Need mobile phone with radio

Can anyone suggest a lightweight mobile phone with camera, video & radio.
At the moment I am with Orange but would use O2 or Tmobile. The battery life needs to be pretty good. Any recommendations?

    I currently have a Nokia 6500 slide which has camera, video and radio. Previously I had a 6300 which also did, the camera was not as good though.

    Your best bet is to go to the phone manufatcurers websites and find which phones you like then look for the best deal on them.

    Best phone I ever had with camera (1.3 megapixel), video and radio was the Nokia 6230i. Battery life was stonking and is was much better than the pile of donkey droppings that I have at the moment (Nokia 6120 classic).

    ;o)

    Thanks very much, are you a fellow Villan?

  • Thanks for the info. I've only just found out that the phone has to connect to the internet for the radio to work and that it obviously has to be paid for.
    I thought it would just be like a normal radio - doh.
    Anyway, my husband is from Birmingham and has been a Villa fan all his life. He even paid for one of those paviours they have in the ground - sad or what?
