Now this little beauty is a sight for sore eyes! It’s the Nokia X9 – or rather, some leaked pics of the Nokia X9, which hasn’t exactly been confirmed by Nokia, but which certainly looks like the real deal.

Nokia’s X-Series range of phones currently comprises the Nokia X3 and X6, and as the letter implies, is all about the Xperience (yeh, I know, it sucks, and is a little too close to Sony Ericsson’s Xperia range!)

What this means is that you get a phone that’s focused primarily on entertainment. You can therefore expect a strong set of multimedia features and social network features aplenty.

Fortunately, we’ve got hold of some X9 specs, and it looks like it certainly won’t disappoint.

This rather large beauty is the HTC HD3, a huge new smartphone from HTC that doesn’t just follow on from the HTC HD2, it blows it and every other smartphone on the market clean out of the water!

The HD3 looks set to come with Windows Phone 7 Series, which is a big deal in itself. But it’s the amazing list of features that HTC have managed to cram into the HD3 that is so jaw dropping.

Seriously, think of any hardware feature or spec you’d like to see in your dream phone, and the HD3 has it – in spades! Add to that the tasty novelty of being one of the first Windows Phone 7 Series phones, and the HD3 looks set to be one of the most anticipated phones of the year.

Don’t believe me? Check out the HTC HD3’s specifications after the jump.

The LG GD900 Crystal in this review is a curious phone as it comprises two touchscreens in one: the standard touchscreen you’d expect to find; and another one on the keypad.

But then the keypad is also curious: it’s completely clear. Crystal clear, in fact, hence the name!

Combine all this curiosity with LG’s great S-Class user interface and you have a superb touchscreen phone that’s choc full of novelty, and which really knows how to stand out from the crowd.

At least, that’s how it appears on the surface – is it actually any good though? Read our LG GD900 Crystal review to find out.

Leaked pictures of LG’s new LG Arena Maxx have been doing the rounds for some time now, but the new and super-fast phone from LG has finally debuted in its native South Korea.

The LG-LU9400 Arena Maxx is a touchscreen smartphone featuring LG’s own S-Class user interface and Qualcomm’s blisteringly fast 1GHz Snapdragon processor.

With a 3.5″ touchscreen display, 5 megapixel camera, 720 HD video recording, DivX video, mobile TV, GPS and WiFi (phew!), the LG Arena Max certainly packs a powerful punch.

No details yet on whether it’s heading for the UK or not, but there’s nothing to stop it, as it’s perfectly capable of working with the UK’s mobile networks.

Looks pretty special, so let’s hope so!

Why an HTC Tattoo review, you might ask? Isn’t it just yet another budget Android phone? Well, technically yes – at least in the fact that it’s certainly a budget Android phone, which is perfect if you’re looking to get in on the Android action without paying a fortune.

But “just another” budget Android phone? Nope, not a bit of it! The HTC Tattoo might not be expensive, but that doesn’t mean it can’t come with some killer HTC polish.

The Nokia C5 has just been announced by Nokia, heralding the dawn of a new age in mobile phones, and a new range to go with it – the C-Series.

At first glance, the C5 doesn’t seem like it’s the dawn of anything particularly exciting. Its features are average, with a 3.2 megapixel camera, aGPS, 2.2″ display, Symbian S60 and Ovi Maps.

So far so dull.

What is new, though, is that the C5 is a budget phone – just 135 Euros unlocked will get you all that, plus a range of social media apps as well.

It’s therefore the first time that high-end features such as Symbian S60, GPS and social media apps have reached their way to the lower reaches of the mobile phone food chain, pushing the functionality of budget phones up to the levels of Nokia’s N-Series just a few short years ago.

Hmmm, that certainly seems like the dawn of something!

Time now for a Motorola Milestone review. The Motorola Milestone was released late 2009 in the US, where it was called the Motorola Droid and hailed as the saviour of Motorola.

It’s recently been launched in the UK as the Milestone, and is Motorola’s attempt to convince the world that it really can make great phones again – in this case, a great Android 2.1 device designed to take on the wealth of super-smart phones that are on the market.

The question is, though – can it? Does the Milestone offer enough to make it better than its rivals from the likes of HTC, Samsung, Palm, and the iPhone? Does it have a better interface, better features, and a better all round user interface, and is it more than just another Android phone?

In short, is the Milestone worthy of your cash?!

Let’s find out with our Motorola Milestone review…

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz has been one of the highlights of the year – and its only February! The Vivaz is a fantastic new 8.1 megapixel camera phone that can shoot superb video in HD, and comes with a tonne of features not found on other camera phones that ensures the pictures you take are as good as they would be from a dedicated digital camera.

The Vivaz is one of the most eagerly awaited phones of 2010 – but you can ensure you’re the first to get your hands on it by preordering it with Vodafone.

A Nokia insider has managed to smuggle out a video showing details of the forthcoming Noia X10, a new unannounced phone that wil be the first to feature Nokia’s new Symbian^3 OS.

Nokia were surprisingly quiet during MWC 2010 – in fact, disappointingly so – and so any hint of a new mobile phone from the company is being welcomed with open arms by a Nokia fan base desperate to see some innovation from the Finnish company to take on the multitude of superphones that were launched in Barcelona last week.

Alas, the new X10 may not be that phone. See the video after the jump to see what I mean.
