Nokia 8800 Arte Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: It's Nokia's most exclusive phone to date, and you won't see many of these on the street. The 8800 Arte is crafted from premium materials, and should be considered as a luxury item, not a tech gadget or a workhorse phone. Still, it has 3G, a 3 megapixel camera, and a music player, as well as making you look good while you're making calls. But if you have to ask the price, then it's not the right phone for you!
Best buy: £430.61 from the Carphone Warehouse.

Review: January 2008. Updated October 2008.

The Nokia 8800 Arte is Nokia's latest in its premium range of phones. Following on from the 8800, 8800 Sirocco and 8600 Luna, it seems that the marketing guys at Nokia felt that £400 - £500 for a phone was no way nearly enough, so they have priced the 8800 Arte at close to double that. This is pushing prices towards Vertu levels (Nokia's ultra-exclusive brand), so the chances are you won't see many of these phones on the street

Nokia 6700 Classic Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: The 6700 Classic is a good phone. With smart looks, a quality metal finish and a high specification, we can see this becoming Nokia's top mid-range phone in the second half of 2009. Top features include a-GPS, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, a music player, an FM radio with RDS, Bluetooth, HSPA and a memory card. Things to watch out for include freezing / shutting down and breakable screens.
Best buy: *Free* with half-price line rental from Mobiles.co.uk (Silver) or free from Dialaphone (Silver) or Dialaphone (Black); or £179.90 on PAYG from Mobiles.co.uk (Silver) or £219 sim free direct from Nokia.

Nokia 6600 Fold Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: The Nokia 6600 Fold is a very attractive clamshell phone. With an invisible outer display that lights up when you tap it, and an electromagnetic opening mechanism that opens the fold automatically, it's definitely not a run of the mill phone, but is a little but special. You'll find that it includes the full range of features that you'd expect: a 2 megapixel camera, 3G video calling, a stereo music player, an FM radio, Bluetooth and support for memory cards up to 4GB. But the reliability of this phone is very poor, and we'd suggest that you avoid it.
Best buy: *Free* from Three.

Nokia 6500 Classic Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: The 6500 Classic is Nokia's thinnest phone so far, and is a stunningly beautiful phone too, with its polished metal casing. It's an easy to use phone that does just what most people want from a phone - make calls, take pictures and play music. Supplied with 1 Gbyte of memory and a stereo headset, it's already equipped to go. The one thing missing from this 3G phone is video calling. We have deducted marks because of poor battery life, reliability problems and the small keypad. Available in Black, Bronze, Pink or Silver.
Best buy: *Free* with half-price line rental from Mobiles.co.uk (Black); or £79.95 on PAYG from the Carphone Warehouse (Black or Bronze),

Review: October 2007. Updated September 2008.

Now here's a tasty-looking phone. Nokia have finally joined the ultra-thin revolution with the 6500 Classic phone. This is the slimmest Nokia phone released in the UK and, incredibly it's a 3G phone too! And doesn't it look nice, with its sleek aluminium casing ("individually polished", according to the Nokia blurb) and available in Black and Bronze. Let's pause a moment to enjoy the looks

Nokia 6303 Classic Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: Our favourite Nokia just got upgraded! The 6303 Classic is a modern reworking of the classic Nokia 6300. It's a no-nonsense easy-to-use handset with an attractive stainless steel finish and great features - a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, MP3 player, FM radio, 3.5mm audio jack, Nokia Maps, plenty of memory, Bluetooth, USB and good battery life. Available in Stainless Steel or Matt Black.
Best buy: *Free* with a free Compaq laptop from Dialaphone (Silver) or with free line rental from Mobiles.co.uk (Silver) or Mobiles.co.uk (Black); or £79.95 on PAYG from the Carphone Warehouse (Black or Silver), or £79.90 from Mobiles.co.uk (Black or Silver).

Review: June 2009.

The Nokia 6303 Classic is the upgrade for the Nokia 6300, which has been a bestseller for the past couple of years and one of our favourite Nokias of all-time. The 6303 Classic updates the technology and the styling of the 6300, fixing the 6300's problems of poor battery life and small memory.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: Nokia's first touchscreen phone is impressively good. It may not have quite the polished feel of the iPhone, but with so many good features, it's in many ways better than the iPhone. Headline features include the very high resolution touchscreen with 16 million colours, the 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, 3G video calling, an excellent web browser with support for Flash, the music player & FM radio, GPS positioning with Nokia Maps, WiFi, Bluetooth and an 8GB memory card. Available in black, red or blue.
Best buy: *Free* with half-price line rental or a free gift (PlayStation 3 or Dell laptop) from Mobiles.co.uk (Black) or with half-price line rental from Dialaphone (Black) or Dialaphone (Comes With Music Edition); or £149.95 on PAYG from the Carphone Warehouse (Red) or £195.70 on from Dialaphone.

Review: February 2009. Updated March 2009.

We've waited a heck of a long time for Nokia to catch up with Apple, LG and Samsung and launch a touchscreen phone. And here it is at last! It's a 3G smartphone, and belongs to Nokia's XpressMusic range.
