Advantages: pretty, can do just about anything
Disadvantages: expensive

Nokia have always been very favourite mobile phone producer. I deviated once from them in about 2001, but have otherwise been steadfastly loyal. I usually tend to go for the simple models. I'm not too bothered by gadgets, as long as I can call and text I'm happy. I was given this phone for my birthday and was a little scared to begin with. So many functions! However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was easy to use, like all other nokia ...
...what it cost!]. The Nokia N81has up to 8GB internal flash memory for music, games, video, images and applications. Apparently this is not all that great, but it's more than enough for my purposes. Talk time is up to 240 minutes and stand by time is up to 17 days [which I thought was amazing - I've only had about 3 days before! I do find it hard to remember to charge though as it needs it so infrequently]. Music playback time is up to 11.5 hours ... Read review

...It is very similar to Sony Ericssons previous offering (P990i) in many ways but has a much more sleek and stylish loiok about it. Below are the features that it includes that I personally have used and are able to comment on, please bear in mind that it includes other features also but if I have not used them, or have used them little then I will not comment on them as I cannot tell you of the full benefit they offer. Screen - The P1i offers a large ...
...with all of the best Sony Ericsson walkman phones the P1i comes with the top of the range music player including the equaliser setting to adjust bass boost or treble etc, and it also has an artwork area so if you load the album artwork onto the phone for your albums this will be displayed while the album is playing. The earphones that are supplied with the phone are not the best and can be quite loose but you can always upgrade and buy another pair ... Read review

Advantages: Loads of Features, Good Value

...my previous phone to a Nokia E65 in December 2007. My E65 is on a '3' network price plan for £25/month within which I get 750 free minutes or texts (mix & match). I was looking for a phone with good Internet access for an affordable price and at the time the E65 was a good mid-range choice. The Nokia N95 or Apple IPhone proving to be too expensive at the time. The E65 is packed with features including: - Web Browser - Wireless Networking Capability ...
...MSN Messenger - A range of games - Trial office software - Navigator for GPS service (seperate hardware required) - Printer Drivers - Adobe PDF - Zip Manager - 2mb camera The 2mb camera works well for a camera phone and produces good images. Although there is no built in flash facility which is a problem for photos taken at night. The web browser is relatively easy to use although the text is fairly small to read. The phone is installed with ... Read review

Advantages: Good audio capabilities, durable and attractive.
Disadvantages: Fiddly keys and the camera is a let-dpwn.

This phone is dependable and versatile. Combined with great looks and a slim build, it is one of the best packages I have come across. The Walkman MP3 player is exceptional, as are the earphones which come with it. The built-in speaker isn't fantastic, but is ok. The hands-free and speakerphone options are also perfect. The camera is only 2 megapixels, which by today's standards isn't that amazing. Also, there isn't a flash, which can prove annoying ...
...The keys are a bit fiddly, so those with clumsy thumbs might need some practice. The slim design is comfortable to hold, but I'm told by some hardcore texters that it is hard to hold with one hand. I've never had a problem though! The battery life is huge. I've had mine switched on for a week without any problems. I would recommend this phone! ... Read review

Advantages: It survives! Durable, easy to use, practical for everyday life
Disadvantages: Has very dated technology

What can i say? I LOVE this phone! Believe it or not i did not have a phone until the age of 12! This was my first of two phones i have had in my whole life. Admittedly now it has been somewhat outdated by new technology crammed into smaller handsets. It does not have a colour screen or play mp3's. But its durable, waterproof - mine had been in the washing machine four times and survived to tell the tale! - The buttons are easy to use and they are ...
...all the other numbers at the same time - a problem i particularly suffer from! I needed a phone "in case of emergencies". This phone went everywhere! It got washed, thrown about, beaten up, put in the fridge and generally abused as material goods do in everyday life, but it survived! The phones appearance, apart from being fairly large, is still quite modern, almost sporty, and maybe quite artistic and classy! Hence if your looking for a phone which ... Read review
