Hi all, Just wanted to say thanks to all the people who replied to the list and privately to suggest/recommend a phone.
After quite a bit of research, it seems that the HTC Desire is one of the best ones on the market at the moment. It's taking a while to get used to but it's an amazing phone. Thanks again everyone.

Dear Nick, Moving to a smartphone (or touch screen phone) really changes your habits and business practices. I started five years ago with an HTC “Blue Angel” (made under various brand names) and I virtually stopped to bother looking into my notebook every hour. E-mails, web, contacts, text messages – all these become very easy, especially when you travel. A camera also helps a lot to keep moments of life (and sometimes helps keep evidence which might be necessary...) If I were you, I’d rather think of another SonyEric. The critical issue is how transparently you can transfer your contact database from the old phone to the new, and if you chose a Symbian smartphone or touchphone this should be easy. Plus, the cost of the new Symbian communicator should be much much less than an iPhone or WM or RIM mobile. I also suggest you look for a QWERTY slider, this makes things easier. Screen size does not matter much, but having it 3.2 or bigger would be useful for browsing. I would consider a Vivaz PRO as a No 1 of choice then...

Hi all, I'm not really interested in going for an iphone (as everyone seems to have them!) but will soon need to buy a new phone as my old Sony Ericsson K790i is starting to fade away after 2 wonderful years together. I use the phone mainly to sms and call people so I'm not too sure whether I would like a touch screen, but am open to ideas/suggestions from people who have converted from "traditional" phones to touch screen. Thanks in advance for any ideas, suggestions or recommendations. Regards, Nick
