  • LG GT540 Optimus
    LG GT540 Optimus review Although it's good value, the sleek Optimus has an out-of-date version of Android, and LG hasn't done much to improve on the basic interface

  • RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700
    RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 review A smart, well-made phone with top business credentials, the Bold 9700 can be a pain to set up correctly, and doesn't offer a large screen or a wide variety of apps
    £350

  • Palm Pixi Plus
    Palm Pixi Plus review Smart design and the intuitive webOS interface are let down by awful battery life and a lack of decent apps, and at £30 per month it's also over-priced

  • Samsung Wave GT-S8500
    Samsung Wave GT-S8500 review A snappy processor, gorgeous AMOLED screen and great build quality can't make up for the poor widget interface and lack of decent apps
    £299

  • HTC Tattoo
    HTC Tattoo review A snappy little Android phone with a decent camera and HTC's Sense software, it's overshadowed by Samsung's better-value Galaxy Portal

    Samsung I5700 Galaxy Portal
    Samsung I5700 Galaxy Portal review Despite a lower spec camera and less storage, the Galaxy Portal is a better smartphone than the original Galaxy, and is available free on a £20-per-month contract

  • Vodafone 845
    Vodafone 845 review A great budget Android smartphone with limitless home screen customisation, the 845 has all the features of a more expensive smartphone - except a larger screen

  • Sony Ericsson U5i Vivaz
    Sony Ericsson U5i Vivaz review A beautiful design with a great camera, however the Symbian operating system creaks under the weight of Vodafone's branding
    £315

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
    Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 review A decent camera, but the customised interface isn't as snappy as other Snapdragon phones
    £456

  • HTC Desire
    HTC Desire review A beautiful and powerful phone, however the Desire can't rival the iPhone's build quality, and HTC's Sense software has some annoying quirks
    £387
