SIX OF THE BEST STYLE MOBILES
Given the current crop of mobiles on the market youll be hard pressed to pick one based on substance alone.
But considering the amount of time most handsets spend laying about on tables or pressed to your ear its essential that your ever-present phone oozes style.
Manufacturers have been pandering to our need for fashionable phones for some time and with the announcement of Apples new 3G iPhone it seems that form and function have finally found a place where geeks and fashionistas can meet.
Whet your appetite for technology - and keep the fashion police at bay - with this selection.
Music Machine - Sony W980i
With an 8GB memory onboard this top-pocketable mobile has enough space for an impressive collection of 8,000 tunes. It also boasts super high-speed internet access, a three megapixel snapper and FM transmitter all contained in a killer outfit.
Fresh Fruit - Apple iPhone 3G - from free on contract
The new iPhone is a slimmer, smarter and faster version of the original - so its fair to say that purchasers of Apples first foray into the mobile market may be feeling a little disgruntled. Existing contract holders are being offered upgrade deals so its worth checking out the website.
Snap Happier - Samsung Tocco - from free with contract
This highly tactile handset offers ultra-responsive menu surfing through the extra-large touchscreen. A gentle vibration feedback is given after each request, acting like a confirmation youve make an impact. It has a five megapixel camera sensor and the gorgeous case means itll rarely be in your pocket.
The Business - HTC Touch Diamond
HTCs super smartphone is on a par with the iPhone in the style stakes and may well give Apple something to feel sour about. While it contains a great camera, 3D artwork, touchscreen and GPS receiver, the 4GB memory may have some users scratching their heads in dismay.
Eastern Promise - LG Secret - from free on contract
If youre after a slider The Secret should be sneaking onto your shopping list. This 3G device - the latest in LGs Black Label range - has an array of fancy features, including impressive video capturing abilities. The cool blue neon navigation buttons mean it deserves a place on this list.
Smart And Stylish - Samsung Soul - from free on contract
This is the shining star of Samsungs high-end Ultra Edition range. The Soul is a fine-looking phone that uses a clever navigation panel to control all aspects of the handset. Each time you choose a particular function the panel takes on different powers, meaning this is one of the easiest one-hand use handsets out there.
