Top 15 hottest cell phonesBy Sindre Lia, 25 May 2008
The touchscreen phones keep shaking up the cell phone market, but quite a few of the tiny music phone kind seem to be fairing pretty well too.

Sprint is building up to one heck of a fight with AT&T's 3G iPhone this summer, a fight that the Instinct will likely loose so badly. Since Samsung's Glyde failed to impress in extensive testing, it'll certainly be interesting to see whether Samsung's Instinct will go in the opposite direction and take us by storm.
