Product name	Apple iPhone 3GS	Nokia E72	Nokia N900	HTC Touch2
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8.3 Excellent	8.3 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take	7 Very good
Review Summary	The iPhone 3GS doesn't make the same grand leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.	Business users looking for a competent, no-nonsense smartphone will like the E72 for its breadth of features and stylish design.	More info	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.
