| Following the success of its breakthrough handset, the RAZR V3 (a handset that continues to sell well even today), Motorola has launched its follow-up, the RAZR 2 V8.Even the packaging of the V8 gives you the feeling you're about to experience a well-groomed handset. Once you've pulled the golden ribbon, the V8's box transforms, before popping up to reveal the shiny handset in all its glory.

| Motorola's W series of handsets concentrates on the entry to mid-level range of the market, steering clear of the style ambitions of its RAZR handsets. Not everyone demands the latest look, and some prefer a basic phone to make and receive calls and texts. The W range caters for these mobile punters, although Motorola hasn't ditched the style angle altogether. |

| When the Motorola SLVR L7 launched in early 2005, its 11.5mm-thick profile ranked as the thinnest candybar around. But, like the RAZR V3, it was all about fashion over features. The RAZR V3 got a welcome upgrade in the guise of the V3i and now it's the turn of the SLVR L7 with the new L7e. |

| Last year’s 6500 came in two versions, the slender Classic and the chunkier Slide. Add 100 to the number and check out this year’s model – not quite size zero but the Slide has certainly been on a diet. And it’s still a contender for the catwalk – black is the new black. It’ll turn heads not only because of its compact size but also because of its eye-catching glossy steel skin. It feels good because of the metal, too, even down to the aluminium direction pad, and it’s nice to use because the slide mechanism is skilfully balanced and the compact keys are just big enough to use. |

| With a SIM-free price tag of almost £700, the Nokia 8800 Arte really needs to pull out all the stops, and quite rightly, everything in the handset’s package screams class, from the included accessories to the packaging. |

| If you’re looking for a mobile phone, forget the N810, because the only calls you can make are over the internet. If, however, you are happy to consider a Wi-Fi-enabled internet browser with a large 4.13-inch display, GPS-assisted sat nav and maps, 2GB of built-in multimedia storage, and a full QWERTY keypad for email and messaging, then this is your baby. |

| Nokia's Prism phones are aimed at the design-conscious and there's no denying that they're stylish and eye-catching. Nokia used to catch a lot of criticism for keypads that were tricksy, complicated and weirdly laid out. That hasn't been the Finnish company's style for some time now, but both these handsets have triangular keys. It's a long way from the circular and zig-zag designs of the past, but will the current layouts be too hard to dial? |

| It's heavier than the 7500, slimmer, more discreet-looking and altogether a classier affair. A touch taller, the same width but much thinner than the 7500, the 7900 is the 7500's cuter, catwalk-strutting sibling. It's weighted well so it feels good to hold. The demure diamond pattern on the front and back of the phone looks good and because the casing is made of matt- painted aluminium rather than plastic, it's a more elegant effect - and accounts for the extra weight. |

| Nokia's N82 is an N-series phone with a five megapixel camera and a chassis full of features that will compete with the big boys. But is it too ugly to love? |

| The Nokia 6500 Slide makes up one half of a new series of Nokia handsets. And although we're perplexed by the range, we've fallen hook, line and sinker for the handset |
