Trying to decide on which phone I should get

Has to be bluetooth, camera, tri-band ideally additional (or reasonable amount of memory) and preferably a flip phone

narrowed it down to a few

P800 - nice features, bit big tho
Motoral MPx200
Panasonic X70 -are these out yet?
LG 7100
Sony Ericsson Z600

Cheers for any help


edited to add www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk seem to have some good deals on phones, anyone had any experience of them?

I have recently got a P800 and i am still trying to learn all the features but i would say after years of Nokia's that as a phone it is not as easy to use as a Nokia.

I have always had Nokias too, my current work phone is a 6310i, and I have two 7110's and a couple of old 5110's too

decided I now need to keep up with current trends, and get myself a decent new phone with gizmos etc

I did look at the LG7100 today which operationally is very nokia like, but clamshell very light, and not too bad either

But I wanted some more opinions on the other phones, as I will be tied to a 12 month contract

got a samsung e700 yesterday - now i'm not really a fan of flip phones but this one caught my eye.

It's not too "girly" ie it's black and silver not just silver.
It has no aerial which makes it more comfy in the pocket.
Has downloadable java games etc. which the previous samsung's didn't have.
The resolution of the screen is amazing , nokia have quite a bit of catching up to do
I'm used to a nokia ( 6100 ) and i still find that the menus on the e700 are easy to use and navigate.
Battery life and signal seem good so far (24 hrs ) but only time will tell on this !
Built in camera , useful , but not why i bought it - there if i need it.
Light and compact.

All in all, i'm impressed so far, it's my first flip and i'll see how i get on with it.

the only problem with the Samsung is that it doesnt have Bluetooth

It does look good tho

I am waiting for the Motorola v600 - should be out soon. It has all the things you want and is quad band, i.e. you can use it in Japan. Looks like a really nice phone.

hmm, wonder how come I missed that one

I guess the LG 7100 is ruled out, I was assured today that it was tri-band, but all the reviews say it is only dual band, and lots of bad reviews too, Orange have admitted it has a known fault, where it will no longer ring if you add any ringtones !!

Ive ordered the new Panasonic x70, due in stock tomorrow, unless any further delays with it
