Im due my upgrade in 2 weeks and unsure which phone to go for.

currently using a nokia e71, its the only phone ive never actually been bored of before contract due for renewal, its never broken, easy to use, easy to personalise and for what i use it for, works well, needs charging about once every 3 days, even with hoards of texts and using internet etc.

Main uses for phone -

I use it for work far more than personal, so will receive lots of calls ( need decent battery life )
Need to be able to text on it pretty efficiently ( i like Qwerty keyboards)
Need to be able to have auto retrieving email functions
A camera that is semi-decent
Able to send large group texts ( i send a group text to between 80-100 people a week usually in one go on the nokia )
I need to be able to schedule it to send messages for me ( its an app i cant live without)

Any suggestions? Im on T-mobile dont want to change service provider, and want a phone that is going to last the duration of the contract and not wear out.

Thanks

i was thinking of the e72, but i dont know if should just steer away from my comfort zone, if i can find any other good spec phone with good apps etc, i feel like im missing out with things like the iphone4 and galaxyS, are these any good for what i need?

Camera wise I would suggest either the Sony Ericsson Satio (12meg) or the Nokia N8 also has 12megapixle camera.
I have the Satio and you can have a full qwerty keyboard on it (its what I use) and the camera is really good.
Not sure on what other spec they have to what you are after, but you could always look them up and make your own judgement

Don't even consider an iphone4 for doing what you want to do with it, you will be charging it twice a day. Samsung galaxyS's are supposed to be very good although have never used one so can't personally comment. All touch screen phones use more battery power so try and get one with buttons if possible.

As you say you are happy with nokias and they do everything you want them to do, so stick with them.

sounds exactly like my other half, she too has a e71 and is due for an upgrade, and fells like shes missing out on all the touch screen stuff, she is looking at the blackberry torch 9800, but i know very little about it, and dont know anyone with experiance of one, it is full touch screen , but you can slide out a key board very simular to the e71s when needed

i dont like slide phones, ive been tempted today by the blackberry bold 9780? looks very similar to the e72

The GalaxyS battery is rubbish, but is a good phone

Lee has it, so thats a no no if battery life isnt great, and tbh i think its a nice phone but im still edging towards the actual qwerty buttoned phones....

Blackberrys are good but misses has had 3 in about 2 years due to faults, and this one that she's had for 9 months has keyboard issues from time to time
