Got an SE W850i mobile that works okay but looking to change it soon.
One feature it has that is almost essential (to me) is a torch - very dark where we live and I use it a lot.

Have any newer phones got one? Can't seem to find any/many!
All brands considered.

iPhone has a torch app that you can download. Simply turns the whole screen white - simple but quite effective.
You can even make it flash if you want.

Why not just buy a decent torch?

Something from Cree, Surefire, Pheonix or Arc should fit the bill.

Sometimes you can't carry a torch. There is a Nokia, sorry don't recall the model number, that has one, probably not made anymore though!

FlightMan

5500 Sport.

Its a pretty good torch as well

Klaatu

I agree. A GF of mine once had one and we had to sort of an electirical problem with her munted car, full with 3 kids, nagging aunty, shopping etc etc...

My N93 had a torch... the flash light would stay on when i press the flash button twice or something like that.....


but thats a massive brick phone

Just get a mini led torch for your keyring.

Sony K850i's have a torch, I wouldn't recommend them as a good phone though.

nokia 1100 -- brilliant little phone (not sure if you can still get them)

with a good little torch too

oh and the battery lasts forever

We have several decent torches - but my mobile is always on me. A torch isn't!

Will check out the 5500 Sport and the 1100 - cheers!

I've got a Nokia 1208.Has a Torch but no other functions except calls.

Downside is it tends to turn itself off whenever it feels like it

Maybe I'll just stick to my W850i then.
Torch, 3G, half decent camera, sort of MP3 player, etc. Surprised torches aren't on more phones - such a handy feature!

What about something like this?

Nitecore D10 Q5 --- Heinnie Haynes - Knives, Pocket Tools and Accessories

Small enough to be put in a pocket and left there. There are a few AAA powered brights as well, but I'll need to get home later to find out what they are.

Edit, found them another way

I've got a tiny mega bright torch (3W Cree) - still find a mobile torch very handy.

Looks like the Samsung Solid (M110) has one and so does the little known Condurro LM801 - the toughness is also potentially handy as I do tend to kill mobiles rapidly!

W810i
quite bright as wellk

nixxon

Why not?

StickyMicky

Nokia N93 and N93i has one although its just a simple white led ?

Underworld

i'd second that if u only need to make calls and text

plus it will last forever no matter how many times it goes down the stairs by itself
