EISA, the European Imaging and Sound Awards have just met to dish out the awards for the best phones of 2009/2010. The awards were judged by a panel of experts from over 50 of the best known tech magazines across Europe.
The award for Best Camera Phone was given to Samsung and this had been expected. However, people were expecting the award to be given for their Pixon 12, which boasts a whopping 12 megapixel camera crammed full of features like smile detection, xenon flash and geo-tagging. Instead the award went to the i8910 Omnia HD due to its ability to record HD video, 8 megapixels at 24fps making it the only phone to do so.
The title of Best Business Phone was awarded to the Nokia E75 due to its ability to handle just about every business need thrown at it. It had also been praised for its durable battery life and solid build quality.
For Best Music Phone Sony Ericsson managed to snap up an award with their W995. Sony have a long history in working with music entertainment and this rubs off on their phones. The W995 is not perhaps the most feature crammed Sony Ericsson device, but it had been praised by EISA due to its brining a wide range of innovative features to music lovers at an affordable price.
The title of Best European Smartphone was awarded to the iPhone 3GS and this came as no great shock. While many rival companies have tried their hardest to come up with the long overdue ‘iPhone Killer’, it seems that none have quite managed it so far.
