Help me choose a new phone

gary the great

Ok I havent really a clue about the different phones of the moment so need some help.

my nokia N70 is on its last legs and my mp3 screen is smashed, so im thinking of getting a phone that I can use as an Mp3 player, phone and decent enough camera.

I have 2-400 to spend and it needs to have an Fm radio and be able to have at least 8gigs (mostly for music).

So after a bit of research it looks like my options are:

the iphone (no radio though, crap camera and apparently it cant take videos?)

The 8gig N95 - its a bit of a brick though....

The Samsung Tocco - it seems to tick all the boxes, could i put an 8gig micro SD into this? if I can does it take ages to load up each time?

The LG viewty - nice price, seems to tick all the boxes to, and same as above can it be loaded with an 8gig micro SD?

Is there any other phones out there that im forgetting?
Do the screens on the touch phones get easily broken?

Any other help would be appreciated.....

Thanks for the replies so far guys, just googled these and to be honest their not really the type of phone im after...but thanks anyway.

As for the sony ericsonn, not a chance. Never again will I buy a sony ericcson,ive had 2 of them in my life and both broke within 6months of use. Swore id never buy one again and im sticking with that....

If the LG can only hold 2gigs then it probably isnt much use to me, dam as this was leading the pack. I may get this and then buy a seperate mp3 player a as well instead though...for E189 it seems a bargain and cowan have brought out a new mp3 player that i like the look of

Just had a look at the N78 and i like it, would rather a touch screen but this is certainly a contendor.

Tocco in front so far though...anyone know of any other phones in the pipeline that would tick all the boxes?

have a look at the nokia N85 - all the advantages of the N95, but smaller and a better screen and battery.

Didn't like the LG Viewty as a phone, too many irritations for me. As for the 2GB thing, it can be got round. I had a 8GB card in mine, and it worked grand as long as you had less than 2gb free on it.

Like that to and would rather stick with a Nokia, how are these phones as music players anyway? Are they nearly as good as a dedicated mp3 player?
And what would be the cheapest place to buy them, Im with O2 but can change to meteor. Sim free costs lots extra doesnt it?

I'd say the Tocco is the one to go for, it will work with an 8GB Micro SD.
