied. For something the size of a regular phone, we can applaud Nokia for shoe-horning a full Qwerty keyboard in.

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. Wherever you are, if an urgent email comes through to any of your email addresses -- and the 7100v supports up to 10 -- you can act on it instantly.
