After the advice given to me in my recent post, I've decided the K800i seems like the best phone for me. However, it has one major flaw for me - the camera may be great, but the video recording sucks, and I'd be quite happy to pay extra cash to get a phone that has what the K800i has, and a better video camera. Can anyone recommend one, or am I wasting my time looking and better spending some cash on a cheap camcorder?

Have a look at LG Viewty, Nokia N82, N93(i) or N95 (8 GB). Those are some of the best offerings for video recordings at the moment!

But i recommend to keep your K800 and buy a camcorder. those phones are good to recording video but a camcorder is definitely better.

The 120fps on the viewty is for slow motion only capture only.

Currently the best are N95, N82, N93 and viewty have great VGA @ 30fps video recording.

if you want great video recording, then forget about SE. The best SE has is K850 which records QVGA @15-30fps. This is only 1/4 pixels of VGA. And K850 frame-rate drops to 15fps if there is lot of scene change/movement in recording.

Save some money and buy a digital camera with VGA recording. I recommend the Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS (aka PowerShot 870 IS): 8 MP, optical zoom, image stabilization, VGA recording at 30 fps with good sound. I paid USD 400 for it, but you'll probably find it cheaper.

Update: Panasonic just announced a 32 GB SDHC memory card. That would fit more than 3 hours of high quality video recording with my camera.
