  1. Nokia E63

    Nokia E63

    Like its older brother, the E71, the E63 will make an excellent messaging phone, but is for people who need to be connected without the tech trimmings.

    If you have a desktop hard drive full of media files that you wish you could take with you on the train to work, there is no better phone than the HD Icon.

  4. Samsung UltraTouch (S8300)

    Samsung UltraTouch (S8300)

    Its camera is great and the screen looks amazing, but the UltraTouch is not a knockout. It's a weird mix of business looks, average apps and dodgy performance, and we just can't tell who exactly Samsung is trying to sell it to.

  5. HTC Magic

    HTC Magic

    Parts of the phone are as the name suggests, magic, but the absence of outstanding multimedia jeopardises the success of this latest Android.

  6. Samsung Omnia Icon

  7. i-mate Ultimate 8502

    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.

  8. Samsung Omnia

    Samsung Omnia

    Although there are some design quirks, the Samsung Omnia promises to be a solid alternative to Apple's iPhone.

  9. Samsung Galaxy Icon

    Samsung Galaxy Icon

    While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.

  10. Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
