Default New Phone needed ASAP!

Let me start this by saying that I am a twonk.

I was out last night and lost my phone....

I want a phone that has :

a qwerty keyboard with buttons, not on the screen
A torch
A full size screen that views propper web pages, not that mobile c**p, especially ebay as most phones wont do the REAL ebay site
A function that lets me drop anything I want onto multiple desktops would be nice

I had a N900, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N900 this is now discontinued and can't find another phone that has the same functionality as it was open source linux based, more like a desktop pc that had a phone function

I haven't had an android phone, I have had symbian and do not get on with the software, I do not under ANY circumstances want an Apple.

I am on Vodafone

iPhone.

I know it meets none of your requirments but that is becuase you really don't know what you want whereas Apple and Steve Jobs and their myriad of sheep like disciples do. So stop being a numb nuts and get one bought

Cheers!

I think I will go and get a BB Torch later then. I am not paying money for a phone when I can get one for free unless I don't like the android either , then I might sell it and buy a couple of them off ebay, I lke the fact that the N900 is more like a desktop pc than a phone

I know, I pay for it as part of my monthly package, I know it's not 'free' but I mean I don't have to pay when I get a new phone. I could just renew my contract and get money off them or a reduced monthly payment and no warranty, no good for me as I have a replacement phone every few months due to me dropping it off scaffold, into mud, getting it wet etc and pay nothing more than my monthly bill.

Couldn't get a phone lastnight due to vodafone not updating their records when I sent an N8 upgrade back due to me not liking it. all sorted now so will be going for one later.
I've since seen the HTC Desire Z so think that fits me better, any others I may have missed?

Irritating when they don't update their systems for days and leave you hanging.
Depends what your network has but there are a few of those style phones out there. Motorola milestone.

Have a search on gsmarena.com
