The best smartphones of the summer

Infosync World rounds up its 15 top smartphones. The most remarkable thing to come out of it is the fact that all but two of them have no carrier, and are sold unlocked. Pictured is the Samsung Omnia, because you've seen enough of the XPERIA and the Touch Pro and the damned iPhone.

So how does this work ? You just buy one, pop your SIM card inside and it just works, or you need to pay extra to activate all the functions that go beyond the 'basic phone' setup ?

More or less, yes. Once you leave the GSM world and SIM cards, it becomes much harder to move phones from one carrier to another. For example, Sprint will generally only activate phones it sells you -- you can't get a cheapie from a sprint-reselling MVNO and then take it to sprint.

Infosync loses mega-points for forcing me to click on each individual phone to read the review. Shameless Ad-whoring assholes.

There's a few things on my unlocked nokia 5300 that still don't work. I'd like to flash it but I'm not so sure how I'd do that.
