Default Favourite mobile at the moment?

Hey guys, need a new phone for work, prefer something relatively small, what tickles your fancy out there at the moment?
The iPhone just seems a bit too cumbersome for my liking......
Was thinking about W995 - specifically because it is quite small

Be interested to hear you tech heads opinions on options tho.
Cheers Al

i have the nokia 6220.

standard candybar style phone, small in size, big in features. Basically a N95 in non slide/chunky format. Only thing it's missing is WiFi.

I am after something that has a half decent camera, mp3 player and not too chunky. Having never surfed the net on a phone I am not sure what the internet capabilities of these new phones are like so I guess if the additional functions are worth it I may have to sacrifice on size a bit.

the iphone imo is a waste.. especially if you have fat fingers. I'm sticking with the Sony Ericsson range of phones. Currently have a m600i. but will look at the Xperia. Slidedown qwerty keyboard makes it easier with sms. Has all the usual functions like internet access, etc. not too bulky aswell.

Well, the nokia 6220 has 5mp camera, which i use for taking pics all the time (for work)

It has expandable memory (mini SD card) so you can store some songs, but its not really a 'mp3 phone' but it does an ok job.

I've got 2x Nokia 6120s, ones my work phone ones mine. takes photos, plays MP3s, will bounce when dropped and you just pick it up and keep using it again.
In my opinon, if you want to be "connected on the go" get a laptop

Yeah I'm with you Mat, I really wonder how good a phone can be for the net... but I am not a tech nerd by any stretch of the imagination either.
