    Have been around GSM arena for about 6 months now....every minute was well spent and thanks GSM arena for such a focussed and hilarious 1st April treat looooool! Gave so many creative ideas to people in media industry like me ha ha ha. Hope the manufacturers read this and realize how and where their phones suck !!!

              This is very clear if you think a little. Every manufacturer had a chance to buy one of the awards. So, obviously all of them bough that award where they had the more complaints. There is no point saying to the public that iPhone is the best touch screen phone because every body knows that, but if you say it is the best camera phone – that will get a huge attention. Just like Nokia 5800 which is withdrawn from the US one time and the earpiece problem as well – they now bought the most reliable award to send out a massage which will “correct” these mistakes. Everybody is complaining about SE boring design – so SE invested in that award. And so on….

              The world is nothing more than business interests. Everything is driven by money and profit.

                  The "Exellent exmaples" link points to flickr web site. but i am surprised at GSM Arena. THOSE PICS ARE NOT TAKEN FROM IPHONE.
