Super phones: Nokia N96 vs Samsung G810 vs Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 vs LG KF700
Tags: face, hands, megapixel, gps
There was a time when the best thing your phone could do was send black and white pictures ingeniously created by arranging letters and punctuation marks in a text message to look like a cat's face or -- better still -- a stick man holding, er, a stick.
Times have changed and phones have bounded forward. They're so advanced today they laugh in the face of stick men and crush them to death with their multitude of multimedia weaponry -- it's hardly a fair fight.
No, crap phones are history, but new super phones are ten a penny, so which is the right one for you? Here we have a look at four of the hottest phones about to hit the market. Click through for a closer look at these handset honeys. -Andrew Lim

All of these phones look beautiful and sound like they will be awesome, but I can't help noticing something. All of these phones (except for the Samsung) resemble the iPhone because of their large screen and button(s) on the bottom of the handset. With that said, I'm gunna keep my eye on that Sony Ericsson.

Yes! The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 sure looks destined to be a winner, with Windows mobile 6.0 n awesome features, such as the slide-out keypad! Love it! N96 on the other hand, is way bulky, n jus doesnt have the WOW factor!

It looks like CellSpin is running on one of those amazing phones. For those of you who have not heard of CellSpin, CellSpin allows one to send their audio, text, video, and images to many popular websites such as Livejournal, MSN LiveSpaces, Myspace, etc.....I swear it has to be CellSpin because it is installable on over 300+ phones world wide.

In the i think the LG more beautiful, but it is better to use Nokia N96 because it is more popular

How come the new Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 does NOT have an M2 slot (made by SONY and included in every new SE phone since k800i (since 2006?)
... I have nothing against that microSD, but it's a bit of a waste of money for all those who opted for a less popular M2 because of their Sony Ericsson phones
P.S. These phones (Nokia N96 and SE Experia X1) look fantastic
Can I ask why Russia also has:
- Samsung Instinct
- HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro
which should be in this list here?
