MOBILE PHONE REVIEW

Samsung Solid review

		Product	Date	Editors' Rating	Members' Rating	Price
		Samsung Solid This is no smartphone, which may limit its appeal, but the Samsung Solid could fit the bill if you need a phone that can cope with dust, dirt, water and occasional drops.	01 May 2008	6.3		£90
		Samsung SGH-i640V With 3G but no Wi-Fi, the SGH-i640V will not have universal appeal. The defining features of this Windows Mobile smartphone (its rotating navigation wheel, touch buttons, large size and idiosyncratic user interface) will also polarise opinion.	01 Apr 2008	7.0		£119
		HTC S730 This update to the S710 adds little apart from 3G/HSDPA connectivity. In fact, the S730 is slightly heavier than its predecessor and delivers less battery life. Whether you go for the S730 will depend largely on how much you need 3G.	17 Jan 2008	7.5		£243
		Nokia E51 If the Nokia E51 had a front-facing camera for video calling we'd be hard pressed to find fault with it. Even so, it's an excellent pocket-friendly Symbian smartphone that's packed with an impressive array of features.	10 Dec 2007	8.0		£254.95
		BlackBerry Pearl 8120 If you're looking for a sleek and phone-like BlackBerry, the upgraded Pearl 8120 does a competent job. Wi-Fi support is welcome, but we'd prefer 3G connectivity as well.	19 Nov 2007	7.5
		Nokia E61i Nokia's E61i offers better build quality, a digital camera and a slimmer profile than its predecessor, the E61. Current users of the E61, however, may not be convinced that such tweaks are worth the upgrade.	22 Oct 2007	8.5		£335
		Palm Treo 500v The Treo 500v reworks the Windows Mobile user interface to generally good effect, but the absence of HSDPA, Wi-Fi and a front-facing camera may prove to be serious shortcomings. Overall though, it's a creditable addition both to the Windows Mobile ecosystem and to Palm’s stable.	28 Sep 2007	7.5
		BlackBerry 8820 The Wi-Fi-equipped BlackBerry 8820 is what its predecessor, the 8800, should have been. As implemented, though, Wi-Fi's value is somewhat limited as the 8820 doesn't include full SIP support for unfettered VoIP usage.	23 Aug 2007	8.0
		Nokia E90 Communicator It won’t appeal to everyone, but the E90 is a worthy successor in Nokia's Communicator line, despite the fact that there are now many keyboard-equipped mobile devices available.	20 Aug 2007	8.0		£553
