It's Christmas and one of the top things that is on everyone's Christmas list is of course: mobile phones. Thanks to the iPhone, touch screen mobile phones have been gaining popularity since last year. Here are just some of the touch screen mobile phones or iPhone alternatives that you might be interested in.

Samsung Omnia

Reviews of the Samsung Omnia say that this phone really has everything though it's not really has responsive and as fast as the iPhone. But 5 megapixel camera with face detection, smile detection, and autofocus? That has to be something.

Sprint Instinct

Another popular iPhone alternative in the US is the Sprint Instinct or Samsung Instinct. A comparison of Sprint Instinct and iPhone reveals that though the Sprint Instinct comes up on top in terms of feature, user interface and overall performance still goes to the iPhone.

Blackberry Storm

The blogosphere is saying that the Blackberry Storm is REALLY the next iPhone killer. However, from the different Blackberry Storm Reviews on the Internet, users are split about the new clickthrough technology. Some actually love it while others hated it. Still, it's the only capacitive touch screen phone other than the iPhone on the market today.

LG Cookie, LG KS20 and LG KC910

The LG Cookie and the LG KC910 lives on separate ends of the mobile phone market. According to the LG Cookie reviews, this phone is aimed at the mid-range market but is probably the cheapest touch screen mobile phone in existence. The LG KC910 on the other hand is aimed at the high end market. Reviews of the LG KC910 shows that this is LG's first 8 megapixel camera so that means price for this phone would surpass most of our budgets. The good news is that there's the LG KS20 that's right in the middle. The LG KS20 has been in the market for some time now so price for this phone has probably dropped. Probably not as cheap as the LG Cookie but if you have a few more bucks to spare, then the LG KS20 is a good alternative.
