Today's Miss Universe 2011 pageant in Sao Paulo, Brazil today is about the curves, packaging, and brains. Women from 89 countries will have to convince the jury of nine that they deserve to be Miss Universe. But at the end of the night, only one will be crowned Miss Universe.

The high-end smartphone market has attracted device makers due to its high margins and skyrocketing demand. With tens of smartphone models available today, who will emerge the winner if we send each handset to a contest where their beauty and talent will be judged?

Of course the iPhone 5 might not be part of the show because it never showed up. But sexy phones released (or to be released) this year like the HTC Titan, the Samsung Galaxy Note, the BlackBerry curve, the Nokia N9, and the Motorola Droid will surely be there.

Let the device-makers bringing the phones answer this question, "What for you is the essence of being a smartphone?"

After the Q&A portion, let's find out who deserves to be crowned Miss Universe. But of course, what matters most to us is what our readers think. Just place your answers at the comment box below.
