I have been searching for a very long time for the perfect phone for me but cannot seem to find one, and now i have found this wesite and see people who know what they are talking about so i thought maybe you guys could offer some advice.
Heres what im looking for from a phone:
1. I am looking for a flip-phone only (must be flip phone)
2. A good quality internal screen and a colour external screen
3. Good camara with flash. Atleast 1.3mp
4. MP3 player and MP3 ringtones
5. Video Capture and playback
6. Semi-good looking atleast
7. NOT to be made by Nokia
8.money isn't too much of an issue but i dont wanna spend alot of money on a phone which i aint gonna own for more then just a year
9. Not bothered if it is on Contract or not although would prefer on PAYG
10. Doesn't need to be available anytime soon. I have waited a year already i can wait another.
11. must be able to work in UK
I have seen that there is a new LG phone (think it is called LG 8310) which has 264k internal screen and 64 external and most other of my requirements the only trouble is that it is big but that isn't much of a problem, i would rather have a big phone then no phone at all. Also i have seen the Sharp902 with 2.0mp camara, looks good but it has no external screen. The last one i have seen which i have wanted for so long now is the Motorola A840 cos it looks so beautiful and meets most of my requirements, but it aint out in UK yet and i dont know when it will be if at all.
Thanks for the help people.

V800 mate

Look into the Z600 Z500.
Posted by blackspot
nope, z600/500 doesn't have 1.3MP camera. Your best choices are SE-V800 and Motorola-RAZR V3

Razor is only a vga cam...

yup yup burgaz is right people razr only has vga cam

Expect no less from Mr. Burgasson!!

Yup, I missed that. Good news for @addy no other choice, no more headache.

Since you're willing to wait a year, why not do that?
The V800 seems to be the only phone meeting your requirements right now, but its quite large and quite expensive. You could maybe also consider the Moto MPX220, but it has the worst of the 1.3 cameras and it too is large.
If you're willing to compromise on the flip aspect, take a look at the upcoming Samsung D500 slider.

The v800, yeah. Failing that, have a look at some of LG's phones, they are getting better and better.

What about the Sharp phones? GX30 or 902?

Panasonic do a megapixel flip phone, dont they?

Just like to say thanks guys for all the help, it has been alot of help. I think that i may just go with the Samsung D500 because it sounds and looks like it is going to be a superb phone for an amazingly low price.
Thanks again

I thought you liked clamshell
Posted by addy_010
I do really like clamshell but after searching and searching i have only ever found one i like the look of which is the motorola A840 which i have no idea if it is at all coming out in the Uk, and now that i've seen the D500 i have realised that it looks really nice and seems to have alot of features for a good price.

. . . after all those SUGGESTIONS, No one was able to READ the mind of - @addy_101 here - How does that Samsung D500 looks like mate?
Posted by blackspot
It's a slider phone - I too like this phone and would have suggested it if you didn't specify "must be flip-phone" in your list. Just note that it doesn't have FM radio and IR and the memory is 80MB not expandable.
Posted by addy_010
not to bothered about the Radio but im sure it said it has IR. i origianlly really wanted a flip-phone the only phone suggested that i liked the look of was the D500 and i had been searching and searching for a good looking flip-phone but have never found one, and no one suggested one that i liked so when i saw the D500 i was shocked at how nice it was and how many features it had.
