While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.

Mobile professionals who need a powerful but sleek messaging-centric smartphone will be well-served by the Nokia E71; just be prepared to pay a price.
The BlackBerry 8707g is reasonably zippy and easy-to-use, but lacks many common smartphone features like Wi-Fi and microSD memory expansion.
The JAMA 201 does represent a challenge to the smartphone market in that it brings an unlocked Windows Mobile 6 platform to market for only $489. It's just that in doing so, it makes so many compromises, and strips so much out of what we'd want from a real smartphone along the way as to render itself functionally redundant.
The 8110 isn't so much an updated model as its virtually identical to the previously released Pearl 8120, excluding the fact that the 8110 includes a GPS chipset, but is without Wi-Fi.
Even with GPS and its expected lower price-tag the P3470 will struggle without Wi-Fi or 3G data speeds.
HTC's Shift is yet another UMPC and another white elephant to add to the pile. By trying to be everything to everyone, the Shift succeeds at being nothing to anyone.
The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.
Market newcomer i-mate have recently released Australia's first HSUPA enabled smartphones in an exclusive deal with Telstra, the i-mate Ultimate 8502 and 9502. We had a look at the smaller sibling and were very impressed with what we found.
Decent performance, GPS and good connectivity are a plus for a handset with yesterday's heavy-set PDA aesthetics.
The ASUS M530w is a 3G, Windows Mobile PDA-phone with a price tag that'll have CIOs everywhere rejoicing.
HTC's Touch Dual is an excellent PDA smartphone that makes up for absent features with its pocket-friendly profile.
Want free Web surfing on an easy to use and speedy device? Then the PocketSurfer 2 is exactly not what you're looking for.
Dubbed the "Country Phone" Telstra's F165 sure looks the part. A rugged, rubberised candy-bar form factor with an extendable external antenna masks powerful HSDPA connectivity.
