With a sleek silver finish, sexy curvy design, a 128 x 160 pixel screen and 16 polyphonic ringtones, this handset should fly off the shelves at the blink of the eye.

When the phone is turned on, the colour screen immediately shows a paper plane flying across the screen amidst a background of boats in a harbour accompanied by a fairytale chime. After opening the clamshell lid it reveals a space-age type keyboard with numbers illuminated in electric blue. Its high definition colour screen of 4096 colours is a stunner making the T100 appear like a miniature TV screen.

Reading WAP isn’t a chore on this little gem, as it displays up to 12 lines of text or a whole message can be viewed at once, making pleasurable reading. A clinking and clanking sound will alert you too a voicemail that you’ve received. Lurking in this dynamite handset are 42 polyphonic ringtones including the show-stopper number Carmen with the choice of downloading three more ringtones of your personal choice or the chance to compose two of your own ditties on the built-in melody composer.

Key features crammed inside the T100 are a WAP 1.2.1 browser, picture messaging, organiser, vibrate alert, T9, voice dialling, voice commands and voice memo, reminder, alarm clock and a memo for those important appointments.

There’s also an impressive array of built-in games – Airshooting, SpaceWar and the addictive MyPet, based on the Tamagochi craze of about five years ago. Here you have the chance of putting your caring and parenting skills to the test by giving you the serious task of caring for your own personal pussy cat – wash it, feed it and even take it to the vet when it becomes ill. All this in full colour as well!

Although the handset doesn’t feature some of the up-and-coming technology such as Bluetooth, GPRS, built-in infrared modem, and neither is it tri-band, its looks will no doubt ensure that it’s a winner.
