What's Hot In Mobile Phones
20 November 2008 – There are only a few weeks until Christmas and as mobile phones are a popular gift choice, Reevoo.com gives you the low-down on mobiles; examining what’s hot, what’s not, what people are actually buying and which phones are the best value for money.
Despite being one of the most talked about phones of the year, the iPhone 3G has failed to beat its 2007 predecessor. The original iPhone is rated 8.3/10, just pipping this year’s 3G offering to the post, (the iPhone 3G scores 8.2/10). According to owners, the major issues with the 3G model are its battery life and application crashes, meaning that other phones have been able to storm ahead of the iPhone.
So what really is the hottest mobile phone this season? Reevoo reviewers pick the BlackBerry Bold 9000 as the best phone released in 2008. Some genuine reviews on Reevoo for the BlackBerry Bold 9000 include:
+ Great keyboard for e-mailing and texting. Cracking screen which is nice and bright and videos look lovely on it. The sound from the internal speaker is really good. Just a great phone overall.
– Out of the box battery life is bad but gets better with regular charges.
+ The Bold is undoubtedly the most impressive Blackberry yet. One of its greatest advantages is that in spite of many new features, it feels very familiar. Web browsing is almost broadband speed.
REEVOO RECOMMENDATIONS: TOP FIVE CHRISTMAS MOBILE PHONES
The hyped-up phones usually get all the attention but it’s interesting to see how the most popular phones differ from the most highly rated:
TOP FIVE MOST POPULAR IN LAST 30 DAYS:
1. Nokia N96
2. Samsung F480 Tocco
3. Blackberry Storm
4. Sony Ericsson C902
5. Samsung Omnia
TOP FIVE HIGHEST RATED PHONES OF 2008:

3. Apple iPhone 3G 8/16GB
4. Samsung F480 Tocco

The Nokia N96, whilst being the most popular phone on the market, gets marked down by reviewers for poor battery life and software problems. At around £500 for Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) customers, it’s no surprise that it also gets rated below average for value for money. However, it does impress with its design and features. One reviewer writes “great picture and video quality, very easy to find your way around, fantastic features...looks good”.
