1 | Samsung Galaxy S2
The Samsung Galaxy S2 still holds onto its spot as the top phone. With the prospect of a tasty Ice Cream Sandwich treat just around the corner, the Galaxy S2 remains one of the most desirable phones around. |
 |
2 | Apple iPhone 4S
The newest member of the iPhone 4S family has finally overtaken its sibling. Despite a critically panned launched, the iPhone 4S has seen incredibly brisk sales. |
 |
3 | Apple iPhone 4
The older iPhone has been overshot by its younger cousin, but still performs well and offers good value for money (at least in iPhone terms). |
 |
4 | Samsung Galaxy Note
The Samsung Galaxy Note is somewhat of a surprise, coming in at number 4. The love-it-or-hate-it phone and tablet hybrid has attracted a vocal following, thanks to its HD screen and unique stylus. |
 |
5 | Samsung Galaxy Nexus
The Galaxy Nexus debuts at #5, offering the world the first look at Ice Cream Sandwich. The phone, which includes most of the best parts of the Galaxy S2, also includes an HD screen. |
 |
6 | Sim-Free Samsung Galaxy Ace
The Samsung Galaxy Ace is the phone that just won’t die. From its humble beginnings as a Galaxy S variant, it’s retained excellent value and is one of the best single core phones for the price. |
 |
7 | BlackBerry 8520 Curve
RIM’s only charting member of the top 10 is the BlackBerry Curve, a middle-of-the-road BlackBerry that offers all of the best bits without being overly expensive. |
 |
8 | HTC Sensation
The Sensation remains a strong contender for best dual core smartphone, although it’s starting to be left behind a bit by its American cousins like the Rezound. |
 |
9 | Apple iPhone 3GS
The iPhone 3GS is another long-lasting top 10 contender, offering that excellent iPhone experience at a very doable price. With the same 1 GHz processor as the iPhone 4, it remains a powerhouse. |
 |
10 | Sim-Free Nokia Lumia 800
Nokia’s massive marketing budget has pushed this Windows Phone all the way to #10, the first Windows Phone to do so (at least in my tenure). |
