            Why your team didn't include my SE s700i in the list. It has very good display.

              The N80 isn't on it simply because it's battery is a pissoff. =)

                          Editor's choice for 3G in da house should not be Nokia N73 since it's a camera phone. Sony Ericsson K610/K618 is bestbuy for this category :D

                                gsmarena manages to brought up phones that will not mess up the money of consumers, that's the reason i could think why they didn't include P990i,..

                                  well n91 is not the best musik fone actually and in my views w300 is far better than n91 when u see the fone as only a musik fone
                                  n91 recored video at 320x240 lets compare it with e6 rokr (at half of its price) has VGA video and better talk time 3D sound FAR FAR better display
                                  better bluetooth
                                  small size even a PDA functionality , better musik features, better sound through fone and head fones A2DP................................ alot better tech

                                    Good review guys,
                                    but I feel that you did not give the recognition to N91 it deserved. It is better than W950 in so many matters:-
                                    camera (2mp without flash),video recording resolution (352X288) ,attractive design ,stereo widening,steel body ,8-band equaliser ,etc.
                                    In fact you bring it beside That 3250 !!
                                    N91 is best music phone in overall matters ,including music as well. Take Care

                                      N73ME not a single word, with the updated firmware its camera is the best, it was sonyericsson fan related article also no Sharp or ROKR E2.
