10. INQ1 Facebook phone
Yes, the INQ1. We're almost as surprised to see it here as you are. But the INQ1 really is a fantastic budget option, which serves a specific purpose and does it well.
And since we're trying to include a fair range of good handsets instead of just turning this into an Apple/HTC blowout, the INQ1 rightly deserves its place.
The INQ1 is more commonly referred to as the Facebook phone, and is built around the concept of keeping you up to date with your social networking needs.
More specifically, the INQ1 comes loaded with Facebook, Last.fm, Skype and Windows Live integration. And for under £100, it's one of the best budget phonese and a veritable bargain.

14. nitebot - 'The UK didn't have a national or even regional radio mobile phone network.'
I don't know how old 'nitebot' is but we had an automatic Radiophone System 4 network operational in London, in the summer of 1981. The coverage was extended to major population areas by 1983. We had a manual Radiophone System 1 in 1959 in South Lancashire and was later extended to cover London. Later there was System 2 which used 9 channels. System 3 used auto scanning 55 channel mobile but call were still connected by the operator. Automatic Radiophone system 4 ran till 1989 as celluar system took over with its base station handover capabilty. The rest is history as they say...

In America, you had the radio mobile phone before the cellular mobile phone, and handsets were known as 'mobile phones.' The UK didn't have a national or even regional radio mobile phone network.
When cellular mobile phone networks were created in America, it was decided to use the shorthand term 'cell phone' to distinguish handsets from the radio 'mobile phones.' But in the UK, the cell phone network was the first mobile network and so we just started calling handsets mobile phones.

And by the by, cell phone is short for cellular mobile. Check your Websters.

And how do the 'planes fly in your part of the world, because there is no such thing as "aluminum". And did you read Harry potter and the philosopher's stone, or Harry Potter and the Magic Boulder or whatever words you used to dumb it down.
