I am looking for a new phone but I want certain features but can't find the best way to find out what phone has what I want.

I want
1) MP3 player
2) Slot for CF or SD cards to hold music
3) Radio (not headset radio, actually on the phone)

Optional

4) Camera
5) PDA functions (e-mail, address book etc..)

Generally I want something smallish and not over €350

Any recommendations would be nice

nokia 6230 might do the trick and you would pick one up on boards for about 150 squid

You have described the Sony Ericsson K750i almost exactly, it is the perfect match to your needs:

Expansys have it for €389, but I believe other sites on the net have it for €350

Yes, the K750i is king

It's retailing sim free for about 350 - 400, but Meteor will be bringing it out soon on their plans for under 200

THe sony doesn't use SD or CF it uses the more expensive sony only dual memory sticks.
The nokia seems to not take them either but the extra small MMC cards

It looks like the sharp is the right one except it doesn't seem to have a radio. Anybody know how the memory card fits in? Is it one where you need to open the phone?

That looks like a really really really nice phone! Pixmania have it for €362 + shipping. http://www.pixmania.com/ie/uk/95660/art/sony-ericsson/k750i.html#

edit: I've been looking at some reviews and samples from the k750i and I SO WANT THIS PHONE!
