CNET readers tend to have discriminating tastes when it comes to technology. Since you interact with your gadgets over a long period of time--often a few years--you provide a different perspective for our editors. We update our favorite cell phones every week, but we have to recognize what you like well. Each of these handsets received a user rating of three and a half stars or above from at least 125 readers. Smartphones dominated the list with the AT&T Tilt getting a big nod from 279 readers. Verizon Wireless had three popular phones with the Samsung SCH-i760, the LG Voyager and the LG Dare. And not to be outdone, Sprint can claim two popular handsets with the HTC Touch and the Samsung Instinct.

| The Bottom Line | The AT&T Tilt promises to be the carrier's most powerful smartphone for business users with its full range of wireless options, Windows Mobile 6, and innovative tilt screen. | The Samsung SCH-i760 goes big (literally), delivering a solid set of features and good performance to Verizon customers looking for a business-centric smartphone. | Though we had some minor complaints here and there, the Voyager's sleek design, generous feature set and excellent performance make it the best LG messaging and multimedia phone by far. | The LG Dare is an innovative and feature-rich handset with several surprises that sets it apart from other touch-screen phones. | The HTC Touch cell phone for Sprint boasts an innovative touch screen, a sleek interface, and a nice set of features, but the lack of a sizable keyboard really limits the usability of this device. | The Samsung Instinct stands out as one of Sprint's finest devices to date. It's just too bad its call quality could use some improvement. |
