Question on Mobile Phones:

Can you recommend a good phone to me? I am thinking of changing my current Sony Ericsson Z530i. I need a phone that I can take photographs and listen to music with. What phones will you recommend? I am currently looking at the Sony Ericsson W760i.

Answer:

A lot of phones out there come with built-in cameras and music players, so unless you are more specific in your requirements, it is hard for me to recommend anything to you. In any case, what I suggest you do is to refer to our monthly Top 10 charts and also the list of Editors' Choice products. That should give you a rough gauge of which are the more popular handsets right now and which are the ones that we really like.

What you should be looking out for is a phone that has an autofocus camera with built-in LED/Xenon flash and onboard music player. The latter is kind of a moot point since even the most basic of phones these days are capable of playing at least MP3 files. To get you started on your search for camera-phones, you can look at Sony Ericsson's Cyber-shot series or Nokia's Nseries handsets.
