CNET's Top 6 Cell Phones of 2006

CNET has listed their Top 6 Cell Phones of 2006. Listed below are the phones, CNET's score and the associated ProductCritic score:

1. Sony Ericsson K790a - 8.3 (ProductCritic Score = 86)
2. LG CU500 - 8.3 (ProductCritic Score = 76)
   
3. Nokia 5300 XPress - 8.3 (ProductCritic Score = 82)
4. Sony Ericsson W810i - 8.0 (ProductCritic Score = 87)
5. LG VX8300 - 8.0 (ProductCritic Score = 83)
6. Motorola i850 - 7.3 (ProductCritic Score = 77)

From all the reviews I've read, the best phone is actually the Sony Ericsson W810i (and it would definitely in the running to be my next phone). I think the only real discrepency between CNET and the rest of the reviewers on the net is with the LG CU500 which CNET really likes and which only has an OK ProductCritic Score.

It also must have been a pretty slow year for cell phones for CNET to list a phone with a rating of 7.3 one of their year's best.
