Best Phones of 2008

Frazier Barretto, Dec 26, 2008 1453 hrs IST

Take a look at the best phones that stand out from the multitude of phones we've seen this year.

EXPERT REVIEW

Blackberry Bold

The Blackberry Bold, which comes in next, has changed the whole outlook of RIM and has done so convincingly. This handset s Business and Multimedia package is a perfect merger of work and play. We all know of the capabilities and productivity of Blackberry phones. The Blackberry Bold is a great-looking handset, having great flaunt-value and is a class apart. It has everything that s expected from a phone of its calibre, except for a poor image capturing optic, which shouldn t really matter.

The phone has great video capabilities; any image or video looks good on its high-res large screen. The phone has DivX and XviD capabilities. The Bold has a powerful processor under its hood that can execute most of the mobile tasks that you would want your phone to do. The Blackberry Bold is steeply priced but it s not for nothing, the power it exudes in the little package is amazing.

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.

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.

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.

Where's HTC TOUCH HD - best phone ever. ALso where's Blackberry storm

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.

SE is the worst!!.... .... how come its the first?
