I am looking to buy a new phone, There's several phones i am thinking of getting although i am really not sure which one to get.

I am considering the Satio (Although with the problems with CPW & Phones4U withdrawing them here in the UK maybe they are not reliable enough.) Why do a lot of Ericsson's seem unreliable?

The Nokia 5800, W995, LG Viewty, LG Renoir are the others i am considering.

Ideally i would like one with a half decent camera although it is not essential.

Which one would you go for or recommend?

W995 for music.. above average camera too

Also beats the Nokia in the music department ( not by much but it does ), kills the Viewty, I dont know about Renoir tho.

If you want the most bang for your pound I would say go with the Nokia 5800. The audio quality is superb, GPS is very sensitive and fast, camera is so-so, symbian allows you to install nice 3rd party apps such as tomtom and others. And you get a used one for as little as 125 quid on here.

agree with blerk, i would choose 5800 for music and applications purposes,
Don't be so quick to judge me, you only see what I choose to show you.

Although not in the OP's list I would recommend the new Nokia E72. GSMArena's review shows that it has a very good 5 MP camera ('The image quality of the Nokia E72 is among the best 5MP snappers we've seen') and sound quality ('The Nokia E72 has great all-round perfomance that can make some dedicated music handsets jelous, let alone its business collegues').

The E72 is way too overpriced at the moment - almost $450 at shops in Dubai.

I'd recommend the Samsung Jet. Sure it doesn't have a "smart" OS but the resistive screen tech in that thing is as good as a cap screen and the 5MP snapper is excellent too, plus it's reasonably priced. If you want something with an OS to play with, how about the new OmniaPro with a slide out QWERTY?

P.S.: I'm definitely not a Sammy fanboy, I just think their mid-range handsets deliver great value.
