Nokia 7373
CNET Asia rating: 6 out of 10
The good: Eye-catching design; intuitive menus.
The bad: Poor music player; average battery life; awkward flick screen.
The bottom line: Nokia's 7373 is definitely a handset to turn heads. The rotating screen and classy styling mean it's attractive to look at, but delve under the finely manicured exterior and you'll find a pretty average handset which has a clunky music player and sub-standard battery life.

Prada Phone by LG
CNET Asia rating: 8 out of 10
The good: Attractive design; large color screen; attractive user interface; world clock; FM radio.
The bad: Texting can be awkward; lack of autofocus on the camera; glossy surfaces attract fingerprints and face grease.
The bottom line: For a first-time collaboration between LG and Prada, this phone is a significant achievement that will get you noticed whenever you use it. Indeed, this is one of the most attractive handsets that we have seen so far, and while it's not perfect in every area, it keeps LG firmly at the top of the fashion phone market.

Sony Ericsson W660i
First take
Last month Sony Ericsson announced an impressive nine new handsets and yet one month later it still has another handset to add to the list, the W660i. It's a candybar Walkman phone that looks like a combination between the company's W810i and K800i.

Sony Ericsson W880i
CNET Asia rating: 7.7 out of 10
The good: Slim, attractive design; solid build quality; bundled with a 1GB memory card; 3G; loud speakers; sharp image captures.
The bad: Camera lacks autofocus and flash; buttons are too small; no FM radio; tinny sound quality.
The bottom line: The W880i is slim, sexy and surprisingly packed with features. If you can look past its tiny keys and tinsy sound, this is one music-phone that's worth a closer look.

Sony Ericsson Z610i
First take
There's a distinctive Japanese "kei tai" (mobile phone) look-and-feel about Sony Ericsson's handsets. Possibly due to the part-Japanese heritage, the phone designs typically tend to be clean-looking and simple, with a good selection and implementation of features. The company's latest 3G clamshell, the Z610i, continues to show that distinction by using a glossy mirror finish on top of an OLED display on the front cover, while incorporating a premium feature set that includes a 2-megapixel camera, 2-inch 18-bit display, Bluetooth (A2DP) and additional storage expansion. The result? A stylishly designed handset that promises to offer more than just good looks.
