6. Nokia N97
£TBC, www.nokia.co.uk
PERFORMANCE The Finns’ new N-Series rocks touchscreen as well as a new sliding action that conceals a tasty QWERTY keyboard. With buckets of storage, social networking tools and a screen that begs to play video, this is a full-blown mobile computer.

8.Samsung INNOV8 i8510
£350, www.samsungmobile.co.uk
PERFORMANCE Gorgeous design, solid 8 megapixel camera, spacious on-board storage and heaps of photo tools make up for a few sluggish touchscreen gripes. INNOV8 is a camera phone that leans more towards ‘camera’ than ‘phone’.
LOVE Quality feel, tons of camera modes, lots of storage
HATE Unresponsive touchscreen, LED flash

9. Samsung Omnia i900
£402, www.samsungmobile.co.uk
PERFORMANCE Samsung’s other camera phone is more of an all-rounder with a decent 5 megapixel sensor on board. Touchscreen still needs work, but there’s a host of web, email and entertainment functions on offer here too.
LOVE Great pictures, with Xenon flash
HATE Terrible touchscreen

10. Motorola Z10
£293,  www.motorola.co.uk
PERFORMANCE A solidly built handset with a unique sliding action, this is a camera-phone for phone users. It’s only 3 megapixels, but it’s lightning quick to operate so you won’t miss the crucial moment. Don’t write it off, happy snappers.
LOVE Sturdy built quality and simple to operate
HATE Outclassed by 8 megapixel rivals
