Please Help Me Decide on a New Mobile Phone

    I need to replace my mobile. My 5 year old Razr is dying. My needs are fairly basic. The phone should have a camera and access the internet. I'll use it primarily to keep in touch with clients while I'm away from my desk, so access to my email is most important. It should have a large screen and have the ability to play audio and video.

    I'd love to hear your suggestions. If possible, would you please tell me the reasons for your choice?

    Thanks.

    im using the newest iphone atm. i was reluctant to get one at first but now i wouldnt use another phone tbh. you said you wanted a camera, access tot he internet, you'll be using it to keep in touch with clients, access to your email, has a large screen and the ability to play audio and video. iphone has it all.

    keeping in touch with clients: interent, email, phone (of course), and even has a working skype app from the makers of skype.
    the screen is pretty large.. its basically an ipod also so music/audio is no problem. the newest iphone takes pictures in HD and also video in HD. you can do facetime as well. linking it from wifi if you need to. i hope this helps

    I've just bought a galaxy mini and it's pretty cool. Supposed to be slower than the S2 but so far I haven't had any problems. I'd buy an iphone if I could justify it but the Galaxy is great at 1/3rd of the price.

    Thank you for your responses and suggestions.

    I seem to have broken the rules and posted this in the wrong section. My apologies. Lesson learned. I'll just respond to posts from now on. Perhaps this should be closed. I'll do it, if I have that option, and someone tells me how. Otherwise perhaps the moderators will close it?

    I'll suggest you any of Nokia smartphone, like x6, n97, etc.

    I am using Nokia 5800 from past two years and its going smooth yet and i use it for internet a lot. I also have iPhone 4, but i don't like it.

    Whats your budget? iPhone and Galaxy are considerably expensive for a 'fairly basic' phone..

    If what you listed in your post is all that you need, and you dont care which OS your phone is running on, or what brand logo it carries. You probably want to give phone like LG cookie Pro a thought.

    you absolutely can not go wrong with an Iphone you can get one fairly reasonably priced especially with a contract. ive tried just about all of the android based phones, while they look good on paper the iphone blows them away when it comes to actually functioning properly

    Go for any 3g mobile of nokia if you have limited budget while if you are not short of money then why don't iphone (internet phone) and also have a very good camera result.

    I just bought the Galaxy Note II and I think it's quite possibly the best phone I have ever owned and I usually upgrade every year or so. If you want power, usability and good battery life, you can't beat the Note II.
