Come on then, what phone?

Its upgrade time now for me, currently have a D500 which does a job but cant say Ive been overly impressed by Smasung. Before that had a couple of symbian Nokias, great for when I worked in the mobile industry as I downloaded a lot of games and applications back then but dont any more.

After something that can act as a music player as well as a phone,so ideally with a reasonable battery life and must have MP£ ringtone capability. Cant be putting up with the slow OS of previous symbian Nokias, have they improved the processors in the new ones?

Notice the N80 and N91 are coming out shortly, and Im prepared to wait a little while for the right phone. Whats the best of the Sony Ericsson Walkman phones, and do they have anything about to launch

Cheers

Sony w900i (or cheaper option W800i)

Thanks, what about the 950i, anyone got any ideas on the release dates?

Can you have mp3 ringtones on SE phones?

Edit - Do I need to worry about networks ruining the os on these?

The bottom deal there looks alright ish doesnt it? Doesnt mention anyhting about 18 months as thats something I want to avoid. Not particularly fussed abiout which network, currently on o2 through one stop who are trying to get me to upgrade.

I think its a toss up between the N80 and the w900/i, might have to pop down to have a look and playe with the w900/i.

Well I just spoke to o2 who Im with now and they didnt seem to think it would be anytime in March, no news on the w900 either. Gonna give it a couple of weeks and ring them back to see if their systems have been updated by then.
