Default Mobile phone recommends???

Can anybody recommend a decent mobile phone? I last looked at them 2 years ago when I got my Panasonic GD87 so I've lost track of which are good or bad. I'm with Vodaphone.
It needs to be a clamshell design, an integrated ariel would be nice but not essential. Not bothered about games at all. A 65k colour screen would be nice as well. Decent battery life, but most seem to suffer on this account anyway. A cursory glance online revealed a couple of possibilities in the Samsung models E700 and E710. Any opinions on these??

Any help appreciated,

Cheers,

Craig.

I've just upgraded to a Nokia 6230, and I can't fault it. It has all the fun things like MP3, Camera, Video, Radio, Bluetooth, Games, and it can phone people too

...bugger, just saw that you wanted a clamshell design.....never mind...the Nokia is still good

Check out www.gsmarena.com Quite a good site for comparing phones. I went for the S/E K700i in the end. Still tryin to qork half the stuff out on it but good phone none the less apart from a bit of a poor battery life

Nokia 6230 is the best phone to have at the moment,loads of stuff on it and very easy to use.Battery life about 3 days depending how much you use the camera,video etc.....

If you're upgrading on a Vodafone contract do it through carphone warehouse - my T630 was £20 from them and £140 from Vfone. Didn't affect my Vfone contract at all.

p.s. was a Nokia fan but these Sony Ericsson phones are waaayyy better.
