What about the C702, you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Pros:
- Autofocus camera (cybershot).
- Very loud speaker.
- Dust/water resistant
- Rugged
- GPS, HSDPA
- Very bright torch
- Media Centre, has mega bass preset.
- Great battery life.

Cons:
- GPS geotagging doesn't work for everyone.
- Keypad needs getting used to.
- Screen doesn't fare well in bright sun light (but that goes for most screens).
- No wifi.

A worthy replacement for W800 is W995 which is not out till June/July... If you can wait for it then wait... Or it's the W902 for now...

I would recommend C702 too... i think it has the best cost-benefit relationship among those mentioned above...

Thanks for the response guys.

An update is that i need a phone that can take my 4gig m2 card so i can listen to my tunes but it MUST have a torch facility. I'm not too fussed about the lastest phone with all the mod cons, in fact an older phone would be ideal where i could buy it cheaper.

Maybe a list of all the phones that have a torch facility would be usefull.

I'm currently using a w660i but i'm really missing my w800i.

Th C702 and C510 has a very bright dual LED Torch, is cheap now and can eat up to 32GB cards. T700 also comes to mind.

I read the C510's torch can only be used when you're in camera mode. There is no application, and you also have to slide down the cover which would start the camera application again. I also use the torch a lot and I like my C702 because the lens cover doesn't block the LEDs so I can just turn it on with the torch application.
