Anyways, U700 is a much better phone overall imho. Knowing 3 people who own a n95 i must say it is a brick with its contents being that of every useless option available for mobile phones. The u700 on the other hand is sleek, and looks much better overall. but what can i say...your choice, your phone...go decide for yourself.. PS: Dmitry and Dimitri are both gay...

On 22 Aug 06:24 Gerry wrote Nokia won this award by default based only on specification. in practice, all the features range from average (cam) to unuasable (gps). on paper, it has no rivals in terms of spec, but those spec's are just words. try using one and you'll soon see just how frustrating it is to own. i mean, it's Nokia's flagship smartphone yet it's completely useless for people in the business secter (most of the smartphone market). there's no QWERTY keyboard so e-mailing is a waste of time. there's not even a touchscreen with a software QWERTY, so getting around the phone is very slow at best. this coupled with the fact that it needs recharging 2-3 times a day makes it utterly pointless/useless. before anyone shouts "SE fanboy", you should consider the fact that i own one of these.

On 17 Aug 09:17 duh wrote a phones camera is not enough to have it win an award . the p990 even with the latest updates still has a lot of problems. it is clear that SE failed miserably on that phone. it's Crap!

On 17 Aug 00:06 Bart wrote what a kind of bullshit??? none of these phones are reliable. this shows that the people in the jury are plain stupid. On 16 Aug 21:33 bkm wrote they only go by specs of the phone only. if they had used the n95 to the fullest then they would have not given this award to it. it has more problems than its features. se has more advanced technology than coz company in the world. they don't roll out such handsets because it would cd beyond the scope of service providers to cope up with the technology.
