Time for a new Phone
Hey Everyone

Well the time has come for me to upgrade my phone, I currently have a Nokia N73 and im with O2. Now im happy with O2 so im not looking to switch networks. Been having a look around at new phones and also the iPhone (probably the 8GB version).

The things id like in my phone are:

Radio
GPS (if possible)
Good Camera
Expandable memory for music
Touchscreen (if possible)

Now my initial look has narrowed my choices to:

Samsung Tocco
LG Viewty
iPhone

Can you recommend any others or have any comments on the above?

Thanks for your comments guys!

The UI is just too clunky
compare to what I'm used to and
the stylus pen keyring is annoying to use.

fingers.)

Re: Time for a new Phone
Ive been thinking the iPhone offers the best compromise for what I want, ie. Touchscreen/GPS/Music playability etc.... Though it doesn't have a Radio function!?!?

Would save me buying an iPod too!

Out of the list, the new 3G iphone wins hands down

The upcoming SE Xperia might be worth a look
