Top 5 ultraslim phones

Motorola may have started the thin phone trend when it launched the Razr clamshell in 2004, but things have certainly changed quite a bit since. For one, other mobile vendors have caught up and introduced even slimmer mobiles. And while there's usually some feature trade-offs on the earlier generations of thin handsets, the latest handsets today sport much improved functions. These include higher-resolution cameras, expandable memory card slots, Bluetooth stereo A2DP, 3G and even HSDPA connectivity. So if you are in the market for a really thin phone but are not willing to compromise on features, take a look at these five recommendations that push the limit with their sub-10mm form factors.

The bad: Slow camera performance; average battery life; no 3G/HSDPA.

	2.	Sony Ericsson W890i Walkman   CNET Asia rating: 8 out of 10 The good: Chic and slim design; brushed metal finish; improved usability; bundled with 2GB Memory Stick Micro M2; 3.5mm adapter accessory; HSDPA; Bluetooth stereo. The bad: Proprietary connector port on the left edge; M2 card slot behind battery cover; mediocre camera features. The bottom line: Design is clearly the focus on the W890i and it's where this Walkman truly shines. At the same time, we can't deny that the W890i is also a solid handset. If you can live with its mediocre camera, this Walkman phone is a keeper. Dimensions: 104 x 46.5 x 9.9mm Review | See full specs | Rate this

	5.	Samsung Soulb   First take I've had embarrassing moments when I've pronounced words incorrectly. Needless to say, I saw it coming when I joked that the latest Samsung candy bar--the Soulb--was called "soap" with a slight hint of "b" at the end. According to the Korea chaebol, the Soulb is pronounced as "soul bi". "Soulb" is wrong. So are "soul bar", "soul to the power of b" and "soul bee". Frankly, if you really can't be bothered, just call it the U800. Dimensions: 111 x 46 x 9.9mm First take | See full specs | Rate this
