The phone with no keypad

Those kerazy kooksters at Nokia often produce nutty designs without rhyme or reason. But, as you can read in this week's column, the 7280 is a space cadet which makes perfect sense.

About the size of a Mars Bar without the wrapper, the 7280 looks nothing like a moby and invokes bafflement in everyone who sees it - thanks mainly to the absence of a keypad. Check out the paper to find out why the 7280 is a sleek design classic - but for girls only.

Also reviewed is Sony Ericsson's HBH-200 Bluetooth headset which parks itself middleways between a fully wired earpiece and those wireless ones that make the wearer look like a reject from a Star Trek casting.

In games, the Sonic Mega Collection Plus is a beautiful reminder of everything that was great about the legendary spiky hedgehog. Bargain price too (try out the online version of Sonic's first adventure for a quick nostalgia fix).

Then there's Shadow of Rome, a gruesome hack'n'slash epic crossed with some feeble stealth exploration. Lastly, and leastly, we have Suikoden IV, a dull, dull, dull RPG.
