    As the title says im looking for a new phone.
    Basiclly my phone just doesnt cut it it for me. Currently have iphone + C902
    So im looking for a phone that is good for music and takes decent quality pics and vids all other stuff is really an extra bonus. at least a 3.2 camera.
    So far im tossing up between the SE W902 and the Nokia N85. would take a
    N96 if it was a bit cheaper and the nokia 5800 tube aint out yet so any one got any other suggestions and help me choose

    I'm gonna suggest a c905. 8 megapixel camera, wifi, 3g, supports plenty of memory. I'll have my paws on one within the next few weeks when o2 uk launch then and may write up some impressions here.

    May I suggest the Samsung Tocco (F480) - The 5 Megapixel camera is the best I've ever seen on a phone and offers an unreal amount of features, it's really very good. Also, it's a Touchscreen interface and it very good with media, easy to use and relatively cheap for what your getting.

    I'm currently interested in the Nokia N85 as well as the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. The Nokia N85 should be more akin to what you're looking for and the C905 looks pretty good too.

    Anyone here use the samsung innov8? Looks to be a class phone, only worry is it might be too big, its between that and the n85 for me

    You are not fussy at all :p

    I have the C902 and one of the best phones I have ever had.

    Well in this day and age these requirements are not hard or at least should no be hard to get on mid to high end phones

    Yeah its a good phone, good camera but just looking for a nice multimedia phone not just camera focused a good all rounder or more towards music.

    C905 just a beefed up C902 (in size and specs) nothing to really draw me to it but a dam nice phone and as said before camera is not my main focus, plus can get the N85 for the same price or maybe less as nokias tend to be cheaper.
    N95 8 gb is being replaced by n85 so cant justify it.
    Se X1 nice but dam expensive.
    So looks like ill hold out for the N85 and see what price ill have to pay for it in a few weeks time when i get paid.

    Cheers for the replies

    Looks smart, liking the big the on screen keyboard, http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/ , I think it's one of most important features of any touch screen/3g phone.... it's one niggle with the LG Renoir, the keyboard was too small if you've big hands... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SadV1RLL4XE the lg viewtys on screen keyboard was just about big enough..... http://dailymobile.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/lg-viety-ku990-keypad-qwerty-keyboard.jpg

    yeah to be honest found it good to use but have no problem using a number pad. the touch screen and internet the only nice thing about the iphone IMO its more an ipod touch with phone, text and a cheap camera nothing more. Mutton dressed as lamb
    I would stick with the C905 if i was you
