I currently have a HTC TYTN II, and am able to upgrade anytime I want. There are so many phones on the market, I just can't decide what to get.

My minimum requirements are as follows

Quad Band

5mp Camera with decent LED / Xenon Flash

Camera must be able to capture video in VGA @ 30fps

Decent amount of storage space, either built in or via card slot.

Keypad is preferred but would get touchscreen if need be.

Can anyone here suggest a decent phone which has all of this ?.

You need to be more specific. Anyway, i would get a N95-8GB any day of the week, any month of the year!

Well i'm not sure how much specific I can be, but I can give it a go.

As stated in the original post, I need a phone that will work anywhere in the world esp all over the States & Australia, so assumed that quad band would be best.

To save the load on luggage a phone that can take high quality pictures in most conditions, as well as capture high quality video say of vga res, which I can output to dvd would be better than a handset that captures to qvga format which is only good enough for small screen / web viewing.

Decent storage capabilities is essential as full res capture 640 x 480 in any format other than divx would take a lot of space. I have a 20gb mp3 player so am not too bothered about holding lots of audio, other than ringtones.

A nice sized screen would be good as well for web browsing on the move & as stated before, a keypad instead of a touchscreen is preferred for sending text messages, which I do a lot of.

Am not too bothered about installing many applications on the handset.

It would also be useful to have a handset where I can set the alarm on & then switch off the phone which will turn on when the alarm goes off. I know that most Nokias can do this but not sure about other makes.

As stated earlier high picture quality both indoors & outdoors is essential as well as high quality video capture & quad band is preferred so I can use the phone almost anywhere.

I'd suggest an Ericsson T65! I'm sure it fulfills all your requirements!
