Product name	Nokia N79	Samsung Omnia II (I8000)	Sony Ericsson Xperia X10	Nokia N900
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8 Excellent	7.7 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take	CNET Asia editor's take
Review Summary	The Nokia N79 delivers extensive features, performs well and comes with intelligent covers that add something different to the Nseries. Overall, we enjoyed using the N79. Our only real complaint is the slightly flat keypad.	Though some may shun Windows Mobile because of other newer operating systems out there, there's no denying that the Omnia II presents great value-for-money compared with most other touchscreen smartphones.
