Again, is there not one for outside the UK?:rolleyes:;)

[brad]

None of that supprises me.

[Jose_R.A.M]

I'd have to agree with allll of that above. except for the palm treo 650 which i have never used. or skipping stone for that matter.

[Box215]

HUH!? Never hear of the Treo 650? I know a few people who have them...dont really like them cause data on it is SLOOOOOOOOOW. D600 phone of the year? Was it really that good? I thought it wouldve been the K750. And do all new UMTS phones suck that much that the Z800 won for the second year in a row?

As a UK publication probably not - you guys got anything similar ?

[hzs_id]

Quite interesting list...Just one Nokia:rolleyes:

[crazyze]

It was a year where Nokia promised a lot and failed to deliver - and it is debatable as to whether the N90 is the best camera phone of 2005...

Both the best camera fone and the phone of the year awards surprised me. I thought both awards belonged to the K750i!!! Even tho I think the D600 is better than the K750i I think it was introduced too late to compete!!!

lol how come d600 is the phone of the year :S and wut is so special in k750i there is nuthin at all in it i sold tht phone for n6630 which is nokia's best phone so far with respect to performance

yup, it's fast.

But I do think that they judged this list... based on the features the phones had, and not on performance or how good the phone functions?




cheers!

[MikeUK]

D600 got phone of the year because it's a good all rounder for your average user!

[zalameh1]

list is reasonable apart from fashion phone of the year and 3g phone of the year. the pebl doesnt look that great from the inside and the v800i is just too bulky.

[carcomptoy]

And do all new UMTS phones suck that much that the Z800 won for the second year in a row?
Yeah why not the 6680 or N70? Or better the 6630??

[marwan]

D600 should be on the "sh!tt!est phone of the year"

that phone was sad and miserabel!

...they should change the name of that site to www.mobilechoke.com

[crazyze]

A little harsh Marwan, for most mainstream users D600 is pretty good!

Ah, I overlooked the 3g phone of the year being the v800i. I share your thoughts.
