Its become a ritual for me to come to esato for advice everytime I want a new phone (which is not very often).

So i tried to flash my V3, the computer went into hibernation halfway through the flash and now the phone is very dormant.

Which means a new phone. I was very much in love with the V3's size and style, but I'm not too impressed with the features of the V3i or the design of the V3x, so that means I need to look elsewhere for a new phone.

I'm sort of inclined towards a phone with wi-fi. So my question is, what is the smallest phone available that has wi-fi?

Also, for somebody who wants a small, well rounded phone and doesn't care about the camera that much, what is the best option today (not necessarily with wi-fi)?

Thanks in advance.

yep. its been available for a couple of months.

expansys, mobilefun, mphone and other places have it available for around £300 but you can also get it on contract from those places and so it remains unbranded, or orange and others also have branded versions with their own naming

Not a bad deal, considering the very good balance of form and features.

Nokia's E50 i think claims to have wi-fi. How does that compare with the SP5?

Also, do you know anything about that Samsung slider that's also got wi-fi? What about iPaqs? Any good?
