Sony Ericsson V800

Sony Ericsson's V800 is a well-featured and user-friendly, if rather large, 3G phone. Vodafone's 3G service isn't especially compelling, although you can use the phone as a 3G modem for a notebook computer.

The rotating Motion Eye™ camera can be turned inwards to point at you during video calls, or can be turned outwards to record pictures or videos. With a resolution of 1.3 megapixels, this is one of the best cameras available in any current phone. The 262,000 colour internal screen is also the best quality display in any of the 3G phones currently on the market. The display is bright, even outdoors, and video playback is smooth. Combine these features with the full range of Vodafone's 3G content, plus an MP3 player, video recorder, Bluetooth™ wireless connectivity and a replaceable memory card, and the V800 is one of the best phones around.

One of the advantages of Vodafone's 3G service is that it allows you unrestricted access to the web, unlike 3, where you're restricted to 3's own content.

At 128g, the V800 has an average weight for a 3G mobile and its battery life compares favourably with the competition. It's a good all-rounder that should help to make 3G more accessible.
