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...

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...

Like most Sony Ericsson offering, the G705 is a conservative looking phone, but one that manages to pack a few good punches. The slide format is a slight departure for the brand, allowing for a largish 2.4” screen for viewing web pages and emails with greater clarity. HSDPA, Wi-Fi, ...

The phrase "new handset from Motorola" has often been accompanied by groans of boredom and howls of derision, but the American giant will be hoping that this all changes with the all new Motozine ZN5. Looks wise the ZN5 ditches the clamshell model that has almost become a Motor...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.
