The new phone that I'm eyeing is the Nokia E61. Its completely packed with features as its a PDA also with WLAN.. So cool!
Take a peek:
The only problem I would run into is the size. I currently still have the Sony Ericsson w550i (its just like the w600 but its the European model which came out first).

Boy Andem, I hope your E61 is a lot better than the two I played with last month. They were the lightest, most cheaply built phones I'd ever held (and I've handled some pretty terrible phones ie. Firefly). I almost broke several of the buttons within the first 20 minutes of our test use, especially the wheel. On top of that, both of them managed to somehow crash the software they were running (one phone did it twice), and the phones had to be hard cycled to get them back to normal. Seriously, go into a Rogers dealer and try holding a live one for five minutes, your want will pass.
I have a Samsung P207. It was so nice, because when Rogers released it, they forgot to actually test it to see if their new name display would work on it. It didn't - in fact, it was a software glitch that caused it to malfunction on every Samsung phone. They removed the phone shortly afterwards. Not only that, but since I moved to the middle of nowhere, I have a nice, small black Samsung paperweight.
This is what I want though. Treo 700w with Palm software. Either that or the Blackberry Pearl.
I'd think you'd like the Pearl a lot Andem, it's nice and slim and has all the good features of the blackberry, without the annoying scroll wheel on the side of it (the standby battery time on it is 17 days!). Sizewise it's about the size of the Sony w800i.

I just got a new Phone. I had a Motorolla v635...and it was a sweet phone, other than its billion pound weight and thickness. I turned it off for a drive to New Brunswick this Rememberance weekend and it wouldnt turn back on...when i came home I tryed 2 other batterys and it still would not work. So i went to Rdgers and they gave me a Sansung c417..not value isnt really matching the mottorola, but its way lighter and much more slim...and still has a camera so it is pretty good in compareison and I get better signal...
