What we'd previously known as the HTC Holiday has just debuted as the HTC Raider. While the phone will initially only be released in South Korea, there are rumors that we could see a European version announced at the next HTC press event on October 6th. With such strong specs, we have no doubt this phone will make a splash.

Samsung S3500

The S3500 may not push the boundaries of mobile phone gadgetry, but it has the essentials in good working order. The music player provides a decent sonic set-up, with a regular Samsung tune player tidily taking care of business. It has standard Samsung music player software, with tunes listed in familiar MP3 player categories, and controls operated by the D-pad.

Its audio performance is reasonable through the boxed stereo earphones. The headset is run-of-the-mill average, and sound is acceptable but not ear-caressingly lovely; it can be a touch trebly, particularly at higher volumes, with bass lacking real presence.

Unsurprisingly for a budget phone, there's no standard 3.5mm headphone socket or adapter in-box, Samsung using its normal multi-connector socket on the side for all plug-ins - earphones, USB and charger. There is a MicroSD card slot - it's under the battery pack - which can support cards up to 8GB, though no card comes in-box. The phone's onboard memory is around 45MB, so if you're fancy more than a handful of tracks, a cheap MicroSD card is a wise investment.

You can enjoy plenty of free music though - via the phone's FM radio, another functional but perfectly serviceable standard piece of kit
