2008 was a critical year for Windows Mobile. Lots of new devices and a slight platform upgrade to WM 6.1. This year's best devices were all about new experiences and Win Mo managed to find some answers to the I-phone experience. Whether it was the 3D TOuchflo experience from HTC Diamond or the X panels on the Xperia or Samsung's Widgets which livened up the Omnia. So here's a list that some WM enthusiasts will agree with and some might disagree with: - Sony Ericsson Experia Xi: Arguably the Windows Mobile Device of the Year and a device that has almost lived upto its pre-launch hype. Great specsheet with a super processor (528 Mhz) and high-rez display. The Panel Interface has added a whole new dimension to Windows Mobile and yet under all the frills is a solid, stable device which offers a near perfect blend of entertainment and business applications
- Samsung i-780: One of the most underrated WM devices but probably one of the best value devices of the year. Stable, good processor, a full QWERTY keyboard and fully loaded. Didn't live upto its potential (Especially in India) because of its unusual screen resolution (320x320) and the Windows 6.1 upgrade that never arrived.
- HTC Touch HD: While the Diamond and Touch Pro didn't live upto the hype on the performance and stability front, the Touch HD has probably been the brightest spark from HTC this year. A 5 MP shooter and a generous 3.8 inch screen and a host of features made sure this phone reached this list.
- Samsung Omnia i900: A terrific attempt from Samsung with a new user interface experience. Large screen, host of entertainment options and a 5 MP shooter (A WM first!) and one of the most talked about devices of the year.

i see you are very gadget orientated but i was thinking of buying the fly e105 phone because it fits into my budget and its feature packed any advice or anything you have to say about the e105
The E105 is a fantastic value-for-money phone. It is less than Rs 9000 but boasts of a 3.15 MP Camera, TOuch Screen and a TV Out (Cable Included in the Original Kit). No GPS though.
