If you're looking for a smartphone that's got smarts, sex appeal and a price tag that doesn't bother you, here's a list you won't want to miss.

Super Sexy Smartphones

I’ve been told by quite a few people wishing to buy new high-end handsets, that’s it’s not just the functionality that’s important; looks also play a big part. I have to agree to quite an extent. I mean who wants to walk around with a big bulky handset that does everything but looks like it’s just like it were just a run-of-the-mill, generic device. Elegancy, styling and cutting edge looks are as important in today’s superficial day and age and I say, if you’re paying that much money for it, it had damn well look good! Here’s my list of Super Sexy Smartphones that are loaded with functionality and ooze sex appeal as well. 


Prices included are best prices or Market Operating Prices and may differ depending on your location and dealer.

Sony Ericsson Arc - Rs. 28,499
The Arc is seriously sexy looking handset with its smooth curved rear panel and chromed edges and an all black bezel that blends perfectly with the scratch resistant display. It uses Sony’s Bravia Mobile engine to enhance the visual capacity of the display making the colors richer and the textures sharper. A visual feast, if you will. The Arc is also a very light weight handset with buttons and key placements very well thought out. The handset will come with Gingerbread aka Android 2.3 out of the box and has a 1 GHZ processor under its hood.

HTC Incredible S - Rs. 28,000
With a macho styling that’s both unique and well designed, the Incredible S is one that fares well in the looks department.

The handset comes with FroYo out of the box that runs on a 1 GHz Scorpion processor and features HTC’s Sense UI with HTCSense.com for added functionality. The 8MP camera is preloaded with handy and fun settings to get capture all kinds of moments in style.
