Mobiledia editors see a lot of phones. And every quarter, they ask themselves, "What cell phones would we want to slip in our own pockets?" Scouring the latest mobile devices on the market, special attention was paid to design, features, functions, as well as value. What they came up with in the end was the Mobiledia Editors' Choice Award for best overall cell phones.

Not every cell phone is right for everyone, and that's why the Editors' Choice list is so diverse. Considering a wide variety of demographics, the best devices were chosen in a broad range to ensure everyone can find a cell phone that best fits them, from the businessman on the road to the party animal in the club.

Cell phones chosen for the Editors' Choice Award were selected from devices at the time of release. Thus older phones may be lacking compared to newer devices. Please make note of the release date.
