Overview

Apple iPhone 3G

Editors rating
Rating: 8.9
Verdict

Apple has taken the iPhone to the next level and added some excellent features, including 3G/HSDPA, GPS and support for Microsoft Exchange email. You still can't send MMS and there's only a 2-megapixel camera, but overall it's a wonderful experience.

Typical price

£ 159

Nokia E63

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
