1. Sony Ericsson K750i
The good: Sleek design; great display; user-friendly controls; speedy interface; excellent camera and music functions; hot-swappable memory expansion; solid battery life.
The bad: Flimsy upper row of soft keys; small joystick; fairly long loading times.
The bottom line: It doesn't have 3G or the kitchen sink, but the K750i packs just about everything you could demand from a high-end camera phone.
2. Motorola Razr V3
The good: Striking design; e-mail support; beautiful display; Bluetooth; speakerphone; world phone.
The bad: Video playback only; volume a bit low.
The bottom line: More than just a pretty face, the Motorola Razr V3 backs up its radical design with solid features and excellent performance.
3. Sony Ericsson W800i
The good: Admirable call quality; simple design; user-friendly interface; high-quality MP3 player with FM radio; Bluetooth and infrared port; speakerphone; 2-megapixel camera; world phone.
The bad: Slippery, small keypad buttons; small phone book; poorly located headset jack; users can't listen to music through Bluetooth headphones; accepts Sony's proprietary Memory Stick only.
The bottom line: Its design may not be particularly flashy, but the Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman phone elegantly combines its calling and multimedia features into a powerful device.
4. Nokia N70
The good: Classy design for a smart phone; 2-megapixel camera; RS-MMC expansion slot; strong productivity applications; FM tuner; multiple connectivity options.
The bad: Matte surface is slightly prone to scratches; minuscule keys; slow PC synchronization.
The bottom line: A worthy successor to the Nokia 6680, the N70 comes with a strong suite of PIM and multimedia applications that make it a good PDA-phone alternative for mobile professionals.
5. Nokia 6030
The good: Simple design; FM radio; affordable price; speakerphone function.
The bad: Minimal set of features; no connectivity (except GPRS); dual band.
The bottom line: There is little more to this phone besides the most basic handset features. It is essentially just a device for making calls with a touch of class in its look.
6. Nokia 6021
Based on the Series 40 user interface, the triband Nokia 6021 offers a minimalistic set of features that includes Bluetooth, push to talk (depending on the service provider), MMS, e-mail viewing, and an integrated xHTML browser. As with the other Nokia 60xx-series handsets, the key attraction of the phone is its affordable price.
7. Sony Ericsson W550i
Sporting the trademark bright orange exterior, the Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman phone is equipped with several functions similar to its candy-bar W800i predecessor, including dedicated music buttons, an FM tuner, video and still-image capture, and Bluetooth connectivity. Adding to the whole mobile entertainment experience are new features such as advanced 3D gaming support, interchangeable covers, and a whopping 256MB of onboard memory that lets you store more than 70 songs.
8. Motorola Razr V3 (Magenta)

9. Nokia 3230
The good: Huge display; speedy user interface; powerful speakers.
The bad: Photo-capture capabilities lag; uneven build; rigid menu soft keys.
The bottom line: The 3230 offers a reasonable choice for those looking for a decent smart phone, but its design blemishes its potential.
10. Samsung SGH-D600
The good: Decent 2-megapixel shots; TV output; Bluetooth printing with PictBridge; bright and colourful display; quadband.
The bad: Poor resolution when outputting video; slightly larger than the D500; display is a fingerprint magnet.
The bottom line: The D600 could be mistaken as the D500's identical twin, but under the hood Samsung has bumped up the camera resolution, increased the quality of the screen, and tweaked the phone's array of features, making a great phone even better. Video output, although innovative, will leave some disappointed.
