Orange Dolphin 40 offers 900 minutes and unlimited texts. Racoon 40 gives you 900 minutes, 500 texts and unlimited landline calls. With all plans you can add mobile internet for an extra £5 per month.

The HTC Touch HD has a high-res, 3.8 inch, touchscreen display. This amazingly large screen alongside a 5 megapixel camera, standard 3.5mm headphone jack, integrated GPS, FM Radio and HSDPA internet capabilities give the Touch HD a compelling list of multimedia specifications. The intuitive TouchFLO 3D interface makes browsing the web a joy. Double tap the screen and the Opera browser zooms in smoothly to your chosen web page. Then simply swipe across the screen with your finger to scroll around web pages quickly and effortlessly.

Listening to music using HTC’s music player is a breeze. The intuitive touch screen controls work equally as well when scrolling around the inbuilt, GPS powered Google Maps. Measuring just 12mm, the Touch HD is thin for a powerful Windows mobile device. This is due to the omission of a slide out QWERTY keyboard. With its large screen and advanced multimedia capabilities the Touch HD will no doubt become a best-selling web browsing, email, office, movie and music device.

The HTC Magic brings you everything you love about the internet, exactly how you want it. It will keep you entertained, up to date and in touch, wherever you are. Exclusive to Vodafone, the HTC Magic is the second mobile to run on the Android OS. The first was the T-Mobile G1. One of the most notable differences between the Magic and the G1 is the lack of a QWERTY keyboard. This makes the Magic slimmer, lighter and more pocket-friendly.

The 3.2 inch touchscreen interface is also an improvement over the G1, with plenty of little tweaks in the latest Cupcake incarnation of the Android OS. The Magic has an accelerometer for autorotation and the screen has the option of handwriting recognition or the onscreen QWERTY keyboard. The trackball makes it easy to navigate around menus and scroll though messages. It’s not to everyone’s liking and HTC have removed the trackball from their new Touch Diamond 2; however it’s not a drawback to the high powered performance of this phone.

As we get into what the HTC Magic can do, it becomes very impressive. The Android OS has Gmail, Google maps – including StreetView and YouTube all just a touch away. The HTC Magic is a practical business phone. It’s equipped with all the standard document viewers and with Wi-fi, Bluetooth and HSPDA (with download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps) this is a very useful device to have outside the office. The HTC Magic is a step up from the G1 and is probably going to be the best Android phone available for a while.

I’ve just had word that the Nokia E75 has now arrived in stock. It’s free on Orange 12 month contracts with cash back. Some good deals.

The Nokia E75 is a high-end, high quality E-series smartphone with a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The E75 is a compromise between utility and size. It is not as slender as the Nokia E55, nor as slim as the E71 – with which it shares a similar specification and could be considered a direct alternative – but the E75 packs in an all-important full QWERTY keyboard. Considering this, it’s relatively slim and compact, just 14.4mm thick. The steel plated back of the phone oozes quality and style. Sadly this doesn’t continue around to the front of the phone, which is the same glossy plastic found on the Nokia N85 and N96 and may not be to everyone’s taste. The slide out keyboard is in a different class though, it is framed with chrome, very solid and is a joy to use.

The Nokia E75 undoubtedly appeals to professionals on the move, with its business-oriented software and Symbian S60 OS. The 2.4 inch screen is among the best on the market and remains legible in direct sunlight. There are a whole host of email clients supported. With 3G, HSDPA and Wi-Fi, this is a very handy device to have outside of the office. GPS is also present and a 4GB memory card is included.

Symbian S60 Feature Pack 2 is included, which means numerous software updates, making the E75 even better than the class-leading E71 when it comes to messaging and organisation. The camera and multimedia functions are not the main features of this phone; however they are still reasonable with a decent music and video player, FM radio and a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash.

HTC’s Touch Diamond2 is now available and free on O2. Stock is expected tomorrow. Some pre-order deals have also emerged on Orange. We’ve decided not to show these deals yet as the Touch Diamond2 has not been approved on Orange and orders cannot be fulfilled.

Deals on O2 start at £35 per month on an 18m contract or £30 per month on a 24m contract. Cash back and free gifts are available on some tariffs, including a free Jawbone headset, a Nintendo Dsi or automatic cash back.

The HTC Touch Diamond2 has a sleek, professional look which will draw positive attention to itself in any arena. The most striking feature is its high resolution WVGA 480×800 pixel, 3.2 inch, TFT resistive touchscreen which will allow the user to fully exploit the impressive capabilities of the phone.

Another obvious design improvement to its Touch Diamond predecessor is the exclusion of its trackball navigation and the inclusion of touch sensitive zoom control which allows for magnification of photos, web pages, documents and texts. The included accelerometer is also a quirky addition. The phone comes with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional which incorporates pocket Office, comprising Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and PDF view. All of these features help make the device a very desirable prospect in the business marketplace.

The Touch Diamond2 comes bundled with a very respectable 5 megapixel camera which has auto focus for good quality image capture. As expected with most Smartphone’s the Diamond2 has Wi-fi, HSPDA (up to 7.2 Mbps), GPS and Bluetooth. Other features include the TouchFLO finger swipe navigation, touch sensitive navigation controls, handwriting recognition, a very good web browser, FM radio with RDS, a VGA videocall camera, the list goes on and on!

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has a 3.2 inch touchscreen and the latest S60 interface, especially adapted for touch control. As the XpressMusic name suggests, this is a fantastic music phone. Supporting microSD cards up to 16GB there’s plenty of storage for music and video files. There’s an accelerometer, a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, FM radio and a TV out port for viewing videos or playing the built-in games on your big screen.

The camera on the Nokia 5800 has 3.2 megapixels and a dual LED flash. This might not sound impressive but it has a high quality Carl Zeiss and that makes all the difference. Photographs are noticeably better compared to those taken with an iPhone or with an older generation cameraphone. The built-in web browser is excellent. The screen renders quickly and web pages can be dragged with a finger swipe or zoomed with a double tap on the screen.

The Nokia 5800 has 3G, HSDPA and Wi-Fi. There’s also a built-in GPS receiver and a special touchscreen version of Nokia Maps is pre-installed. Don’t forget it’s also a phone! The on-screen numeric keypad makes dialling easy and there’s a choice of on-screen QWERTY keyboards or handwriting recognition for text input.
