Mobile phones to upgrade your life
We found four unhappy mobile phone owners who yearned for phones that would do more than make calls. We'll help turn them from depressed diallers to pimped-up mobile masters with some insider knowledge and quick tips on the best new phones around.

Nuz -- Style seeker
Nuz has always wanted a good-looking phone, but she hasn't had the time to sort one out and in the meantime her old phone has started to attract some unwanted attention. Every time she uses it to make or take a call, her friends laugh at it -- she's decided it's definitely time to get an upgrade. Nuz wants the best-looking phone out there, one that will silence her mates for good.
Fortunately, there are more and more phones aimed at the fashion-conscious. Ten years ago the selection was pretty bleak: every phone was square and black and they were far from being sexy. Now you can get phones in a plethora of colours and styles and customising your phone is possible with a huge range of accessories.
The only problem, however, is that some fashion phones are more style than substance. Nuz has to be careful that she doesn't get a phone that's awkward to use. She's also keen that she can't press the keys by mistake when the phone is in her handbag, so a candybar phone might not be the best idea.
