I think that C6-01 deserved a place on "Camcorder for your pocket". It's quite cheap, the recording is extremelly good and got that awesome digital zoom.

      Well,android reads .avi files which is less than 720p resolution and juz about 700-900Mb videos,I am sure N8 can read more than Gb files their information were wrong there,cos I've tested with Shrek forever after 2.5Gb with 720p resolution and Saw 3D 2.8Gb with same HD resolution. No problem at all. I was surprised to see it how they said in reviews O.O
      Anyway,overall is a good review.I love Galaxy S too,and I don't think iphone 4 is an innovative phone cos there are many others smartphones,alternatives to it. and I can see the sales of android are catching up. And I believe that Symbian is the most used among ppl over the world,but N8,C7,E&,C6 and X7 are the last symbian handsets. They will pace up with Meego soon enough in this year.
      P.S-I am a mobile shop owner,so I know them a bit well :).

        the best smartphone that you can buy is iphone 4. It is the most innovative and best media player. It is psp and ds killer!!

          Of all the reviews GSMArena does I liked this the most, enjoyed it thoroughly. N8, iPhone4 and Galaxy S were the most prominent devices coming out of this article and the highlights of this year. Personally I thought that C6-01 should have topped the compact smartphone category. Also in 'large screen phones' category the runners-up is Galaxy S, why not Omnia 7? After all its Metro UI is more eye candy on the ample screen real estate... Just these, otherwise an excellent and very useful article. And one more thing, looking at the number of Nokia models, particularly in the 'economy' categories shows us why Nokia is still No. 1.

              oh are we having a mega-pixel war. the N8 looks good but is so slow. personally the iphone 4 is so much better. its only gimmick is a 12 meg cam. and as for symbian the OS needs replacing as its so out of date. even Symbian 3.

              shame.

              but roll of Iphone 5 or HD or whatever its cold.

                            Guys, great reviews, but I feel you are doing an injustice by evaluating the Samsung 723 as a 300$ handpiece. It's not. It actually sells cheaper than the LG P500. Check evilbay, or most carriers. So more bang for your buck? Only if you take into account a wrong price tag...

                                      Anonymous, 05 Dec 2010Dead right on. I don't know what's gsmarena's rationale for... moreyep bro. wave is the best bang 4 buck if u r looking for a premium smartphone+multimedia performer.

                                      Well, the only thing i think is stopping them, is the Bada OS maybe?? but the OS is quite great now. the market has thrived with both free and commercial apps. and it's clear black look is so beautiful on the S-AMOLED screen!

                                      BTW Wave is short of the beautiful S-AMOLED screen too :( I was luck to get one having that! And no doubt the phone is AWESOME...

                                        Windows phone 7 will be competitive if they'll change the hub. personally i don't like it, not that user friendly. i like samsung galaxy S!
