The European Imaging and Sound Association held an awards ceremony, where usually Nokia is always present. This time the three companies mentioned in title took most of the awards.

LG Electronics phones won't win any prize, but an MP3 player, the LG - T80, and a home theathre system, LG XH-TK953TV,  will be crowned the best in their category.

HTC takes the award for the Touch Diamond in the European smart phone category, as it's one of the "hottest Windows Mobile devices of 2008".

The Samsung SGH-G810 stole the crown from Nokia, and we can see that many Samsung S60 devices will do the same in the future, such as the upcoming INNOV8. The G810 was the preferred European photo phone by the association. What I've seen clearly from its younger brother G800, the quality is terrible, so I trust the G810's camera is much different than the one from the G800.

Finally the Sony Ericsson W980 took the European music phone award. It does have quite a sleek design, and is regarded as the best Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson yet released.

I am impressed that the N82 and N96 didn't win any award, as their specifications are quite advanced.
