Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile U9200 review

Reviews It's also a handy machine to have around when there's no Wi-Fi network or mainline Internet connection available as it's got a built in HSDPA card, providing fast Web access over the existing mobile phone network.

LG Prada KE850 review

Reviews Even the box it comes in looks as though it was designed to house a luxury watch, not a mobile phone. When it launched the Chocolate phone last year, LG established itself as a serious fashion-phone manufacturer.
