With the advice of a good friend at Nokia, I picked up a Nokia 9300 from a local shop. Just couldn’t handle the DTs encountered after dumping the Blackberry.

In short, this is an excellent phone and e-mail/sms device.

• Excellent sound
• MP3 playback
• QWERTY keyboard
• No camera
• Strong signal selection
• Bright and harp screen

• No stereo output for use in the car (see MP3 playback above)
• Keyboard could use optimizing. Fro example, Shift+2 for the @, when using thumbs, is a bit of a stretch.
• Hard to find carrying cases – locally at least
• Doesn’t include a memory card
• No iSync support (without 3rd party software or hacks)

Not sure I would call it perfect, but it is an excellent phone – so far.
