Which Mobile for this road warrior?

[-Hotplate-]

Hi All,

Its like this....My employer provides me with a basic phone, currently its a 6230i.
I also have a full car kit, which is also Bluetooth.

I have a company Laptop too which i now sync Outlook with my phone. So i carry all my contacts details with me. Which makes programming the Sat Nav a whole lot easier.

Thing is something has gone wrong with the phone since i started to use the Phone memory and sync my contacts, it hardly ever recognises a number now and tells me who it is, even though all contact names are there.

Anyways, i am looking to buy a phone better than this for mainly work use.
The features i am looking for are a decent camera on the phone, and decent communication with Outlook.

i'm not bothered about emails, i will do that on the laptop. I want to see all the other stuff in Outlook, notes, calender, contacts etc.

We are contracted to Vodafone, but the mobile i buy will be unlocked.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

For personal use I've been very impressed with the Nokia e65 (I went from a Samsung Z500 though so doh!) and it has proper support for connecting to WPA/TKIP encrypted wireless networks.

I've got it setup so that when I roam from Home > Girlfriends > Work > Mates house its constantly connecting to a wi-fi network and pulling my emails down along with my rss feeds which is nice to have

Plus you can transfer lots of java apps to it and then install them.

I found getting use to a symbian OS again a bit confusing but once you work it all out its fine.

Also its one of the better slide phones as it doesnt have a stupid lip at the bottom of the keypad which stops you from pressing the bottom row.

On the box itself it says its designed for Vodaphone business and also talks about intergration with outlook and exchange. I'd speak with your ICT department and see what they've got setup. With our mobile provider at work if we want to demo a unit we can usually just get hold of a 30 day eval of a handset.
