Readers of gadget magazine T3 have voted w810 as the best mobile phone. But w810 does not seem to be coming to cingular until late september. Going unlocked is tempting. The price of unlocked phones also have come down.

If it is unlocked it will be convenient for me to use in India as well. All the news today is on verizon introducing the LG chocolate. That also looks good. But it does not have a good camera.

The lowest price for w810 is around $300. It is funny to see how different stores write arbitrary numbers and then strike that out to put a lower number and call the difference as savings. The price at sonyericcson website is $499. No “savings” there. Amazon strikes out $599 and puts the price as $379. There is also another seller at amazon who strikes out $799 and puts $463. That is definitely big savings there. In ebay it goes between $300 and $350. Hmm, I will wait little more for the savings to improve.
