Major ouch for prospective buyer. It is time for HTC to work on stills and vidoes of their devices. If Samsung able to balance it out why can"t they?

Nokia 5800 has ear piece problem
Nokia N97 has GPS and Camera glass scratching issue
HTC HD2 has camera issues
Iphone is over priced.
Sony Eric Satio recalled

These are all excellent phones but they have one issue or the other (u cant have it all), but u know we want value for money.

To this end GSMARENA pls publish the best phone for 2009 per Operating system and the best phone over all.
