What is the best mobile phone to get?

[Easy 10]

I've just got my hands on a Samsung X460, which is quite a sexy little beast. I have a particular fetish for clamshells, this being my 3rd Samsung clam. Never had any probs with them at all, very reliable, marvellous menu systems, plenty of features, lovely crisp colour screen, and I like its sleek silveryness.

Thought about getting a camera phone, but the mid-range ones, specially the Motorola's, all look like clunky cheap rubbish, and I decided I'd barely use a camera anyway. Gimmicks.

all I want from a mobile is:

1) to be cheap!
2) to have FM radio
3) to have internal memory with expansion slot for 1gig memory card
4) to have MP3/WMA/Other music playing support
5) to have MP3/WMA/Other music as ringtones
6) to be no bigger than my T610
7) to have upgradeable firmware for future software bug fixes and addtions
8) to have Bluetooth support

not much I know

Crabbers you want the Sony Ericsson S700i thats about the closest to what you specify available and it has a 1.3 MP cam to boot.

A bit bigger than the T610 but not that much.

yeah tinx that is pretty damn decent, only £370 too although cant see if it has FM radio, need to listen to those Albion games when I'm on the move

It does have a radio on it. You can get it quite cheap on a contract though. Mates just got one for £50 and he stuck a memory stick in it and sold his mp3 player to pay for it.

I'm happy with my Sharp GX20, had it almost 18 months. I'm not particularly looking to change but I might upgrade when the GX40 comes out...promises to be very special with a proper 2 megapixel camera.
