Hi all,
I'm due an upgrade in January so am looking into replacement phones for my Iphone 3G. I love the Iphone but am disappointed with its camera. Have been thinking and my ideal phone would have:-

1) camera preferably 3mp + with a flash
2) Video recording
3) A flash player
4) wifi connectivity

I dont use the Iphone much for music so that side of things is not so important it's main use is internet browsing and emails.

Does my ideal phone exist?
Thanks for any help

    HTC Hero. Definitely, great for web browsing, I is got one!

    Or Nokia N900 - superb camera even though it's only 5MP. And seems to be just as good as iPhone web browsing.

    Have had a nose at those phones- I can't seem to find out if any of them are flash enabled? Also I should have said they need to be on O2 as I can only get a signal with them where I live.
    More confused now!!!

    N900 and HTC Hero do have flash players.

    Coming from an iPhone i'd recommend the HTC Hero (although a little slow).

    Or even the Tmobile pulse. HTC Hero looks much much better, but has a £300+ price tag on ebay, where as Tmobile pulse is £177 brand new!

    I know which one I'd chose if I were buying now - tmobile pulse, it's half the price of the others with just a few sacrifices in features! I can live with that.

    I don't think it should be too difficult to either unlock it or use an unlock sim for use with O2.
