• Asus P565 - This PDA phone, from Taiwanese gadget maker Asus, boasts an 800 megahertz processor and 128 megabytes of RAM. At its launch last November, the company dubbed it the fastest phone in the world.
• BlackBerry Bold - What's the fastest BlackBerry on the market? Based on processing speed, it's the Bold. The AT&T device has a 624 megahertz processor and 128 megabytes of memory. Other BlackBerrys, including the new Tour and the touch-screen Storm, have 528 megahertz processors.
• HTC Imagio - HTC makes a number of high-end phones, some using Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system, others with Google's Android mobile platform. The company is more consistent in its choice of processors. Most of its phones, including its latest, the multimedia-focused Imagio, use Qualcomm's 528 megahertz processors.
• IPhone 3GS - In June, when Apple unveiled its newest iPhone, the 3GS, it noted that the "S" in the name stood for "speed." True to its name, the 3GS' processor runs at 600 megahertz, compared to 412 megahertz in previous models and packs 256 megabytes of RAM, up from 128 megabytes before
• Palm Pre - Palm designed its flagship smart phone, the Pre, to support multitasking between several open applications. Palm chose Texas Instruments' 600 megahertz OMAP 3 platform to provide the necessary horsepower. Palm's latest smart phone, the Pixi, also uses OMAP 3 architecture.
• Samsung 360 H1 - Samsung's H1 is a showcase for operator Vodafone's new "360" social networking service. The feature aims to gather a user's contacts--whether on the phone, Facebook or e-mail--into one address book. A 600 megahertz processor helps the device keep up with the constant stream of information.
• Samsung Jet - Like the iPhone 3GS, the Samsung Jet was named to highlight its speed. The company says the device's 800 megahertz processor makes Web browsing faster and improves video playback.
• Samsung Omnia HD - When Samsung introduced its Omnia HD phone last February, it was the first handset that could record video in high definition (720p). A 600 megahertz processor helps the device process images and multimedia quickly.
• Sony Satio - Sony Ericsson's highest-end phone, the Satio, is mostly known for its 12.1 megapixel camera. A 600 megahertz processor helps the phone support sophisticated camera features.
• Toshiba TG01 - The fastest phone in the world, based on processor speed, may be the Toshiba TG01. It's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon platform, which has a 1 gigahertz CPU. The TG01, which is only available in Europe and Japan, will have rivals soon; Qualcomm says more Snapdragon smart phones will launch before the end of the year.

Not one Nokia on the list...
