time has come to get a new phone and maybe switch to a new contract...
I've just finished 18 months with a V3 RAZR on Vodafone, and although motorolas software leaves a lot to be desired and the V3 is pretty sluggish, text system is a bit poorer than others, it's been a good phone. The battery is beginning to give out a bit quick now of course, but the phone is as slim as it ever was...
features I'm after:
small/pocketable design (clamshell or choc bar)
good battery life (at least 3 days between charges with regular use would be nice)
standard memory card slot
mp3 player function (radio too preferrably but not essential)
non-proprietry headphone socket (i.e. I can plug my own 'phones into it) preferrably not via an adapter, but will make allowances for this.
non-proprietry connector where possible (V3 uses a regular USB connector for pc connection and charging which I like)
anything else is secondary I think
though email/web might be fun if it's included in a cheapish contract somehow
