    HI
    I'm looking at changing phones soon. Currently have a Motorola V3. Have had it 3 years and it was OK. Had only Nokias before that (7110, 8110, 8310 etc). I would have stuck with Nokia too except for the fact that back then they had bluetooth on hardly any phones and they refused to make flip phones.

    All the phones on the market now seem to be a disimprovement to me compared to what was available a few years ago (i.e. battery life, size etc)

    Can anyone recommend a decent phone that has the following specs

    Good battery life (this i consider to be very important)
    Bluetooth
    Small size (- stylish looking helps too.)
    Preferably flip or slide - don't really like brick shaped phones.

    I was thinking about the Krzr but it seems to have a few bad reviews. (The V3 had ****e software initially and I don't believe the KRZR has improved much?)
    The Samsung sliders also look interesting but everywhere I read opinions on them it seems to call out very bad battery life.

    Looking for feedback from real users if possible - I have checked online but there is too much review info on the web which is rubbish (i.e. phones reviewed by people who don't even own them)

    Opinions please?

    Battery life ain't what it used to be. These days having a camera and bluetooth equal about 2 days usage time. Only phones without camera, without bluetooth and lesser screen (e.g. not 65k colours etc) will give better battery life - e.g. Nokia 1600, 2310, Samsung X210, Motorola W208 etc etc.

    Flip phone don't seem to be a big thing right now, not a lot of new releases especially from Nokia. The Nokia 6085 might suit if a VGA camera is okay. Good enough battery, bluetooth, smallish, flip.

    From samsung the E900 is nice. Try it out first, see what you think of the touch controls.
