It was about a year and a half ago that Apple’s original iPhone appeared on the scene and we did the Top Ten List of iPhone Killers. This time around, we pit the second-gen iPhone 3G against some of the best technology we have seen from other leaders in the mobile industry during the last six months. While all of them look drool-worthy in their own right, most of them lack one functionality that the original iPhone and iPhone 3G still boast about: multitouch.

After last year’s tremendous success, Sony Ericsson is reviving its World View online competition to take a look at that perfect picture snapped on a cameraphone. As part of this global event, Sony Ericsson has launched a new portal where users can upload their photos, build up a social network, share images with other members, get tips from world-class photogs while getting to know Sony Ericsson’s latest cameraphone lineup.

With over 70,000 people putting up entries the last time, we could expect many more to participate this time around, given the improvement (even if marginal) in the power of camera lens on a cell phone. A panel of judges will decide who gets the lucky chance to win a trip worth €12,500 while another winner will be chosen based upon the number votes his/her photograph garners with €6,250 worth trip at stake. Too bad the C905 will only become available in the fourth quarter!
