I need a new mobile but I get horribly confused by the choices out there, I was hoping someone(s) could give me a short list of some handsets that do what I need. My requirements are pretty simple and I don't have heavy usage so I'm sure I an sort a contrat out, I just don't know how to get the features I want.

1. MUST be able to pick up emails very easily from hotmail
2. MP3 player that can do playlists
3. camera
4. Good battery life
5. I have no idea I there is any phone that does this but I'd like to be able to set up different contact lists so I can sort through easily and quickly.
6. good for txting

any help appreciated

  • iPhone would do all this and probably so would loads of others.

  • Hi,
    I'm close to the end of a 2 year contract with O2, and was completely flummoxed by the different amount of phones, tariffs and contracts out there.

    So, I took out a £1 month trial subscription to Which.co.uk, to get an unbiased opinion. If you've never heard of them Which? is an advert free totally impartial pro-consumer organisation, on a par with MSE+Citizen's Advice, who put new consumer goods/services through rigorous testing and report their results back to US. Besides being online they also have a monthly magazine.

    There's a great section on top mobile phones and providers.:j
    Here's a snippet:

    Which, Top Three Best Buys
    • Nokia N97
    • Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic
    • Sony Eriksonn W890i Walkman
    Good Luck :D

    I'm so biased. Nokia 5800, the best phone I've owned.
