Product name	Nokia N81	Sony Ericsson Satio	Nokia N900	HTC Hero
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7 Very good	8 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take	8 Excellent
Review Summary	We love the Nokia N81's mammoth 8GB of storage space and excellent music and gaming features. However, we wish it wasn't so bulky and that it had a better touch wheel. As a result it's not really the revolutionary multimedia handset that we were hoping for.	The Satio delivers great pictures and comes with many high-end features, but the inconsistent user interface of the platform mars the overall experience of the device.	More info	A combination of good design and a fully customizable user interface make the Hero a great smartphone. A boon for the Android platform still in its infancy.
