Exciting Touch-Screen Smartphones

Smartphones are all the rage in the mobile market, and it's touch-screen smartphones that have made the biggest splash. Apple's iPhone 3GS has hogged much of the limelight in this space, but there remains plenty of valid alternatives for those who want to let their fingers do the talking.

Without further ado, here are top five touch-screen smartphones (not in any significant order) from around the world.
