    D900 is quite good although the battery isnt great if you mess around with the camera or have the screen on too much.

    ok guys after much research and window shopping i've gone for the 850i should be here today. Apparently the Sony's have a huge battery life due to people using the MP3 player all the time. This suits me fine as going away for a weekend and forgetting your charger seems to kill my current phone dead within the first night.

    Thanks for the advice guys
