| Gone are the days of Stepford wife mothers who cook in high heels and form a faceless workforce devoted to their families and their homes. Today, our mums come with in-built personalities.
Luckily there's a mobile phone to match every mother. For the high-flying matriarchs there's the business-focused BlackBerry Pearl 8120, for the media-hungry mum there's Nokia N95 8GB model. Perhaps your mum has simpler tastes preferring a phone just for the basics of calling and texting. For these mothers either the Nokia 6300 or Sony Ericsson's S500i would fit the bill nicely, without breaking the bank.
For the mum who has recently become a nanna, Samsung's lightweight G600 with its 5-megapixel camera is perfect for taking pics of the grandkids.
With Mother's Day just around the corner we've compiled a list of the best phones for mum, whoever she may be.
