Customer Phone Reviews
Nokia N86 8MP Review (See latest Nokia N86 8MP Deals)
"I only got this phone yesterday and love it already. as a nokia owner for years i've struggled a bit to get my head round this phone as it's totally different in every way, however i think with a little patience all will be fine. it's my fault for being set in my ways and not a reflection on this stunning piece of kit. if anyone were to ask me if they should buy one of these, i'd say yes immediately!"KL, Lincolnshire, 30/06/2009

Nokia 3600 Slide Review (See latest Nokia 3600 Slide Deals)
"A compact, easy to use phone with all the features I am likely to need. It looks good and the slide is smooth and efficient. The graphics are bright and the sound is clear with a loudspeaker function as well. This is an ideal phone without too many gadgets and gizmos. However it does have maps and this is really useful as the phone can be converted to a sat nav function as well. Excellent value considering the deal we got with Mobiles.co. My husband and son liked my phone so much they too have now got the Nokia 3600."GP, Coventry, 07/05/2009

Sony Ericsson F305 Review (See latest Sony Ericsson F305 Deals)
"Sleek, stylish and superb... The three perfect words to describe this phone. The Sony ericsson C902 is the revamped version of the k850i; and is part of the cyber-shot range. Its light and thin, yet sturdy physique is home to a 5 Megapixel camera which is revealed by pulling out one edge of the phone. When this is done, the outer edge of the screen lights up in blue with numerous touch sensitive buttons; each of which provide easy and quick access to all of the cameras features. These include such things as auto-focus, multi-shot (able to take 10 photos within a time set by you) and flash. Along with taking excellent quality photos, its video camera makes this phone a worthy holder of the cyber-shot title. "SC, Belfast, 02/04/2009

Pink Samsung Tobi Review (See latest Pink Samsung Tobi Deals)
"Very classy looking phone - features seem pretty good - I always felt that Samsung was more about looks rather then product quality and although the quality of this phone is better then previous ones it still has very poor volume - even turned full it's very low and slightly tiny!!"GL, Lincolnshire, 25/02/2009

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 Review (See latest Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 Deals)

HTC Touch HD Review (See latest HTC Touch HD Deals)
"With regards to its Touch screen, HTC have upped their game and made a system that is fast and responsive but if, like me, you are a newbie at using touch screen phones it may take a bit of getting used to. I found search for the Touch HD on Youtube and watching how more experienced people used theirs very helpful. All in all a superb high quality phone that looks as good as it works."DP, GB, 12/11/2008
LG Renoir Review (See latest LG Renoir Deals)
"The LG Renoir has all the features you would expect from LG and can easily take on the likes of a iPhone or Nokia, the touch screen is responsive and users can make many selections and alterations to the look of the display. the camera is equally as good as a Sony Cybershot phone and far superior to a Nokia, all in all i would recommend this LG to others and is a great improvement on previous LG phones."SJ, GB, 18/11/2008
Sony Ericsson T303 Review (See latest Sony Ericsson T303 Deals)
"The Sony Ericsson T303 is a simple to use, no nonsense mobile phone. I was fed up of the latest generation mobile phones crashing on me all the time, and wanted to go back to a phone which does what it says on the tin. This phone does exactly that."RS, Warwickshire, 17/11/2008
Sony Ericsson W902 Review (See latest Sony Ericsson W902 Deals)
"W902 is a good overall package from Sony with solid build quality and easy to use functionality. Decent walkman (8GB of memory) and& 5 MegaPixel camera to boot. Location of headphone socket though makes purchase of wireless headset a must. Had my new gadget within 24 hours no hassle!"BH, GB, 27/10/2008
Nokia 6600 Slide Review (See latest Nokia 6600 Slide Deals)
"The first thing most people tend to judge a mobile phone by is its build quality. In this respect the 6600 Slide is definitely going to win over a lot of people as soon as they get their hands on it. The weight and feel of the phone is perfect. With a smooth rounded construction made from luxurious metals and with a nice rounded screen, the phone fits in your hand comfortably and slides up effortlessly. Though a small phone (in my hands at least), Nokia have still managed to keep the keypad ample enough to use with ease without fear of hitting the wrong button or multiple buttons at a time.

Samsung Omnia 8GB Review (See latest Samsung Omnia 8GB Deals)
"I have got to say the Samsung Omnia is the best phone ever no matter what you need it for. I was looking for a touch-screen phone with Wi-Fi and the Omnia fitted the spec. The Samsung menu on there is brilliant and the windows mobile feature makes it even more easy to use and sync with a computer."VR, GB, 16/09/2008
Samsung i8510 8GB Review (See latest Samsung i8510 8GB Deals)
"At Mobiles.co.uk we have had the privilege of a hands-on play test with the Samsung i8510 and can say without hesitation that Samsung have set a new benchmark for mobile phones. The 8.0 Megapixel camera is the standout feature and is without question the best camera phone I have ever seen or used, producing some stunning images with great detail and clarity. But the i8510 does not disappoint in other areas. Great connectivity options with HSDPA mobile internet, an excellent web browser to accompany this, Wi-Fi and the Symbian operating platform make the i8510 a perfect internet tool. And for those interested in multimedia, 8 GB of memory expandable with a memory card, MP3/MPEG4 and DivX support plus GPS with support for Geotagging make the i8510 a truly versatile device and one which future phones will be judged against. Full i8510 review here"DM, Watford, 22/08/2008

Nokia N78 Review (See latest Nokia N78 Deals)
"The N78 was an upgrade from my old N73, and I love it. The FM transmitter works perfectly and is a great feature to have on a phone. The GPS and Sat Nav are spot on and the best bit is that if you forget where you took a photo the phone will tell you by pinning a location on a map. What can I say other than brilliant, stylish and easy to use."JF, Southampton, 23/07/2008

LG KG800 Chocolate Review (See latest LG KG800 Chocolate Deals)

Blue Samsung U600 Review (See latest Blue Samsung U600 Deals)
"This phone is visually pleasing and very easy to navigate. The key are a little hard to get used to and you have to be quite dexterous when it comes to texting. Overall though, I am very happy with this purchase."LG, Port Glasgow, 22/07/2008
Samsung J700 Review (See latest Samsung J700 Deals)
"I previously had a Samsung U600 and ordered another Samsung as I had been so pleased with my last phone. I find the Samsung format easy to navigate and the icons make sense. The graphics on the J700 are less good than the U600 as they appear to be more fuzzy. I would also like more options on ringtones as there's only one - not everyone wants to pay for a download. In all other respects the phone is easy to use. I like the sliding style which avoids having to lock the keypad. I liked the light touch keypad on the U600 better than that of the J700 which requires a more positive touch to register the number. The FM radio, bluetooth etc work fine."JA, Essex, 22/07/2008
Nokia N95 Review (See latest Nokia N95 Deals)
"I would just like to say that the nokia n95 I have just purchased is fantastic. I mainly use my mobile for photos and the picture quality is excellent due to the 5 mega pixels that this phone has to offer. This mobile is so easy to use with all the info you want at the touch of a button. I can definitely say that I will be staying with nokia now as they are streets ahead of other mobile brands. Many thanks for a great phone."SS, London, 22/07/2008
