Mobile Phones Coming Soon

Nokia N85

Unfortunately, one drawback of the display – and this is a problem which plagues all OLEDs – is that it's not likely to perform as well in direct sunlight as it does elsewhere. We know that we don't get much sunlight here in the UK, but when it rains it pours, or in this case ...

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Nokia has finally decided to join the touchscreen frenzy with the 5800 XpressMusic smartphone - a mid-range music-focused smartphone which, by our reckoning, has the potential to make inroads into Apple's market share. At £220 before taxes and subsidies, this mass market phone reall...

Motorola AURA

On board memory rocks in at a shapely 2GB, and although there's no mention of a card slot over on Motorola's site, you'd hope, given the number of file formats it supports that this has not been overlooked.

Push email support (POP3 and IMAP) comes as standard, and whilst it does no...

LG KB770

If you're out with mates on a Saturday night but would really much rather be settling down to the latest episode of Strictly, then the LG KB770 could be the answer you're looking for. Equipped with an integrated digital TV tuner that picks up free-to-air digital TV broadcasts, you can wat...

LG KF900 Prada

The original Prada phone, otherwise called the LG KE850, was a compact touchscreen fashion phone announced around the same time as the iPhone. The glamorous mobile proved immensely popular, with over 1 million handsets sold to date. Released in 2007, it won the prestigious Red Dot design ...

Nokia 7610 Supernova

The Nokia 7610 Supernova is the latest desirable slide phone from the Finnish mobile phone giant. From the first time you look at the phone you can see that it is aimed squarely at the fashion mobile market. The 7610 Supernova has smooth curves to go along with the glamorous slide design,...

LG KC780

It’s the battle of the megapixels in the mobile phone world, as LG releases yet another 8-megapixel slider. Not only that – the LG KC780 has set itself up as the "World's Slimmest 8 Megapixel Camera Phone". This is a typical LG party trick – focus on the camera...

Nokia N79

The smallest of the N-Series range to date, the Nokia N79 is a more compact descendant of the highly popular Nokia N95. Weighing less than 100g, the Nokia N79 is also the lightest handset in the series. In spite of its compactness, Nokia have managed to pack in a bevy of excellent feature...

Release date: TBA

LG KS500

A-GPS support comes with the Yahoo! Go mapplication, which, again, will allow the optic sensor to come into its own; having used Google Maps and Nokia Maps on a number of phones in the past (such as the N95), I can safely say that a 5-way directional key isn't the most intuitive or respon...

Release date: TBA

Nokia E63

The E63 is Nokia's latest addition to the E-Series of business smartphones, following on from the well-received E71. The same BlackBerry-esque full QWERTY keypad remains and save for the exclusion of a secondary front-facing camera (present on the E71), which means no video calls, it's business a...

O2 XDA Zest

It's been about seven years since O2 launched its XDA brand of smartphone, which continue to be big sellers. In the past O2 has turned to the Taiwanese manufacturer HTC for its Windows Mobile phone. In most cases fans of other networks can buy the phone under the HTC label and get it SIM ...

Samsung S3030 Tobi

The Samsung S3030 Tobi is a brightly coloured candybar phone aimed squarely at the teenage and pre-teen markets, with an emphasis on fun and safety. The spec may be nothing to write home about, but the Tobi boasts some interesting features, including SOS calls and texts, fake calls and an...

Nokia 7100 Supernova

If you're looking for a mid-range Nokia mobile phone with plenty of features, sorry to disappoint but you'll have to search elsewhere. Whilst the Nokia 7100 Supernova, priced around £60, isn't expensive, it really doesn't seem to offer much for your cash.

The 7100 is a dual-b...

Nokia 7510 Supernova

The Nokia 7510 Supernova is a colourful clamshell phone aimed squarely at the fashion conscious. In an appeal to the teen market, Nokia have pulled the clever trick of offering a slew of applications whilst skimping on the specs.

The 7510 has an iconic fold design with an easy push...

Nokia 6212 Classic

The long awaited Nokia 6212 Classic with Near Field Communication (NFC) is here at last. As well as bringing you access to web services and shared content, the handset also lets you conduct payments and ticketing with a single tap. Highlights include a 2 Megapixel snapper, mini USB port, microSD ...

Samsung i7110

The central confirming part of the D-pad is in fact an 8-way optical trackpad, which allows you to scroll diagonally across pages. Whilst a welcome addition, it's not up to the same standard as the circular optic pads featured on Samsung's business handsets (are not yet available in Europ...

Nokia 5130 XpressMusic

Unlike the popular Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone which boasts a large 3.2" touchscreen, the Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is a relatively old-style quad-band GSM phone that comes with some decent multimedia features. Like its predecessors, the 5320 and 5220 XpressMusic phones, the Nokia 5130...

Nokia 6260 Slide

Nokia's new 6260 Slide handset is (unsurprisingly) a slider which comes fully loaded with an array of top-range features including a 5 Megapixel camera with a dual LED flash and Carl Zeiss optics, Wi-Fi, GPS, 320 x 480 pixels display, which (surprisingly) doesn't come fully loaded with th...

Motorola VE66

At a glance, Motorola's VE66 is appears to be a sliding version of their previous ZN5 candybar handset, which in itself marked a departure from the preferred clamshell Motorola style. The numeric keypad is laid on in the same fashion, and the traditional Motorola circular thumb wheel takes its us...

Sony Ericsson W705

Announced earlier this month, the Sony Ericsson W705 Walkman phone is an aluminium cast slider featuring a 3.2 Megapixel camera, Walkman music player, HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity.

In terms of looks and feel, the W705 is run-of-the-mill Sony Ericsson. Available in silver and red, t...

The Samsung S9402 Ego is a dual SIM-enabled mobile phone which packs in a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and face recognition, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, 1 GB of internal storage and support for memory cards up 8 GB. The Ego is similar in look and feel to handets in Nokia's equally expen...

Sony Ericsson S302

Debuting as part of Sony Ericsson's new 'Snapshot' range of mobile phones is the Sony Ericsson S302. Marketed as a basic camera phone for those who want to take quick snaps on the go, the Sony Ericsson S302 sports a 2 Megapixel camera and incorporates some of the camera software features only no...

Release date: January 2009

Nokia N97

This massive capacity for storage is complemented by the N97's music playing capabilities; the same audio file support available on the N96 (i.e. AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+ as well as MP3 and WMA) is believed to be present and correct, as is full support for the Nokia Music Store.

The sam...

Sony Ericsson J132

If you're looking for a basic phone for making calls and texts, and aren't bothered about all the trimmings then the Sony Ericsson J132 may be for you. The quintessential no-frills device, the J132 is a dual band phone that comes with a simple organiser, 1.5 inch colour screen, FM Radio and virtu...
