Nokia N97
This chunky handset benefits from a slide-out keypad and Nokia's familiar Symbian software, but its touchscreen requires firm presses to make it work - making it feel sluggish next to the Hero and iPhone. An excellent 5MP camera is some compensation, but the Ovi app store has been dogged by technical problems. The N97 costs from £500 or free with 18-month contract, £45 a month on Vodafone. Verdict: A powerful workhorse, but it's no iPhone killer.
