Hi, I look after product development for CBS Interactive in Sydney - which lets me develop a range of websites including CNET Australia, TV.com and ZDNet Australia.
CNET.com.au's Jeremy Roche leads you through October's most popular mobiles.
Can anyone stop Sony Ericsson slaughtering the competition in CNET.com.au's Most Popular Phones?
This month, the sleek K700i has taken the crown from its bigger brother, the Sony Ericsson P910i, which dropped back to third. Sneaking in for second position is LG's U8110 -- the predecessor to the U8120, which is the latest handset from third-generation operator, 3.
The final notable result is from Korean manufacturer Samsung, with its E800 slider phone. Although the handset had only been on reviewed one week prior to the end of October, it managed to draw enough attention to thrust it into 8th position.
Read on to see the rankings of the hottest phones for October.
Note: Results are based on readership statistics from CNET.com.au.
Sony Ericsson's K700i is a stylish little phone with a top notch
interface and a host of features to keep you entertained while staying
connected.
Reader Opinion The screen is very sharp and detailed, bluetooth connectivity is great, camera is okay. The all around idea is that I think Sony Ericsson has done a good job with this phone. Read review

If you don't mind the size of the phone it's a worthwile investment for business use.I just bought this phone and it's got everything you could ever imagine in a PDA and phone and it's loaded with features. Great image quality with upgraded 256,000 colour TFT screen. This is 'the best' phone i have ever used. Read review

The GX15 is a generally pleasant phone for Vodafone Live! users,
although you can get better phones to use with the service if you're
prepared to spend more.
Reader Opinion
No others can replace it for under $350. Got it as an urgent replacement. Loved it since. Man, this phone rocks! Read review

Nokia's first megapixel camera phone runs on the Symbian operating system, has a unique design and a pack of smart phone features such an Internet browser and a video player.
The sliding 7280 features a concealed VGA camera and forgoes a traditional keypad in favour of a dial.
Reader Opinion Not recommended as it is a lipstick case and will go out of style as quickly as it came out on the market. Definitely not their strong suit and won't be a 5110 -- i.e. one of the most successful phones they ever made. See

The Sony Ericsson Z1010 is more than just a phone that does
video calls -- it's a multimedia package in your pocket.
Reader Opinion The Z1010 is a feature packed though slightly bulky phone. It's forte is multimedia (can fit a full movie on .3gp format on 128MB Duo Card), high quality MP3 playback. Connectivity is unbeatable with fully functional Bluetooth profiles, IrDa and USB and of course its 3G capabilities. Read review

This is a beautifully simple looking phone cleverly disguising
a rich feature set.
Reader Opinion
Very good phone but has its faults. The FM radio will only rarely output in stereo - it is so annoying you need to select mono output. The media player through the headphones could be louder. Read review
