The N95 and the iPhone, two phones I own, certainly have some features that are better than the W910i, but they just don’t have all the features the W910i has built-in as standard.

Without knowing precisely what the judges were considering, this must have been one of the judges’ factors in choosing the ultimate winner.

Sony Ericsson note that, since the launch of the W800 Walkman phone in August 2005, more than 57 million Walkman phones have been sold worldwide.

They also note that the Walkman range is yet to see further expansion, with Sony Ericsson’s W980i due later this year, although it only comes with 8GB of internal memory compared with the upcoming Nokia N96’s 16GB of internal memory, while the iPhone is already sold in a 16GB configuration.

While the W910i is certainly a feature packed phone, and is worthy of recognition, the simple fact is that it’s already out of date for mobile phone aficionados who simply must have the latest technology.

There’s also no doubt that N95 and iPhone fans would dispute that the W910i was the best handset on the market.

But we were not one of the judges, and happily acknowledge that the N95 and the iPhone would be even better phones if they had all of the features the W910i offers as standard.

So, congratulations, Sony Ericsson, on winning this award. We look forward to even more vigorous competition in the future, as mobile phones converge even further to become ultra advanced and yet ultra easy to use computing and communications devices.
