Sony Ericsson's latest music phone, announced just prior to this year's 3GSM. It packs in Memory Stick support for its digital music playback capabilities, it's a tiny 9.4 mm thick and supports 3G features like video calling.
For £30 per month, you get up to 900 minutes of free calls on the Flext 35 plan - which also includes £180 worth of extras like texts, video messages and net use.
The E65 comes with Wi-Fi capabilities meaning you can surf the web at wireless hotspots and double it up as a VoIP handset for making cheap and free calls across the internet. It also has a 2-megapixel camera.
It's £27 per month with the first three months half price (£13.50). That includes 1500 free minutes and 450 texts.
It's one of LG's latest fashion phones and is a sexy piece of design - even if it isn't really aimed at the guys. This is the newly-released 3G version of this head-turning LG phone, and comes with a 2-megapixel camera and 575MB of built-in memory (but no MicroSD card slot for expanding this).
It's £35 per month at 3. For that you get 750 inclusive free minutes and 150 free texts.

For £25 per month you get 150 minutes of free phone calls and 300 inclusive texts.

Phones 4 U is offering the N95 with a free printer, which is no bad thing. But it's really for the heavy phone users amongst you. For £75 per month you get 1500 minutes of free calls and 450 texts.

Another solid music phone with all-round capabilities - the E900 has a 2-megapixel camera, video recording capabilities and supports MP3 music playback.
