I'm due for an upgrade, and the z600 is a little old now, so I am looking at other models.

What I love/use: Flip; BT/Voice dialling; texting; isync; calling cards; v. occassional internet and email usage in emergencies; sometimes games and camera (though I can live without either)

What I am sick of: thickness; camera (if I am going to have a camera, then it needs more mp); memory (now I have voice dials set up, I can' play some games).

So as you can see, what I want is the same phone, upgraded. Still flip, but slimmer, with more memory and a better camera. As for radio/mp3 - well, I am going to start catching the train to work, so I might appreciate that too.

There doesn't seem to be quite the phone I am looking for. So what's going to make me happy? k750/w800? What features will I gain? What will I miss? Any other phones i should look at? Non-SE phones are an option.

thanks for any and all help.

If you go for a K750i you will only loose the flip but you gain:
A lot more memory (38mb internal + upto 4gb external)
A 2MP camera
A radio (with RDS)
An MP3 Player
Quite a bit smaller and lighter than Z600
Better screen
Better games for your train journey
Still has Bluetooth and Infra-Red

But the Z800 doesnt have a radio and is a bit bigger than a Z600.

Thanks, that's great.

It looks like I should go for the K750i, or the W800i if I can get it on a similar deal and live with the colour.

I can't see that the D600 (samsung, right?) is available in the UK. Plus i'm pretty much sold on SE these days.

thanks again
