We've reached a point where feature phones are nearly as smart as smartphones, and in some key areas (like their cameras), they even BEAT smartphones. Let's take a look at three of the best.
Samsung Jet
The Samsung Jet is all about one thing: speed. And to make it mind-bendingly quick, the Samsung Jet has a processor running at 800MHz, faster than just about any other phone currently on sale. Combine that with a beautiful 3D 'Cubic' interface, and the Samsung Jet becomes a true work of art, that's both easy and rewarding to use. As for features, you get a 5MP camera, and lightning fast internet access, making the Samsung Jet the obvious choice if you want a non-smartphone that's nearly as powerful as a true smartphone.
LG Viewty Smart
There's a phone out there that fits the phrase 'phone that's nearly a smartphone, without actually being a smartphone': the aptly named LG Viewty Smart. Following on from the original Viewty, the LG Viewty Smart follows the same design ethos of having a touchscreen only interface (the awesome S-Class interface), squeezed into a slim body, but it ups the ante with a superb 8MP camera. It also has HSDPA, making it a truly portable internet device. Put simply, the LG Viewty Smart is the smartest non-smartphone in the world, and it's largely down to the interface. Built around a 3D cube, S-Class gives the LG Viewty a user-friendly and sleek interface, it is designed to be simple and intuitive.
Samsung Pixon 12
The Samsung Jet impresses with its fast processor, and the LG Viewty Smart is clearly an excellent camera phone. But what if there was a camera with an insanely powerful 12MP camera available? That's exactly what you get with the Samsung Pixon 12. The Samsung Pixon 12 is also a truly beautiful mobile phone, and there's no doubt it produces much better photos than any other phone out there. And then, of course, there's that huge touchscreen, and that slick interface, making for one incredibly sexy and lovable mobile phone. At the end of the day, it's going to come down to what you want from the phone, but if you want the best camera, the only choice is the Samsung Pixon 12.
