Apologies if this isn't the right forum.
I am after a new handset (contract, currently with Orange but will go with any network).
I need a handset that can be conveniently and easily used as an organising tool i.e. diary & to do list. I currently have a Samsung E770 that has a calendar feature, but the interface is quite awkward and annoying to use. I need something that is almost like a PDA, but don’t need it for sending emails. Other than that the usual features- phone, SMS, camera, video and tri band.
Does anyone know a handset that answers all my prayers or how best to go about finding it – cannot look in the shops as the phones are just dummies, so can’t try the interface…

I'm looking for a new phone myself, you should look a blackberry. They have all you need plus wifi and there are some small slim ones out too. 8110 smartphone is nice.
Personally I'm looking for a thin phone with wifi.0 -

It's certainly a great 'phone but it isn't that little!
I thought of buying one myself but was deterred by its bulk and weight. Inevitable, I suppose, with the additional complexity of an optical zoom.
But shouldn't all this be being discussed in the Mobile 'Phones forum?
Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

you'd now be better off living in one.

officially, it can't... but, with the new 2.0 software, and the appstore, a video app may appear...
even without video, the iphone is slim, and has wifi built in! ooh.. and 3g... and crackberrys don't have that just yet!!!
