Mobile Phones UK: Reviews & Best Buys

Samsung Omnia
The Samsung Omnia is the hottest phone of 2008. It's a touchscreen smartphone and, unlike the iPhone, it does everything that a high-spec phone ought to do. The Omnia has everything: a 5 megapixel camera, 3G video calling, a music player & FM radio, fast web browsing, the most memory ever seen on a mobile phone, and it connects to any device you can think of via Bluetooth, USB or Wi-Fi.

Best buy: *Free* with half-price line rental from Mobiles.co.uk (Black) or Dialaphone (White).

Nokia N96
Nokia's flagship smartphone just got better! Complete with 16 GB built-in memory, GPS satellite navigation, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, 3G video calling, and every other gadget you can think of! On the downside it's large, and battery life is poor.

Best buy: *Free* from Dialaphone (Black) or Mobiles.co.uk (Quartz).

Sony Ericsson C905
The C905 is an amazing phone, raising the bar in camera phone capabilities, with an 8.1 megapixel camera with a powerful xenon flash. In our opinion this is the best camera phone currently available. It's also equipped with GPS satnav, a media player, FM radio with RDS, 3G HSDPA with video calling, WiFi, and up to 8 GB of memory.

Sony Ericsson C902
Sony Ericsson's new Cyber-Shot phone lives up our high expectations. This is an outstandingly good camera phone with a 5 megapixel camera with face-detection autofocus, LED flash, and easy to use camera controls. It also packs in a music player, FM radio, 3G HSDPA, Bluetooth and loads of memory. In addition it's a superslim stylish handset available in Black or Red. We have deducted one star because of occasional freezing and crashing in early releases of this model.

Best buy: *Free* with half-price line rental from Dialaphone (Black) or Dialaphone (Red) or Mobiles.co.uk (Bronze).

LG Viewty KU990
Combining a touchscreen user interface with the latest technology, the Viewty ticks all the boxes: 5 megapixel camera, 3G video calling, high quality video camera, MP3 player, FM radio, HSDPA for broadband internet speeds and bags of memory. This is what the iPhone should have been!
