Top 10 phones for June 2007

Nokia and Sony Ericsson continue to dominate our Top 10 chart for June. Nokia's 6300 remains a hot favorite after claiming top spot last month with a decent all-round feature set and elegant design while those looking for a stylish business-oriented phone have the Nokia E65 to select from. From the other camp, Sony Ericsson's Cyber-shot phone, the K810i, also made it to our latest hit list.

	1.	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.

	3.	Nokia E65   CNET Asia rating: 7.4 out of 10 The good: Stylish business-oriented phone; wealth of connectivity features including 3G and Wi-Fi. The bad: Bundled mono headset; no front camera for video calls; barebones 2-megapixel camera with disappointing image quality; keys on top lid could be bigger; soft onboard speaker. The bottom line: The E65's broad range of connectivity features would attract mobile users who want a little more from their phone sans the bulk. Review | See full specs | Rate this
	4.	Sony Ericsson K810i   CNET Asia rating: 7.9 out of 10 The good: Auto-focus and xenon flash on camera; new and improved camera cover. The bad: Keys are a little too small on the keypad; Web browser could be better; no killer extra features over predecessor. The bottom line: It's a good camera phone, but it lacks the wow factor of its predecessors. If you already own a K800i then it's not worth upgrading, although others will want to check it out.
