O2's new mobile phones debut at number one and three this month with the introduction of the Xda IIs PDA/phone-hybrid and the second incarnation of the company's smart phone, the Xphone II.
This knocks Sony Ericsson's K700i off its pedestal down to second place with the P910i moving down to fifth.
The Samsung E800, which received a CNET.com.au Editors' Choice Award, fared reasonably well moving from ninth position up to fourth. A mention must also go to the other two new mobile phone additions to this month's chart, the Sony Ericsson K500i and the Motorola E398.

O2's latest PDA/phone-hybrid, the Xda IIs, adds a slide keyboard, Wi-Fi, a quad-band antenna and improved battery life to its predecessor.
Reader Opinion Much better in terms of hardware specs and price when compared against HP iPAQ h6365. Definitely a winner for a full-blown high performance PDA smartphone. 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.
