Review Summary

Business users looking for a competent, no-nonsense smartphone will like the E72 for its breadth of features and stylish design.

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.

The Samsung Star does a good job of scaling down touchscreen tech to fit in a pocket-sized, bargain-basement phone. A bright, responsive touchscreen ensures that basics like dialling and texting pose no problems, and the 3.2-megapixel camera is decent too. But, without 3G, the Star doesn't so much surf as paddle the Web.
