9. Sony Ericsson S500i (unlocked)
Editors' rating: 7.6
The good: The Sony Ericsson S500i is a beautifully designed handset with a slew of multimedia features that include a 2-megapixel camera plus a music player. Performance was great, as well.
The bad: The Sony Ericsson S500i has a rather fragile keypad--plus, it's on the expensive side.
The bottom line: The Sony Ericsson S500i is a stylish phone with a lot of sex appeal plus a decent feature set, but its high price and iffy controls make it less than desirable.
