Ive always liked buttons (as opposed to touch screens), however I love my mates Ipod Touch. Ive asked for one for Xmas but the missus says why not go for a touch screen phone that has decent memory (I only need 8gb or so) so its all in one tidy package. It seems to be the way to go tbh, but Im still not sold on these touch keypad things.

Is there a phone out there that will do the following -

Decent MP3 player with built in / ability to expand memory to 8gb or beyond
Good for browsing internet (the bigger the screen the better)
Nice keypad, either a touch qwerty or a foldout qwerty or number pad (if its buttons not fussed on the keypad)
Decent camera, at least as good as my N95 8GB (5mp carl zeiss)

Think thats it. My request for a decent camera pretty much means I wont be entertaining an Iphone, they look cool but are too expensive for what they are, im looking to pay £20 a month on a contract (going down from £35 a month, contract up in March so early days yet)

N86, not as bulky as the N97 but with just as much functionality. touch screens are shite imo as you end up with a greasy screen all the time.


I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Greasy screen you're not supposed to wipe your dick on it.

Can't say my htc gets greasy/dirty tbh.

I use my 5800 as a music player as my old 3rd gen iPod doesn't hold much charge any more Comes with an 8GB card and you can get bigger ones 3rd party, is pretty good for internet (has WiFi, 3.5G and all sorts of other things) and you can have a full screen QWERTY touch keyboard. The camera is fairly good for a phone one but personally I'm not bothered about that as I use my proper camera primarily for pictures, so the phone camera is used for on-the-spot things when I don't have my camera on me. It's not going to take award winning pics, but N95 cameras aren't the best things ever either. If you like I can post up a full-size image.

Also I have it on a £20 contract, 200 mins and unlimited texts, or I think there's one where you can get loads of minutes and not many texts. They may have also changed the packages by now because I've had it since March.

HTC Magic with 16gb memory card.

Can store loads of music let alone the podcast application and internet radio.

Seems daft to buy, carry and charge two separate things!
