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.

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.

Read our full HTC Tattoo review after the jump to discover some of the tricks the Tattoo has up its sleeve.

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…

Those lovely people at e2Save have been doing some stellar deal making again, and have somehow managed to persuade T-Mobile to part with an LG Cookie for free, with a monthly contract at an unbelievable 99p a month. And without any exaggeration, that’s literally all you’ll pay – just 99p a month, with 300 mins and unlimited text thrown in!

The Cookie normally sells for £25 per month, so this is a monstrous bargain!

You can buy it in black or pink for this price by clicking here, so whether you want it as a main phone, a second phone, or a gift for your boyfriend, girlfriend, brother, sister – whoever! – it’s the perfect phone at the perfect price!

You’d better be quick, though, as it’s an online-only deal that won’t last for ever.

I reviewed the LG Cookie personally last year, and gave it 9/10. Now it’s only 99p, it simply has to score 10/10. A true bargain if ever there was one!

You’ve seen the TV ad – now read the Samsung Jet review!

The ad bangs on a lot about how you don’t have enough time in the day, and how the Jet can save you time by being super fast, super-responsive, and super useful.

Is any of it true? Is the Jet as fast as Samsung claim, and is it a phone worth buying?

Read on for our full Samsung Jet review.

Never one to miss a bandwagon, LG have also released a mini phone in the form of the unsurprisingly-named LG Mini. Joining the likes of HTC and Sony Ericsson, both of whom also released a new mini phone this week, the LG Mini is the smallest 3.2″ full touchscreen phone available.

As you’d expect fromn LG, it’s not exactly short of features either.

After the fugliness of the Huawei U8300, it’s nice to see some genuinely beautiful news phones, such as this pair of Lumigons. The Lumigon S1 (left) and T1 are new Android 2.1 devices that not only feature some pretty capable hardware, they’ve also been designed with cutting edge style in mind.

Lumigon are a Scandinavian company, and the intriguing design reflects the phone’s origins (think Bang & Olufsen rather than Ikea!)

It’s not all about design, though. They’ve also powered their phones with 720p video support, HDMI out, and TV remote control. There’s even an HDMI deskstation accessory, which will let you connect your phone to your TV and a Bluetooth keyboard.

Lumigon founder Lars Gravesen also let slip some exciting news about its forthcoming phone, the E1.

“The E1 is the most beautiful phone I have ever seen during my entire 10 year career in mobile business…featuring a unique navigation system and a shape never experienced in mobile phones” he said.

Sweet! Let’s just hope he’s not over-hyping things a tad!

What’s that coming over the hill, is it a Huawei…

Yes, it certainly is. To be more precise, it’s the Huawei U8100, officially the world’s ugliest phone! Like the other three Huaweis on show here, it’s based on Android and features a new Huawei user interface, which apparently they’ve spent rather more on than the design of the outside of this fugly phone!

Read on after the jump for ore images (if you can bear them!) and more Huawei Android phones.

If you thought the HTC Legend was good, wait until you see the HTC Desire. Sporting the same internals as the Google Nexus One (i.e. a 1GHz Snapdrgaon CPU, 3.7″ AMOLED display, 5 megapixel camera, and all the usual sensors, GPS, WiFi and HSDPA gloriousness you’d expect from an Android device – oh, and Android 2.1), the HTC Desire adds to all this, er, desirability with its newly updated Sense UI.

Oh, and it also throws Flash 10.1 into the mix as well. Mmmmmm :)

HTC have officially unveiled the HTC Legend smartphone at MWC 2010 this week. Although the Legend has been leaked a few times in the past few months, the new successor to the HTC Hero still managed to sneak through the odd surprise – principally in its beautiful aluminium-strewn looks.

If this isn’t the best looking smartphone on the market I don’t know what is!

Read on for all the details and more photos of the HTC Legend after the the jump.
