Looking for a phone - halp

[Jamezo]

My trusty Nokia 3205 is starting to crap out on me big time, so now I find myself in the market for a new (well, second hand) phone.

There is such a plethora of models out there, and my specifications are, well, specific. I'd appreciate some help narrowing it down a little.

What I'm looking for:

-Telecom

-Decent camera, video would be a plus

-GOOD KEYPAD: I'm used to the ultra-efficient if somewhat unconventional 3205 keypad; I find many modern phones with their recessed or flush keys just plain *arse* to use.

-Efficient interface: Why does it seem that most of the designers of phone interfaces are advanced sadists? Even the relatively intuitive 3205 has some mind-numbing quirks (on a contact, 'send message' is not the first option, no, but the 5th from the bottom. WHY?!?). This is the most important thing for me. I'm not really up with the state of play, but most phones I've tried have been absolute dogs.

I'm not terribly fussed about everything else, flip/solid etc.

So with that out of the way, what can you recommend that fits those criteria? (TM links are useful if you have them.)

Heres a good solid telecom phone with a conventional keypad.

Youll have to outbid me for it though!

Was going to suggest the same thing - there are usually heaps for sale on there. Or you could try mugging an Asian, they always have cool phones.

Change to Vodafone and I could help you out...
Got a spare one somewhere.

I'm currently enthused by the 6255. Have to see whether it's affordable.

Ooo Ooo I'm on vodafone!! I got a 6310 thats advancing in years and needs to be retired.
What I'm after in a phone;
camera - 1.3 mega pixels or better,
radio - or Ipod type player
cool interface - coz I'm dumb

Ha, got one of those as well (strickly speaking a 6310i). Bought in the Philippines 3 1/2 years ago, different to all the ones in NZ because it's silver, great phone but likewise getting rather tired.

6310 has arguably one of the longest battery lives of phones available (without going to specialist phones) Unfortunately I have to learn a whole new OS and none of my chargers will fit! God I feel old...

I like the Nokia N series though (f*cked if I'm paying $1300 for one though)
