I really like the Samsung Soul. It fits the bill for me. It's slim, nice looking, slider, good camera with af and flash, made out of decent materials totaling more than 1p etc etc
Dont do it!! I did what you are thinking about doing with the Soul and I had to sell it as Samsung`s arnt a patch on SE`s as I began to realise as I used it. |

The Soul is a decent device, but IMO it doesn't have any wow factor. I have the K660i for a week now (though I don't use it atm). It is really gorgeous and that's it's wow factor IMO. The features aren't that great, but it's just a decent phone for a small price. Perfect for a 16 y/o boy, IMO, though it's not that different form W910i.
W705 seems like a great choise, too. It will be around €300 at it's release. Another phone that managed to impress me (I'm 15) is Nokia 5220. It has a gorgeous design and the music lights are nice. It's quite basic, though.

First, I may sound thick but what does IMO mean?
And second, yeahh the K660 looks nice but I prefer the soul, it excites me much more and I'll get bored of the K660 pretty quickly I reckon considering it's UI is the same as my dreadful W910's. I'm guessing the soul doesn't do it for you then. May I ask what other phones you have/had? I had 4 SE's and tbh I'm getting bored of them.
how much is 300 euros in £££??
and paulc why do you say not to get a soul? |

IMO means In My Opinion
I understand you'll get bored by K660i quickly since you've had W910. But the interface is all but dreadfull. It's actually the best interface on the market IMO, the one in Soul is much worse.
I've had (for at least one week):
Siemens M35
Sony Ericsson T230
Nokia 7650
NEC N400i
Motorola L6i
Siemens CX65
Sony Ericsson W810i
LG KU990 Viewty
Sony Ericsson K660i
Samsung U900 Soul
Sony Ericsson W760i
Nokia 5220 XpressMusic
Apple iPhone 3G
Sony Ericsson W902
Sony Ericsson W595
Sony Ericsson C905
Samsung M8800 Pixon (Well, actually received it today)
From these phones, W810 managed to impress me most.
An €300 phone here in the Netherlands is around £200 - 250 in Great Brittain, i think. |

I wasn't saying the UI was dreadful, I was saying the W910 was.
You seem to have had a lot of phones, how come?
And you had a soul, can you give me your opinions on it please? |

Actually I'm reviewing them, so I have another one every two weeks. All phones after K660i are review phones.
The Soul was a nice device, stunning 5MP cam. Build quality was ok, but it has a big hole between the screen and the back if you slide it open. The device feels nice in hand and works good overall. It's a nice allrounder, but it doesn't have a wow factor, IMO. |

You're not the only one 
I have to write reviews about them, that's it (and I get payed for it  ). I became reviewer by becoming mod at a mobile phone site and after some time asking if I could review a phone.
No, I don't have the Soul anymore 
I have Pixon now, will get Renoir next week  |

I'd do it for free lol. I do quite like the W902. But, the price and tbh I prefer the soul. What i really need to do its to borrow a soul for a week and see if I like it. |

I did it for free, but now they pay me, I don't care
That's a good idea, indeed. If you can borrow it. |

Hmm back to the w705 thing. It might not have af but thats one minor detail. What im seeing from this vid you could use it easily as a text phone:
