While it is mostly smartphones that currently dominate the wireless market, and they seem to be the gadgets to have at the moment, midrange wireless handsets still shouldn’t be ignored.

The Nokia 6700 Classic handset is exactly what it says it is: classic.

From design to usability, the 6700 is a solid alternative to the sometimes confusing smartphones, and while it is not as feature-laden as something like the HTC Desire handset is, it’s an excellent candybar phone that will without doubt surprise new owners.

Obviously, as a cheaper handset, the Nokia 6700 doesn’t come packed with every possible feature available, but it does include all the necessary wireless gadgets and gizmos for the modern day phone user: a decent camera, a speedy Internet browser, Bluetooth functionality, etc.

Perhaps a little more customisation ability would be handy, but that’s just nit picking, as the Nokia 6700 is perfect for anyone who wants a fashionable, yet very affordable mobile handset.

The Samsung Genio Slide has fused elements of both the Genio Touch, and the Genio QWERTY, and the result is a fantastic little handset with 3G technology, high-speed HSDPA mobile data support, and Wi-Fi connectivity built in.

It’s predecessors didn’t possess these features, therefore Samsung are proving that they have what it takes to develop smartphones and make them of a higher quality each time they release them.

What’s more, the smartphone features an onboard satellite navigational system. Obviously aimed at the youth market, the Samsung Genio Slide delivers in almost every area, and is a terrific alternative to the Apple iPhone.

As a low-cost touchscreen, it really doesn’t get much better than this, and with a lengthy feature list and roll-call of functionality, the Samsung Genio Slide could well be the new smartphone to have.
