Top 10 Selling Mobile Phone 2008: Australia (David Lim, GDI)

1 Nokia E71 Nokia E71 Editors’ Choice

With its combination of excellent features and performance, matched with sleek design and its affordable price tag, Nokia's E71 manages to outshine recently released smartphones as our business phone of choice. 07/07/2008

2 Samsung INNOV8 (i8510) Samsung INNOV8 (i8510) Editors’ Choice

The INNOV8 is loaded with features and sports massive storage. If you're in the market for a mobile phone that can do just about anything the INNOV8 should be on your shortlist. 28/07/2008

3 Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

Thee X1's good looks and strong hardware are hampered by frequent performance lag, an unintuitive user experience and its jaw-dropping price tag. 11/02/2008

4 LG Renoir KC910 LG Renoir KC910
With an excellent 8-megapixel camera and a finger-friendly touchscreen, the Renoir is exactly what it sets out to be: one of the best camera phones of the year. 26/08/2008

5 Nokia 6600 Slide Nokia 6600 Slide
If you're not bothered with having every feature under the sun and want a phone that's small and easy to use, the Nokia 6600 Slide is it. 29/04/2008

6 LG Viewty (KU990) LG Viewty (KU990)

The touchscreen interface and sexier design will be enough to make knees tremble, however, the Viewty's 5-megapixel camera falls short of our expectations. 26/11/2007

7 Samsung Omnia Samsung Omnia
In terms of features the Omnia stands out as one of the best smartphones to date. It's a shame this doesn't translate into a phone we'd enjoy using from day to day. 05/09/2008

8 Nokia N96 Nokia N96 It's a little slimmer and it has loads of storage, but Nokia's latest flagship model has little to justify its top-shelf price tag. 12/02/2008

9 BlackBerry Storm 9500 BlackBerry Storm 9500
The Storm's clickable display has given us confidence in touchscreens we haven't enjoyed before now. It won't be for everyone, but those who master this system will be rewarded with an excellent smartphone experience. 09/10/2008

10 Nokia 6500 Slide Nokia 6500 Slide
The Nokia 6500 Slide is an attractive 3G phone, but despite features like video-out doesn't really offer anything enticing enough to buy one. 04/09/2007
