Review Summary

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.

This is the one and only handset you should get if you have a PlayStation 3 at home. On its own, the Aino is a very capable multimedia feature phone. Who knows, you may be tempted to fork out money for a PS3 after that.

There are a lot of things we like about the N900, but just as many which annoy us. That said, it's still a very capable smartphone (if you call it that), but just not ready for primetime, yet.

HTC's first smartphone with WM6.5 ticks almost all the boxes for an entry-level smartphone, though it needs to be cheaper to differentiate itself from more highly-specced products.
