Puzzled by all the latest smartphone releases? Well don't be - this is your guide to all the latest handsets, enabling you to choose exactly the right one to suit your needs.
So whether it's iPhone, Symbian, Android or Windows Mobile, it's all here.
Many are available already, with some to follow over the coming months.
1. Nokia N97
Nokia's new flagship communicator-style model is right at the top of the tree, with a 3.5-inch screen, 5 megapixel and slide-out keyboard. Wi-Fi and HSDPA rounds off the nicely-finished package.
Pros: As well as 'DVD-quality' video recording and the good camera, the N97 has been designed to be good for business as well as leisure with 32GB of memory and microSD card slot.
Cons: Symbian is still a relatively sluggish OS and the processor isn't supremely powered either - needs to be a little better.
Availability: Now
Get it if: You want a workhorse smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard that has enviable multimedia prowess, too.
2. Palm Pre
The first to use the new Texas Instruments OMAP 3430 processor, the Pre is a superb new contender, and a real return to form by Palm. Now that O2 has the exclusive in Europe, Palm is set to be placed exactly where it wants – alongside the iPhone in stores.
Pros: A powerful business device with multitasking and contact synchronisation over the web. webOS is slick and fast.
Cons: Only 8GB of memory, some won't like the smallish slide out keyboard at the bottom of the handset.
Availability: Late autumn
Get it if: You think you'll get on well with webOS and you want a powerful business communicator that isn't a BlackBerry.
3. Samsung i7500 Galaxy
Set to be the first non-HTC Android phone on the streets, this 11.9mm thick Samsung handset has it all – including an AMOLED screen like the one in the Omnia HD. There's also a 5 megapixel camera, too. Could this be the handset to send Android mainstream? What's more, it's also on O2. What a superb roster of handsets the network is building up for the autumn/winter season.
Pros: The AMOLED screen will be a winner as will the camera (which has a LED flash and auto focus) and there's a 3.5mm headphone jack to boot.
Cons: Smaller screen than the N97, same as the HTC Magic. The 8GB memory could be better.
Availability: August
Get it if: You want an Android handset that's not made by HTC - this is a serious alternative.

4. HTC Magic
The second coming of Android improved on the T-Mobile G1 and is a Vodafone exclusive. Running the second 'Cupcake' version of Android, it's a superb handset complete with Wi-Fi and HDSPA plus the usual accutrements such as GPS and a compass. And it isn't too expensive, either. We'll also soon have the Android-powered HTC Hero, available on Orange and T-Mobile.
Pros: It's available free with unlimited internet and email for £25 per month – a steal.
Cons: The 3.2 megapixel camera could be better, but we're nitpicking really. 512MB of built-in memory isn't good enough, however, despite the expandable memory card slot.
Availability: Now
Get it if: You don't want to pay £35 a month for a smartphone. It's a super handset, providing you want Android.

5. Sony Ericsson Satio
Formerly known as the Idou, the new flagship Sony Ericsson handset has a 12.1 megapixel camera. We won't get too carried away as it runs runs the Symbian S60 5th edition OS, also seen inside the Nokia 5800, while previous range-topping SE phones haven't exactly set the world on fire (hello, Xperia X1)
Pros: 3.5-inch wide-format touchscreen looks great, and the design is also excellent. We'll be interested to see how S60 copes come review time, though.
Cons: On board storage is the biggest miss (although there is a 8GB microSD card in the box), and a 3.5-inch headphone jack is now a must for serious entertainment phones.
Availability: October
Get it if: The idea of a Sony Ericsson handset appeals or you want that mega-camera. Such big photos again raises the question – why no internal memory?

6. BlackBerry Storm 2
Following on from last year's excellent Vodafone-exclusive Storm 9500, the Storm 2 will fill some gaps. You could do a lot worse than pick up the original though, available free from Voda on a £30 unlimited internet tariff – though it missed a trick by not packing in any Wi-Fi.
Pros: Some reports claimed the SurePress haptic feedback touchscreen was being retained, but it now seems RIM will go the traditional touchscreen route. Wi-Fi is sure to be included. It has to be. We're also expecting a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus and 3.5 mm headset jack.
Cons: Looks very similar to the original.
Availability: Autumn
Get it if: You liked the look of the original Storm, but want a BlackBerry.
