Description
The worlds first 4GB flash memory phone, the W950i from Sony Ericsson is an engineering marvel.

A great music playing interface, fantastic audio quality and a design that you will either really love or really hate.

The best part of the 950 is that it has a touch screen interface by which you can control the phone and your music. The only problems - it has no wifi and no camera either.

Description
When it was announced a year and half back, The Nokia N91 sent shivers down the spine of the competition. The N91 now has an upgraded 8GB hard drive and dedicated hard-coded buttons to control your music.

The delay in release has given the competition time to catch up but the N91 is still a formidable music phone.

All stainless steel and chrome, the design is slightly klunky and big.

The music software inside is brilliant, the sound quality perfect and the wi-fi is a great touch.
