Hi All
i'm wondering if anyone can tell me about these new phones and the best brand to buy.
my requirements are pretty basic,
i'm going to be abroad for a while and i would like to be able to still connect with my boyfriend and friends without having to find an internet cafe, but also without having to bring my laptop. is it possible to go on webcam conversation i.e. skype or msn or yahoo, with any of these phones, also do they connect up wireless lan like my laptop, or wifi , and if so what is the quality like? would they connect to router, i might possibly have that option where i'm staying, but wont have access to the computer there, so would have to provide my own equipment, to connect to their broadband system
i dont want to bring laptop becuase i dont have enough room for it, and i'm really only going to be using it for contacting home /emailing texting and webcam but also it would be very handy for more complex use at a later date.
many thanks for any advice

Which model phone are you talking about?
Generally most of your questions can be answered by looking at www.gsmarena.com
