The nokia 6260 is a great clamshell smartphone with Symbian Series 60. The thing that is different about this phone from the rest is that it has a revolving high resolution display! On the other hand the 2 things i dont like about this phone is that number 1 it is a Nokia and i hate nokia's, i am a SE user! and number 2 it is not touchscreen, but i might just overlook these 2 things!

So far the Motorola A780 is winning the race for me because it is linux based and has touchscreen! But i am not sure about any 3rd part applications of this phone....as it is linux based. This was pointed out to me by another Esato.com member.
Keep us posted on what you're thinking or about any useful links you might find while doing your research!
Good luck!

I think it's hard to find a 3rd party software for linux mobiles because developers develope java, symbian and windows apps. Offcourse linux mobiles have support for java but those java apps are not that evolved like symbian/windows apps... Nokia 7610 it's a good deal? I've heard that a samsung model with 1.3mp camera is based on symbian s60. Is it true?What do you think about siemens sx1?

And the smartphone needs to have a ergonomic joystic or navigation keys. My joystick make pains to my finger(s)

I would also recommend the Sendo X, all the reviews I have seen of it give it high praise and it has a good set of features. I would also recommend the P800, if you are on a budget this is a good option over the P910 as the P800 has almost all the same features, just toned down a little. The P900 might also be a vialble option, it has come down in price quite significantly lately, especially if you are looking to get it with a contract.

@scotsboyuk i like sendo x. I was thought to buy the p800 but many users said that the display is sensitive and can be broken by a fall..and the stylus is not that resistent. Apart of this and the memory stick limit this is a great smartphone by performance/price

If you drop any mobile you are likely to damage it! The P800 stylus is plastic, but I can't say that I eve rbroke mine, although I did loose one or two. The P800 is a very good choice, but if you can afford to get a P900 then I would suggest you do so.

The Sendo X looks to be a very good device and I have to admit to being rather interested in it myself. I don't know anyone with one so I can't offer you any first hand experience of using it, but it certainly appears to offer a lot of features. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it is the only British smartphone on the market.
