Top 5 best cell phones

by Tom Merritt

Cell phones are the hottest tech items of the year, and one of the most frequent questions we get at CNET is: what's the best phone?

We conferred with Mr. Kent German, who sees every phone created, and worked up a list to count down. And don't forget you can post an answer to the lame prize question in the comments for a chance to win the signed iPhone cases! So watch the show and come back.

He has a CNET issued Blackberry Curve. And I believe he still has his EnV as well.

For work he uses a Company issued Blackberry Curve 8900, which (as he mentioned on Twitter) he would not trust for life saving situations!
