 | Esato - Best and Worst Phone of the year 2006 
 Right lets have your votes, your good, honest-to-god, objective votes.  This poll needs you, in order to find out from our worldly-wise and knowledgeable Esatonians what, in their opinion, the best and worst Sony Ericsson handset / product launched in 2006 was and why.
 
 For the best phone title we have the obvious Cyber-shot contender but then again we also have some worthy Wallkman contenders but don't forget that this isn't just the best featured device but also you must take into account the design, features and problems inc fw issues, build quality etc.  What was the best product allround?
 
 What was the worst device?  Which device has been a disappointment?  Which phone got you worked up into a lather but ultimately left you cold.  There might be a couple of contenders for that title.
 
 It also doesn't have to be a something that you own or have owned and it doesn't have to be a high-end device either so name your device ...
 
 Here are the 2006 contenders: -
 
 J100i
 K310i
 K510i
 K610i
 K610im
 K800i
 M600i
 P990i
 V630i
 W300i
 W700i
 W710i
 W810i
 W850i
 W950i
 Z310i
 Z530i
 Z550i
 Z610i
 Z710i
 
 Who wins?  You decide.....

 | Best- P990 (No matter how many negatives it has, its still the best phone available at the moment) 
 Worst- W300 (Because at its price it could have had a better display and a better camera)

 | I'll second the 'best' on P990, but have no candidate for the 'worst' position since I've only had my eyes on the P990 for the whole year (got it in December).   P990i (GW1) + 4GB MSThis signature is (probably) brought to you with the help of HTTP.

 | The best : P990 I think P990 is almost an all-round phone from SE for 2006 and so far I satisfied enough with its performance and features.
 
 The worst : Z530
 Except its external memory card slot availability, Z520 is better than Z530 in overall.

 | Best - Easily the P990.. A complete package.. Was always very stable for me and with the new firmware, it rules. Also if i was allowed to cast two votes, i'd give the k800/k790 a vote for the best.. Was completely satisfied by the k790- was a totally amazing phone. But going to the p990, i haven't gone back to the k790..  since i haven't used any other phone this year i wouldn't be able to judge which was the worst. Sony all the way |

 | The best in my opinion would be P990. And the worst is z530. Both are quite different and display a full range of distinctive options. I think z530 would've been a good option if it'd had radio and a better camera. Visit Colombia. You'd never forget it! w810i |

 | Best: K800i - Very popular camera phone and possibly the best 3G 'proper' phone available. 
 Worst: W300i - yuck.

 | The P990 was a brilliant concept but ultimately disappointed me. I wouldn't call it the worst but it doesn't deserve to be the best in my opinion. The best for me would be the w810i. Worst would definitely be the w300i. |
