Mobile phone needed for 'business'

Hi - can I ask you guys a favour?

I need a new mobile phone for sort of 'business' use. I used to have a Nokia 6630 (now on it's last legs) which had great organiser features for me.

What I need is something with a good calendar setup, plenty of alarm features & appointment features. Anything above that would be a bonus - like spreadsheet, etc.

I doesn't have to be flash, have a great camera (good would be nice) or a media player. Just reliable and a largish screen.

I've been looking at the Nokia 5800, Samsungs (Tocco Lite), LG Cookie types. The Blackberrys are a bit out of my price zone. But I've seen deals for all the others. I'm the type that keeps a phone for several years once I've got used to it.

Can anyone recommend anything please?

Cheers all.

    I'd look into a smartphone so you get all the functions like spreadsheet etc. Either look on ebay etc for used or private sales, or if it needs to be from a shop look into the t-mobile pulse.

    Thanks - but a smartphone might be a bit too much for me. I'm not that much of a user, and the features are probably overkill.

    I'm not even that familiar with touch-screen phones! There are just so many out there now that I've no idea what's any good!
