CNET.com.au's mobile guru Jeremy Roche shows you the hottest phones money can buy.

While it hasn't even hit the stores yet, the Sony Ericsson P910i scored gold by gathering the most interest from CNET.com.au readers this month. Hot on its heels is the Sony Ericsson K700i with the silver, a gorgeous little mobile phone which boasts an MP3 player and a funky interface. In third place is the Sharp GX15, scoring Vodafone (who distributes the handset in Australia) bronze.

Other noteworthy contenders include the ugliest phone that ever there was; a duo of 3 phones, the Sony Ericsson Z1010 and the LG U8110); and two phones yet to hit Australian shores -- the Motorola MPx220 and the Siemens SK65. Read on to see the rankings of the hottest phones for August.

Sharp GX15
 
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  
About time a cool mobile phone came out at what i would consider a good and normal price! Don't waste your money on expensive phones that really aren't that great anyway. The Sharp GX15 is perfect.

Nokia 6230
 
This is a beautifully simple looking phone cleverly disguising a rich feature set.

Reader Opinion  


I wish that Nokia (or Logitech) would bring out a pair of stereo bluetooth headphones so that it's possible to listen to music (either from a MP3 walkman or mobile fone) without all these stupid cords getting in the wall ALL the time!

The Sony Ericsson Z1010 is more than just a phone that does video calls -- it's a multimedia package in your pocket.

The Sony Z1010 is a feature packed though slightly bulky phone. Connectivity is unbeatable with fully functional Bluetooth profiles, IrDa and USB. Expandibiliy of Sony MemoryStick Duo. Battery life is extremely good for a 3G phone.
