While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.
The Preston has the look of a better handset, but poor call quality spoils an otherwise well-performing budget-priced touchscreen phone.
With the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM has done a good job of creating an affordable phone with all the right features, although you might miss 3G connectivity. Just make sure you get it in black.

The N97 features class-leading specs matched with outstanding design and build, but it loses marks for the Symbian platform that desperately needs an overhaul to stay competitive.
HTC shows just how customisable Google's Android platform is, delivering a swag of home screen widgets out of the box. We can't wait to get our hands on the Hero.
