I have had a Nokia 6600 and now got a Nokia 7610.

Both do everthing (and have bluetooth)

The 6600 is a bit more robust and now been around for a while so will be cheap to get.

The 7610 has smaller buttons, looks weird but has a Hi res camera
and can record long video clips (over 10 minutes per video).

I have an Orange SPV C-500 and wouldn't swap it for anything.

Full on internet access, bluetooth. Mobile windows. Media player and it Syncronises Outlook with your PC so you can keep all your numbers safe on your PC and pick up all your e-mails. Plus a pretty good video and camera with a large screen for a small phone

Best phone at present is the newly released Sharp 902 on Voda 3G. It's not a brilliant size, but other than that one issue it has a 2 megapixel camera, memory card slot, mp3 player, video camera, bluetooth etc etc etc.

It's Ł100+ on contract still tho. But I'm having one soon as poss. Pisses on everything else

I'm in the same boat at the moment so suggestions are welcome.

Currently have a P900 but it is now outdated and far too big/heavy!

I have decided I don't use many of the features on it at all only really use WAP/GPRS for email and mobile MSN very rarely.

Criteria are these:

Must be small + light (thin primarily for going in the pocket!)
Must have keys (use a touchscreen phone for a year and you will agree with me on this!)
And be pretty bling!!

Thats all I can think of, radio is a bonus too I guess!

At the moment the Motorola V3 Razor thing is tops but its been out a good few months now and I don't want o buy anything old hat!! I've looked at all the manufacturer sites and can't find anything else decent coming out soon

SE P900 - 115 x 57 x 24 mm
Nokia 6230 - 103 x 44 x 20 mm
Nokia 6260 - 102 x 49 x 23 mm
Motorola V3 RAZR - 98 x 53 x 13.9 mm

I was looking at the 6230 a year ago before I got the P900 but Nokia were too slow That's proper old!
