A new survey recently found that men think their phones are sexy, or at least, many think that a hip phone will make them more attractive to the opposite sex.

A new survey recently found that men think their phones are sexy, or at least, many think that a hip phone will make them more attractive to the opposite sex. Significantly fewer women agreed, but as a geek girl, I may have to contend that some of the phones out there are a little bit sexy.

So, in honor of Valentine's Day, here's a little homage to some of the sexiest phones out there. Check them out and cast your vote after the break.

Conan Loves Twitter, the BlackBerry Torch

Current social media aficionado Conan O'Brien tweeted live for the first time during the East Coast broadcast of his show last night.

Current social media aficionado Conan O'Brien tweeted live for the first time during the East Coast broadcast of his show last night. Besides pimping Twitter all evening long, Conan and his partner in crime, Andy Richter, promoted the new BlackBerry Torch big time. It was like a three-minute ad for AT&T's Torch, which is running the latest BlackBerry OS 6 and recently went on sale during Best Buy's free phone Fridays. I guess all the annoyances of video ads have him incorporating advertisements in his show?
