iphone_34 Here is my list of the Best Mobile Phones of 2007. This list covers more than Windows Mobile Phones. The Top 5 Windows Mobile Phones of 2007 will come later.

5. Palm Centro (Sprint) – I know. What is he smoking? Right? No. The Palm Centro made it into my list because of its appeal to a mass market, it’s price point, and face it… it’s a really nice smaller phone packed with features. My wife is waiting on this one to hit the GSM side of the cell world.

4. The Nokia N95 (unlocked) – This is an AMAZING device. I don’t care for Symbian, but the navigation is simple to pick up if you have never used before. The 5 MegaPixel camera is one of the best cameras to ever come in a phone. The Nokia N95 does it all. (link)

3. Blackberry Curve (Various Carriers) – Take the uber business email platform and throw the short, fat “old school” Blackberries out the window and add some handsets with mass appeal and you have an instant hit. Ask them, it worked for RIM. I personally prefer and Exchange Server, but for folks that work for companies that already have this solution in place, it’s nice to know that there are attractive phones for you.

2. The AT&T Tilt (AT&T) – This is the best bang for your buck in the Windows Mobile Arena. Well, it’s not the cheapest phone by far but it has so many features packed into one device. (link)

1. The Apple iPhone (AT&T) – Despite it’s shortcomings as a business phone, the iPhone is no doubt “the” phone of 2007. I used this phone a few times since it came out and it truely is a joy to use. I don’t have to harp on the 3 things I don’t like about the iPhone since one of them is fixed and the other two will be in 2008. (link)

Honorable Mentions : T-Mobile Dash, LG Chocolate, and Treo 750.

There you have it. These are my picks for the Top 5 Mobile Phones of 2007. Stay tuned for other lists including a Top 5 UMPC List from Ctitanic!

    I got my bro the Centro and I’ve been playing with it for about 2 weeks. Honestly, its a very good price for the features / softwares it came with. The only negative was I wished they bundled the BT software to allow A2DP and AVRCP.
