    Im heading to Oz after christmas. Looking for the best phone to bring with me. Would like a good camera, gps and good connectivity. I know this sounds like an N95. Wondering what yer opinions are on it and could ye recommend any handset?

    Cheers

    Sony Ericsson K800i is a good phone, takes good photos and has come down a fair bit in price recently

    The only problem with the N95 is the battery life isn't great which might be a problem if you're traveling around a lot and don't have access to a wall socket.

    New n95 perhaps? the 8gig version with different battery.

    i know you said a camera phone but would you consider a decent camera AND a phone? would cost less then the n95 and you would most likely get better pics from your trip and you could also buy a decent 2mp camera phone maybe on "3" network which you can use in oz at same rates as here?!

    N95 FTW!!!

    I have a travelling job, writing this from Seattle at the moment and haeding to Africa in a week. The N95 really makes it so much easier for me.

    I have saved an absolute fortune with the N95, I use its VOIP features with Truphone I can call frinds for free when there is an internet connection. I also use the wifi capabilities all the time to check emails, send free texts with aft. Its an amazing phone. It's only downsides in my opinion are: A little low on RAM and battery life!

    Happy shopping!
