Review Summary

The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper performance. The iTunes Apps Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. We still have a few gripes, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model.

The Samsung Jet is an excellent touchscreen device that's priced competitively, yet packs a heap of features that would keep most people entertained for some time.

The Arena trounces the iPhone 3G in terms of features, but can't beat the latter when it comes to usability.

Nokia's first outing with the S60 5th Edition platform and unlimited music download service proves to be very compelling. It just needs to address the inconsistencies in the user interface.

The Omnia is a good alternative to the HTC Touch Diamond with a competitive price and a truckload of features, though Samsung does need to work on the interface to improve its consistency and usefulness.
