Boldly going where few other tech journalists bother to travel, we make sure to check out as many new phone manufacturers as possible -- because you just never know. Only yesterday we plunged into the depths of sweaty London to see MWg's latest handset, the MWg Zinc II.

You're probably thinking who the potatoes is MWg? It stands for Mobile Wireless group, and it used to be O2 Asia -- but O2 ditched it, so now it's gone solo and is coming up with some pretty interesting Windows Mobile handsets. The Zinc II is a compact handset that runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional -- it's quite a looker. Click here for more

Shazam -- and the iPhone is gone. Or at least it has from O2's Web site. Go have a look if you don't believe us, behold the special page that declares "8GB & 16GB iPhone no longer available". So what does it all mean?

One explanation is that O2 has run out of iPhones after it ran the £169 deal for the 8GB model, but that wouldn't explain a wipe-out of the 16GB iPhone too. Could O2 be clearing out stock, prepping itself for a better, 3G-tastic version?

Typically of the cat and mouse game we play with Apple, we have no idea what's going on, but a 3G iPhone was always on the roadmap, so an imminent release isn't out of the question. Click here for more

Is it a Google Phone? Is it the 3G iPhone? Is it something MacGyver put together using a matchbox and his pants? Nope, it's none of those, it's HTC's latest smart phone, the Touch Diamond, which aims to take a bite out of Apple's iPhone cake.

We headed down to its launch today to give it a quick once over and see if this Windows Mobile phone can keep up with the competition. We even took some photos so you can have a proper gander at it -- how thoughtful we are.

It's due out in June on all the major networks, so if by the end of this article you're burning to buy one, you're going to have to wait, but it won't be long and it will be available on your current network. Click here for more

Good news, Cravers -- those of you with the mobile Internets can now access your favourite tech and gadgets site wherever you are!

Yes, we've finally decided that this mobile Interweb thing might be here to stay, so our tech monkeys have spent the last few months beavering, or even monkeying, away to bring you a mobile version of the site.

It's always easy to ignore the budget underdog, especially if they're unattractive or lack finesse. In the grand scheme of things, Alcatel is definitely a mobile phone outsider, but its latest clutch of phones are fairly attractive, even -- gasp! -- desirable. We're not talking super-phones, no -- these cost under £20. Let's hit the bargain basement and see what's going down.

The OT-S120, OT-S210 and OT-211 are Alcatel's latest budget line-up and rather than point and laugh at a trio that put together would cost a fraction of our feature-packed warrior phones, we're actually fairly impressed. The OT-S120 (pictured) might only have a black and white screen, but it's tiny and usable -- it makes calls, it sends text messages, and little else.

The OT-S210 and OT-211 come in the same casing as the OT-S120 but boast colour screens and FM radios. Click here for more

BenQ might not jump into your head when it comes to mobiles as fast as, say, Boris Johnson when you say "useless foppish toff", but it's still in the mobile game. Its new C36 handset looks almost identical to 3's Skype handset we looked at back in October (and still use). It's a music phone with support for MP3, WAV, AMR and good old MIDI files, has a 176x220-pixel LCD display and -- chickety-check this out -- "health management".

No, it won't perform the Heimlich manoeuvre when you're choking on a granddad-friendly Werther's, and neither will it avert epic heart fails. But it'll apparently tell you your Body Mass Index and, providing you're either a woman or a bloke who should really check himself into the nearest hospital pronto, it'll give you updates on your menstrual cycle. Evidently BenQ plans to keep on the bleeding edge of technology, at least for a brief period. Bdum tsh! Click here for more

The humble spoon might be something you take for granted, but you've got to admit that it's a beautifully designed implement. Soup, cereal, even rice, are no match for the spoon's mighty capabilities. Phones, on the other hand, aren't always so well designed, which is why we're glad to see that Nokia's making a real effort to make its latest ones usable -- or at least that's what it says.

The Nokia 6600 fold, 6600 slide and 3600 slide are apparently 'beautiful to use' -- a great slogan that demands the response, "But not to look at."  Click here for more

Are you screaming at walls because your phone weighs a tonne and does a million things, but making phone calls and texting is an absolute nightmare? Does it turn every task into a technological labyrinth with no foreseeable end? Fear not, dear reader, not all phones are designed exclusively for the l33t geek, some are actually quite simple.

Take the Sony Ericsson K660i, for example, a simple handset with a simple design. Aimed at people whose middle name is 'straightforward', the K660i does away with frills and keeps things basic. Don't underestimate it though, you scoffers, it's far from underpowered -- HSDPA (3.5G) makes browsing the Web superfast. 

Sending text messages and calling mates won't leave you pulling your hair out. Similar to other mid-range Sony Ericsson handsets, such as the K550i, the K660i offers an intuitive interface that's easy to navigate, and a simple keypad is great for texting. Click here for more

LG has just announced the latest addition to its Black Label series -- think Chocolate -- the LG Secret. It's set to be a stylish new phone developed for fashonistas who want something that looks sexy and functions, er, sexy.

It's also going to be the slimmest 5-megapixel camera phone ever made, at 11.8mm thick, with support for shooting video at 120fps into DivX format. There's also built-in photo and video editing features, including the rather alarming 'facial editing' and technology that automatically alters the lighting in a photo to produce a more enjoyable image. Click here for more

At a swanky meeting with Nokia yesterday, we got to play with Nokia's glossy new XpressMusic handsets, the 5320 and the 5220. Both are set to be affordable, mid-range models available from Q3 this year. During our swift fondling sessions with the phones, we formed some early opinions.

Firstly, and most importantly as far as music phones are concerned, Nokia told us it has put brand-new audio chips inside these two new models to improve sound quality over previous handsets. This is a sensible decision, as more people are turning to mobiles as their primary music players. For some inane reason, the phones were on display with headphones that can only be described as utter bullshizzle, so we couldn't judge for ourselves whether the new chips were making a real difference. Click here for more
