Some phones are getting more expensive but it's fine as long as they are feature rich, with most wanted features like programmable ringtones, MP3 players or advanced organizer functions. I have selected three of the most exceptional phones of the year 2001 and tried them. Here they are:

	Sanyo SCP-5000 "Color screen phone and polyphonic ringtones. A pure marvel!"
	Samsung SPH-M100 "Finally a good music-enabled phone"
	Kyocera QCP-6035 "Very nice but bulky"
