BEST: K800i
Brilliant camera phone, and the only one on the market with a xenon flash. It was a worthy successor to the K750 and even proved itself a polished rival to phones even like the N73. Wasn't bloated with extras and made perfectly for its target audience.

WORST: V630
Well with all the K610 clones last year, this was the worst. Who needs the V630 when SE already had three more phones with the same specs (and then a Z610 for others)? Then to add Vodafone branding, locking, removal of the activity and web browser buttons, and a truly horrible design. I don't need to say any more.
No more Voda SE phones again!

And I'd like to defend the W300. It was a low end Face it Low end gets crappy screen and camera.

Best Z610i, I would disqualify the W810 for hissing and the P990 for mediocre FW.
Worst: V630. Who needs it?

Well there must be more opinions than this to get a fair view. I'll keep this open for a while longer.

Well it looks like the two front-runners are the P990i and the K800i.

I predicted that the P990i would draw people out to vote good or bad in equal proportions but it would seem that in general the P990i has won over the majority of our hearts and minds.

I'm surprised to not see more people voting for the W810i.

@goldenface, I did only to say it's my vote as the worst phone purely because of it's keypad, brilliant otherwise but I fear that keypad would give me artheritas!!!

@apolloa

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I know what you mean. If texting is your thing then the W950i would probably give your thumbs a hard time.

@sfc

Yeah - I would be interested to hear why the K800i got the thumbs down from you
