    I'm looking for a new smartphone, have a Blackberry Bold 9000 which I have never used and don't plan on using as I can get a much better data plan elsewhere

    I'm looking for an exchange on adverts for this, and was thinking an Android phone, something like a Htc, or xperia x10 maybe? What is a Google g1 like?

    Other than this I'd take a second hand iphone, or something like a Nokia e71 or 5800

    I ahve a Nokia e63 which does most of what I want to do, but would prefer maybe a few more apps than Symbian offers. (it is locked to Meteor also unfortunately)

    What features are important to you in a phone? (i.e. camera, gps, FM radio, Stereo Bluetooth) Mainly will be using it for Internet, and also apps like Skype ebuddy / Facebook if possible. Anything else os a bonus but not essential

    Form factor - Qwerty or Touchscreen preferred, not a big issue though

    Internet - must have 3g, wifi preferred too

    Operator - unlocked or easily unlockable (I live abroad)

    Pre-pay/Bill-pay/SIM-Free - Sim free

    Budget (on adverts) - €150ish / swap for new Blackberry

    You might be better off not looking over there, My bro has never looked up anything about his phone, couldn't care less about rooting, roms, 2.2 this etc. Ignore the internet and enjoy your phone. ;)
