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.

If you do use much email, than my input might be relevant to you.

I would say my blackberry bold serve me well with reliable internet/email access plus a huge storage of video/pics/mp3 (depending on your external memory). Phone might be chunky compare to your normal phone, you might have to get use to the size. As for the processing speed, its way faster than both my previous HTC phone combined together. This is my fav phone to date, love my blackberry!!

Downside is that work expects you to work 24/7.

Yeah I agree. If you are going to use the Iphone primarily as a phone then yeah give it a miss. But if like me you use quite a few apps on the Iphone, watch movies, listen to music etc then it's fantastic.

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.
