This article is a compilation of the best phones of 2008. Though there are several contenders, these are the ones that emerge as the best in the galaxy of phones that have been released. With money no boundary and an eye on the best that technology has to offer in a small package, let s applaud to the finest mobile phones of 2008.


 


 


The following phones have not been listed according to their ranking but is our selection of the best phones of this year.


 


 


 


Nokia E71


 



 


 


 


The Nokia E71 is the first that comes to my mind. This phone has been praised by all, not just for its functionality but also for its style and looks. People would hardly look at a QWERTY keypad phone as a style phone but this handset from Nokia has changed that. The Nokia E71 has little wrong with it except for its missing Blackberry Connect, which no Nokia phone will provide henceforth. Large screen, powerful, seamless usability, connectivity and sufficient multimedia features all make the Nokia E71 the best phone. If you thought the E61i from Nokia couldn t get any better, take a look at the E71. However, I still prefer the E61i over the E71.

MotoZine? What the hell? Dude, the max video capture resolution is 176x144! What use are those 5 megapixels if you can't capture a video larger than the palm of your hand?!? You also seem to forget the SE G900, which for my money is the most complete phone on the market.

I just happened to read an article named "Worst Phones of 2008" in your site in which apple iphone features. Now here again as the "Best phones of 2008" Apple iphone? I am confused whethere it is a good phone of bad phone. You can't have double standards about iPhones. You need to stick to only one story. iPhone can't feature on both the worst and the best!! Your take

It ain't double standards, if its just the phone we are talking about then its not such a good phone (doesn't have the basics right) thats why it features in the Worst Phones article...In this article the iPhone features because its not just the phone that you buy when you pay for it, you get this whole backend support right at the tip of your finger (like the App Store, iTunes) which makes the whole package deal pretty good. Basically the additional services that you get with the phone make it a great deal....but as a phone it fails.

I did like to mention a little inconsistency here. The "Best phones of 2008" features an iPhone 3G and the related article "Worst phones of 2008" feature iPhone 3G! I am inclined to believe that this is quite a popular site where opinions if need to be shared should be done on a common ground. Also throughout the article one can see spelling mistakes and stray characters eg. "However, its incompetency to multitask is like a speed breaker in the phone" It is not its but it's. "it captures images well and easily without taxing the user s capabilities." I wonder what the "s" is doing there. Please copy paste in Microsoft word and run a spell check.

These phones haven't released in India as yet...& it wouldn't be appropriate to pass a verdict without testing them out.

Well, Mr. Reviewer, i guess yo are missing a point or two here. The SE C 905 with the 8.1 MP camera is really gonna eat market of Samsung & it might get the benefits of being first to the market.
