Nokia has announced three new phones in its 'affordable' category, the Nokia 2730 classic, Nokia 2720 fold and Nokia 7020, but with the added bonus of the former being its cheapest 3G model as well.

While the Finnish company often releases low cost handsets to supply emerging markets and those interested in just having a phone with no bells and whistles, the €80 (£71) price tag of the 3G-enabled 2730 is a big step for a top-tier manufacturer.

Other handsets have been made for cheaper, especially in the Asian markets, as well as other legacy 3G

The T3-designed 01 Phone has received a considerable amount of attention from readers, with hundreds of thousands of page views, hundreds of emails and comments, and even several phone calls from interested readers wanting to buy one.

It seems that a Chinese website got a little carried away with their enthusiasm of our prototype mobile phone, with a reader in Adelaide, Australia, contacting us last week to warn of Cnuncn.com's misleading advert for an 01 Phone.

It's being advertised for 505 Euros, or 485 Euros to VIP members of the site, and

Even if troubled manufacturer Motorola isn't in the best of financial health, its newest phone can help you stay in shape.

The Moto W7 Active Edition has an accelerometer that senses your body's motion, orientation and hand gestures, and doubles as a pedometer.

The accelerometer allows for button-free control of the 3G handset. For instance, you can flip the phone over to silence the ringer of an incoming call, snooze the alarm clock or pause music.

Shake, rattle and phone

TechRadar recently reported that Samsung will be launching its first Android phone, the i7500, set to debut in the UK in Q3.

Here, we take an in-depth look at the latest Android phone to give you the run-down on what you can expect from Samsung's first effort at a Google phone, the Samsung i7500.

1. It's thinner

You could hardly call it a gripe, but when we spoke to Patrick Chomet, global director of terminals at Vodafone, he told us that the HTC Magic comes with a poorer camera and no 3.5mm headphone jack because the designers

Sony Ericsson's chief Hideki Komiyama has confirmed that a PSP phone could be on the horizon as he seeks to turn the fortunes of the company around.

In an interview with the FT discussing the problems Komiyama is facing to make Sony Ericsson turn a profit, he confirmed that such a device wasn't being vetoed by Sony and 'could happen'.

He also labelled the Xperia X1, Sony Ericsson's latest high end smartphone, a "kind of experiment."

Open to interpretation

However, this has led to a number of news outlets

Even the simplest mobile phone handset now carries a huge amount of personal information in its memory.

Phone number lists alone can run to hundreds of entries, and most of us have become so reliant on the ability to store multiple numbers per contact that we've lost the ability to recall anyone's current phone number.

Yet while the loss of a mobile can be extremely annoying if you haven't backed up your phone book, most of us have far more information than just contact details to lose. Even if you don't posses a smartphone, a standard mobile is likely to

T-Mobile might be in all sorts of trouble in the UK, but worldwide it's still pushing on with its Android revolution and to that end looks likely to be bringing a redesigned G1 to the masses later this year.

The bizarrely named T-Mobile Bigfoot has been referred to on a leaked document as the G1 v.2, meaning that it's likely to take a few cues from the original handset but with a radical looking redesign.

This means gone is the chunky lip and pop up screen, and in its place is a rounded chassis and slide out keyboard, which looks (from the teeny

While convergence might be a key word in mobile terms, nobody has been annoyed that there has been no effort to stuff a Full HD telly in a phone, but Renesas has only gone and done it anyway.

Well, not actually done the whole job, but made a chip that can process 1080p video as well as Dolby 5.1 surround sound.

According to Tech-On, the chip supports "H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video compression standard (H.264) at Full HD video resolution with a recording/playback frame rate of 30fps," which is pretty powerful in our books.

Mobile but

Not content to bring out one of the phones of 2009 in the HTC Magic, the Taiwanese company has been showing off the HTC Hero, its next Android offering.

After hinting at such a device in its leaked 2009 line-up, the Hero has finally surfaced in the real world, and looks like it's following the G1 and Magic lineage we're now used to, thanks to the inexplicable lip at the bottom.

But it has one thing the Magic and G1 don't have, and that's a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is something the world has been hankering after in an Android phone for ages (and
