Lightest Phones

A very thin and stylish 3G music phone. Lots of features - music player, video player and camera. You might find the keys too close together and fiddly to use.

Decent-enough music phone, nothing spectacular. Music player is fine, as is the radio and basic features. No 3G, and a small 2-inch screen.

Budget EDGE tri-band Walkman music phone. The W350i is Sony Ericsson's first flip phone. Very light (75g) and thin (11 mm). Available in 4 trendy colours.

Good quality 3G, HSDPA music phone with 3.2 MP camera. The W910i is another music phone with HSDPA, but only has a 2 MP camera.

Slider phone with 3.2 MP camera. The touch-sensitive keys are naff. The Samsung G600, G800 and latest slider phones are better.

Slim, lightweight fashion phone with 1 GB memory and music player. The small screen will be a turn-off for many - 1.4-inches is just too small.

Cheap Sony Ericsson fashion phone with very few features. 1.3 MP camera, 1.8 inch screen, dual-band, GPRS, 10 MB phone memory, no memory card slot. Lightweight. Looks pretty.

Unique mobile phone design. Made of plastic and "adorned with geometric patterns, bevelled surfaces and vibrant colour effects" and "turn heads with an iconic look". A fashion phone.

A yummy fashion phone. Not many features, and 128 MB maximum memory capability limits its use as a music phone. If you want a good-looking fashion phone for an excellent price - just £34.95 on PAYG, the LG Chocolate is worth a look.

Cheap lightweight fashion phone in 3 bright funky colours. Minimal feature set, but at just £29.99, it's a pretty good deal. This phone would easily win a "cute phone of the year" award.

Stylish fashion phone with 3-inch touchscreen. Plastic black casing feels a little cheap. No 3G. Consider the LG Viewty - similar design, better features.

A fine looking fashion phone. Thin and the size of a credit card, it easily slips into a pocket. Average features.

An excellent cheap PAYG Sony Ericsson Walkman music phone. Buy a W200i for under £30. Super bargain.

Slider phone with 3.2 MP camera and Dynamic Adaptive Control Pad (Dacp). Available SIM-free, the Samsung E950 is low-end mid-range phone.

Excellent value 3G phone. Make Skype phone calls. Basic feature set, but easy to use and cheap to buy.

Slim, lightweight (just 86 g) quad-band Walkman slider phone with good features. 3G, HSDPA, 2 MP camera, Walkman player...

Cute shiny fashionable music phone with a nifty touch-sensitive OLED external display. Something different to show your friends. Buy for less than £80 on PAYG. Tasty.

Near Field Communication (NFC) phone - Nokia's second NFC phone. Use the phone like a smartcard - mobile ticketing, mobile payments, smart posters and more. Quad-band, 2 MP camera, FM visual radio, 3G, 2-inch screen, up to 4 GB micorSD memory card.

Basic 3G phone. A little old (July 2006), but still worth a look if you're after a low-cost 3G phone. The 2 MP camera isn't very good.

Lightweight Symbian OS 9.3 smartphone with 5 MP Xenon flash camera, Assisted GPS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA. Small screen, no Wi-Fi. Good value handset.
