Nokia 5220 XpressMusic review

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:20:02 +0000

Best noticed for its teen-friendly looks, and best purchased for its musical abilities, this otherwise average Nokia 5220 XpressMusic phone does its main job well. It's not breaking any ground or adding anything new to the market, but what it needed to get right, it's got right

Samsung Soul U900 review

Mon, 12 May 2008 12:48:01 +0000

Some handsets can be all style and no substance, but Samsung incorporates both into its Soul U900. This attractive slider phone employs a well-executed touch-sensitive navigation pad and packs a 5-megapixel camera. With HSDPA for high-speed browsing, there's plenty to enjoy

Fly Mobile SLT100 review

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 17:22:01 +0000

The Fly Mobile SLT100 is a great value phone if you consider its vast range of features. The handset has a touchscreen, while its music player produces excellent sound quality. You can also hook the phone up to a TV to view pictures and videos and play games

Samsung J600 review

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 15:49:01 +0000

The Samsung J600 is a stylish yet solid, low cost fashion phone which is easy-to-use. Battery life is also well above average and call quality is great, while it's easy to put tracks on the handset and the sound quality supplied by the headphones is excellent

Virgin Mobile Lobster 320 review

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 11:59:02 +0000

The Virgin Mobile Lobster 320 is a compact and good-looking phone with an appealingly low price. It has a surprisingly large and well-spaced keypad, with plenty of shortcut options when you when you flick it open. It even has a camera, unlike many of its low-priced competitors

Virgin Mobile Lobster 700TV review

Thu, 12 Oct 2006 16:12:01 +0000

This is the first handset to offer a DAB receiver and it picks up four TV channels as well as digital radio stations. This is really nifty, as the picture quality is actually very watchable, although it doesn't work on the train. Unfortunately, the price for this functionality is a great big ugly handset and short battery life

Virgin Lobster 544 review

Wed, 23 Aug 2006 13:00:00 +0000

Despite its flamboyant name, Virgin's Lobster 544 is actually a fairly simple clamshell phone. It features a 1.3-megapixel camera, an MP3 player and it comes bundles with a 64MB miniSD card so you can store a bunch of photos and MP3s. Best of all, it costs just £70 on pay as you go at Virgin Mobile, making it ideal for those on a budget

BenQ-Siemens E61 mofi review

Fri, 02 Jun 2006 16:18:01 +0000

BenQ-Siemens' E61 mofi is a small, neat, rather eye-catching handset, with music playing capability and a rather niftily sited full set of playback control buttons. It is a shame it lets itself down on one or two other music essentials, but if you want an easy-to-use phone to call, text and play tunes, this is perfectly adequate

Siemens AX72 review

Mon, 15 May 2006 11:48:01 +0000

The Siemens AX72 is an entry-level, GPRS candybar phone with a simple design and a 65k-colour screen. This is no superstar mobile, it doesn't have a camera and it won't play MP3s, but what it lacks in lustre it makes up in value for money, lightness and good audio quality
