The smartest non-smartphones in the world
Sony Ericsson W995
If there's one name that really stands out in the world of music phones, it's 'Walkman'. What happens, though, if you take a Walkman phone, and give it an 8MP camera that's straight out of a Cyber-Shot phone? You get the utterly brilliant Sony Ericsson W995!
The combination of Walkman and Cyber-Shot is what makes the Sony Ericsson W995 so very compelling. Top-end imaging is just a button-press away, and the Sony Ericsson W995 always makes music sound better than anything you can imagine. It doesn't have a smartphone OS, but with a phone as good as the Sony Ericsson W995, it just won't matter.
Samsung Tocco Ultra
Our next phone is something a bit different, because as well as a slide-out keypad, it's also got a superb touchscreen interface. It's the Samsung Tocco Ultra, and it really is a thing of beauty. As with the previous phone, the Samsung Tocco Ultra may not have a bona-fide smartphone OS, but it more than makes up for that with an exquisite interface, that makes the phone a real joy to use. Combine that with an 8MP camera, and true supermodel good looks, and you have a real winner in the Samsung Tocco Ultra.
LG Viewty Smart
While the Sony Ericsson W995 [http://www.mobileshop.com/mobile-phones/sony-ericsson-w995-black/description.html] brings you the absolute best in music and imaging, the Samsung Tocco Ultra [http://www.mobileshop.com/mobile-phones/samsung-tocco-ultra/description.html] beats it in terms of looks. But there's a phone out there that fits the phrase 'phone that's nearly a smartphone, without actually being a smartphone': the aptly named LG Viewty Smart [http://www.mobileshop.com/mobile-phones/lg-viewty-smart-black/description.html]. Following on from the original Viewty, the LG Viewty Smart follows the same design ethos of having a touchscreen only interface (the awesome S-Class interface), squeezed into a slim body, but it ups the ante with a superb 8MP camera. It also has HSDPA, making it a truly portable internet device. Put simply, the LG Viewty Smart is the smartest non-smartphone in the world!
