    i-mate Ultimate 8502

    Market newcomer i-mate have recently released Australia's first HSUPA enabled smartphones in an exclusive deal with Telstra, the i-mate Ultimate 8502 and 9502. We had a look at the smaller sibling and were very impressed with what we found.

  • Palm Treo 750

    Palm Treo 750

    Here's a dollop of irony: the best Windows Mobile smartphone has been created by Palm! A bevy of OS enhancements and access to Telstra's Next G mobile broadband network easily make it the best Windows Mobile device we've ever used.

  • Nokia E66

    Nokia E66

    While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.

    Samsung INNOV8 (i8510)

    The INNOV8 is loaded with features and sports massive storage. If you're in the market for a mobile phone that can do just about anything the INNOV8 should be on your shortlist.

  • HTC Touch HD

    HTC Touch HD

    The Touch HD is a fantastic phone, if you can afford one. It out-performs every HTC phone previously and looks fantastic doing it.

  • LG Prada KF900

    LG Prada KF900

    The Prada phone update is proof that LG is well and truly in touch with the fashion phone segment, and the slide-out keyboard is a master stroke.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61-217

    Compaq Presario CQ61-217

    The Compaq Presario CQ61-217 adds a little bit of extra quality to the sub-AU$1000 market, though sacrifices on its network capability. For AU$799 though, it's a steal, and if you're not concerned by some of the lacking components, this one's a good buy.

    Sony Ericsson S500i

    What the S500i lacks in the high-end gadgetry of its competition, it makes up for it in style, ease-of-use and its budget price tag.

  • BlackBerry Bold 9000

    BlackBerry Bold 9000

    The Bold is what BlackBerry fans have been waiting for. It's feature-rich and sharply designed, let down in small measure by some cumbersome software.

    Sony Ericsson C902

    Camera phones with 5 megapixels are no longer just for people with huge pockets. The C902 packs a very mean shooter into a very slim package and delivers excellent photos.

  • i-mate Ultimate 9502

    i-mate Ultimate 9502

    The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.

  • Asus P750

    Asus P750

    The Asus P750 may be chunky, but it packs in a huge array of features. Combined with an equally impressive software bundle, the result is an excellent multifunction handheld that should appeal to a wide range of mobile professionals.

    BlackBerry Curve 8300

    The BlackBerry Curve takes both good and bad factors from the Pearl and 8800, making it an enticing phone -- but we're still waiting for the ultimate consumer BlackBerry
