10 best cell phones for women

	1.	Motorola Razr2 V8  First take Whether you like it or not, there's no denying that Motorola's Razr series was a hit with the general crowd. Since the first Razr was introduced in 2004, several iterations have been released but they remain largely similar to the original. To the layman, it appears that the company is milking its worth with the series.
	2.	Samsung SGH-E590  CNET Asia rating: 8 out of 10 The good: Contoured; clean lines; sits beautifully in hand; 3-megapixel camera with autofocus; feature-packed for its size; solid build quality. The bad: No flashlight; headset port awkwardly positioned; sound quality affected by speaker vibration; so-so camera snaps. The bottom line: It's simple to use, it's elegantly tiny, it has real buttons, and it's no small fry in the features department. Oh, yes, it doesn't look like any Samsung or any designer phone out there for that matter. What's not to like?
	3.	Samsung Ultra Edition 12.1 (U700)  First take If it's any indication, Samsung's Ultra Edition line is one of its most popular series of mobile phones. From the super-slim design of the Ultra Edition 8.4 which snagged an Editors' Choice to one of the earlier HSDPA-enabled Ultra Edition 13.8, the Korean chaebol has constantly been trimming the form factor of its Ultra lineup.
	4.	LG Shine (KU970)  CNET Asia rating: 7 out of 10 The good: Solid build quality with brushed metal surface on the back; glossy finish a beauty; HSDPA-enabled; Bluetooth stereo. The bad: Response lag during scrolling; no expansion card slot; users restricted to only 512MB of onboard memory. The bottom line: A worthy successor to the popular Chocolate series, the ultra-chic design of the KU970 will appeal to both sexes, but its average Joe feature set and dodgy scroll wheel don't impress. If you can forgo 3G and HSDPA connectivity, the KE970 looks like a better choice with a microSD expansion card slot.
	5.	Nokia 6300  CNET Asia rating: 8.3 out of 10 The good: Slim design; sharp color screen; easy-to-use keypad; slick-looking user interface that keeps it simple. The bad: No auto-focus or flash on the camera; lack of 3G connectivity. The bottom line: While this isn't the most advanced handset out there, it has a strong casing, a decent all-round feature set and an elegant, straightforward design. This is Nokia at its best.

 

	6.	Nokia 7373  CNET Asia rating: 6 out of 10 The good:  Eye-catching design; intuitive menus. The bad:  Poor music player; average battery life; awkward flick screen. The bottom line: Nokia's 7373 is definitely a handset to turn heads. The rotating screen and classy styling mean it's attractive to look at, but delve under the finely manicured exterior and you'll find a pretty average handset which has a clunky music player and sub-standard battery life.
	7.	Prada Phone by LG  CNET Asia rating: 8 out of 10 The good:  Attractive design; large color screen; attractive user interface; world clock; FM radio. The bad:  Texting can be awkward; lack of autofocus on the camera; glossy surfaces attract fingerprints and face grease. The bottom line: For a first-time collaboration between LG and Prada, this phone is a significant achievement that will get you noticed whenever you use it. Indeed, this is one of the most attractive handsets that we have seen so far, and while it's not perfect in every area, it keeps LG firmly at the top of the fashion phone market.
	8.	Sony Ericsson W660i  First take Last month Sony Ericsson announced an impressive nine new handsets and yet one month later it still has another handset to add to the list, the W660i. It's a candybar Walkman phone that looks like a combination between the company's W810i andK800i.
	9.	Sony Ericsson W880i  CNET Asia rating: 7.7 out of 10 The good:  Slim, attractive design; solid build quality; bundled with a 1GB memory card; 3G; loud speakers; sharp image captures. The bad:  Camera lacks autofocus and flash; buttons are too small; no FM radio; tinny sound quality. The bottom line: The W880i is slim, sexy and surprisingly packed with features. If you can look past its tiny keys and tinsy sound, this is one music-phone that's worth a closer look.
	10.	Sony Ericsson Z610i   First take There's a distinctive Japanese "kei tai" (mobile phone) look-and-feel about Sony Ericsson's handsets. Possibly due to the part-Japanese heritage, the phone designs typically tend to be clean-looking and simple, with a good selection and implementation of features. The company's latest 3G clamshell, the Z610i, continues to show that distinction by using a glossy mirror finish on top of an OLED display on the front cover, while incorporating a premium feature set that includes a 2-megapixel camera, 2-inch 18-bit display, Bluetooth (A2DP) and additional storage expansion. The result? A stylishly designed handset that promises to offer more than just good looks.
