@ TTM "The Only" ;)

Suggest a phone for me mate.

Requirements -
~ Wi-Fi
~ 3G
~ GPS (with A-GPS would be even better)
~ Good to great camera (most important requirement, as I have so many gadgets already that I would like to cut some corners with the camera, and anyways I don't click too much) It should be at least 5 MP if not more, with at least a dual-LED flash if not better. A decent video recorder would be nice too
~ Music and Video playback are not that important as I already have an iPod Touch
~ Touch screen would be great, but if a device without touchscreen warrants a look and has its merits then i can readily let go of this feature
~ Decent memory capacity or at least expandable memory slots
~ Decent processing power, I don't want my applications to lag and make me wait to switch on the camera!

Those are the most important features that I look for in a phone. I was actually thinking seriously about the Nokia N900 whenever that is released! It meets all my requirements, but only thing lacking, IMO, is the camera. on the other hand, it looks like overkill for me (dunno why :p)
I would be buying the new phone by December and that too in the US. Presently I use the Nokia 6681. I've had it for almost 4 years now, and it is starting to show signs of aging. LOL

Suggest all the phones that come into your mind for now. I will try and read up as much on every device you mention and then narrow down my choices, after your consultation of course.

Thanks.

So I take it that you don't have a budget in mind ?

Anyway, these are your options :

Best Imaging devices:

LG KC910i Renoir

Samsung i8910 Omnia HD



Full-featured touchscreen devices:

Samsung I8000 Omnia II

LG KM900 Arena

Touchscreen with slide-out QWERTY:

Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO

Nokia N97

Power horses: (Snapdragon !)

Acer neoTouch

HTC HD2

Style statements:

LG BL40 New Chocolate

All the above devices meet your requirements with ease.

With five categories to consider, it should be easy to sort out your preferences.

Some are currently available and some aren't just yet.

If your primarily looking for a music device, the Nokia 5630 XM should do !

Only if you need GPS & a full QWERTY keyboard, should you consider the Nokia 5730 XM.

The Nokia E52 does have good sound quality but isn't really a music device rather a good all-round business device.

Now if you looking for a decent multimedia all-rounder, the Nokia N79 is definitely worth considering.

Hmm thanks Gaurish, and Ttm,

I have decided against the n79 cause I don't really like the numpad layout (single strip) makes lot of noise :p looking for good tactile feedback with not much sound..
Between the e52 and 5630, I choose the e52 over the 5630 cause of it's bigger screen and battery.. I don't really require the dedicated music keys of the 5630 anyway.. :)

So Please could you help me decide between the e52 and 5730? Pro's con's? price apart?

Thanks!! :) (Ps this would be my first multimedia phone in a long time so wanna make a good choice :) )

The SE C510 comes in a candybar form factor.

Moreover, it's the only sensible option if you need both a good camera and decent audio quality.

The Nokia E52 is smarter and faster but isn't quite optimized for music unlike the Nokia 5730 XM.

The 5730 XM also has a better camera & video recording feature.
