In the ever-changing mobile market, it can be hard to keep pace with the latest mobile phone trends. That's why we've put together this hub for our new mobile phone reviews: to give you the ideal jumping-on point for understanding the most current handsets around.
We cover a plethora of brands, including Apple, HTC, Nokia, Palm and Blackberry, and operating systems, such as Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7, so you should find something that piques your interest here.
In short, if you're seeking a new mobile phone, this is a great place to start.
Nokia C2-01
With the ink now dry on the contract between Nokia and Microsoft, the C2-01 is among the last of a dying breed: a Symbian OS-toting Nokia mobile. Oh, and it's sans touchscreen, too.
Yes, for a new mobile phone, it's decidedly old-school. That said, it's cheap, simple and devoid of anything more fancy than a 3G connection, which will suit minimalists. But can it really hold up in market dominated by smartphones?
HTC Incredible S
Incredible by name and only slightly less so by nature, this phone is HTC's entry into the underpopulated 4-inch touchscreen arena. In fact, it's among the first UK handsets to fill that niche, but more are on the horizon.
It's blessed with HTC's slick Sense UI and a high-quality screen, but is this latest mobile phone's foibles enough to warrant waiting for its incoming competitors, or the HTC Desire S?
Samsung Galaxy Ace
With a middle-of-the-range spec, 800Mhz processor and iPhone-aping looks, it may be hard to see why it's worth buying into the new Galaxy Ace. However, its Android 2.2 (Froyo) OS makes a considerable difference and is, in fact, this phone's ace in the hole.
It won't cost you the Earth either, so look deeper and you may find just what you were looking for.
Motorola Atrix
Smartphones have long been encroaching on the computing market, but the Atrix is annexing new turf. How? By including a built-in desktop OS and the ability to turn your phone into a so-called webtop computer.
What's more, the dual-core 1GHz processor and 1GB of RAM that come stuffed into the Atrix should mean a blisteringly fast smartphone experience too. Follow the link to find out more about the Atrix's brand of magic.
HTC Gratia
Beneath the Gratia's divisive outer shell lies a great core experience that belies its slow-on-paper 600MHz processor. That sweet and gooey centre is down to the magic combination of Android 2.2 and HTC Sense.
Upon it lie layers of extra functionality, but a few of these are soured by poor implementation. Read our review to see if the resulting flavour of smartphone is something you can stomach.
Nokia C5-03
A minor upgrade to last year'sC5, the C5-03 could be a good place to start if you're new to this whole smartphone thing. It's easy to use and has great battery life, plus the interface will be familiar to many.
That said, it's not the fastest or most powerful beast, so let our review help you weigh up if it's really what you need.
HTC 7 Pro
The only QWERTY keyboard in our latest mobile phone list, this is one of the first Windows Phone 7 mobiles to break cover since the OS's October launch died down, the HTC 7 Pro's headline feature is the slide-out keyboard that so many touchscreen smartphones eschew these days in favour of onscreen replacements.
While it didn't always push our buttons, the great screen, solid build and sound battery life mean it's still worth considering this able companion.
LG Optimus 2X
A dual-core Tegra 2 processor, Android 2.2 and 1080p video recording from an eight-megapixel camera should all combine to make the LG Optimus 2X a potential powerhouse, especially for video.
But how does this 4-inch WVGA-screened monolith really perform, and can it invalidate all that's come before? Our early review with the pre-release software might still have some questions unanswered, but early signs show this dual-core wonder might lack the grunt we were all hoping for.
Samsung Wave 2
The second incarnation of the Wave has now washed up on UK shores, bringing with it an updated version of Samsung's own Bada OS in the Wave 2.
The hardware it powers is undeniably great, with a 3.7-inch Super Clear LCD screen that lives up to its name and 1GHz of processing power. But can the OS ride that wave successfully, or is it a software wipe out?
Nokia C6-01
The C6-01 is sure to divide opinion. Some would call the UI comfortable and familiar; others would say it's old. It's hardly a slinky number either, and some cuts have been made to keep the price low.
On the flip side, it won't mean the gaping hole in your wallet that high-end mobiles are sure to inflict, and it can deliver much of the same functionality. Wrap your head around its intricacies by following the link below.
