Currently operating 3 active phones it's time for a consolidation, is there one device that does the same stuff as these 3 seperate handsets.

Nokia 6234, Nokia 6275, Harrier PDA.

Telecom do not have any smartphones or any decent phones above the 6275 so they are struck off. it must be a GSM device with UMTS.

I have looked at n73, Great form factor, decent enough camera, good video recording, Good UI. No GPS sadly but a bluetooth unit might be an option.

JasJam, great and love the UI, but camera just not up to spec, asides that nice device.

SP-jas Nice form factor, UMTS, but so so camera, no 640 x 480 videomode or native java apps.

And a n93 which was huge and felt cheaply built.

The n95 looks "the bomb" and it can so almost everything i wish for. but it's getting very up there, $1800 for a phone, no way!

Best camera was the k800i, wow, videomode however was pretty poor however and it has other limitations.
still camera is not up to spec with even my old 2mpix canon.

My demands are high, probably insanely too high but here goes.........

Must multitask, ie, take a pic while on a call, browse messages or filesystem while on a call etc. Harrier fits this bill great, 6274 and 6234 do it all apart from being able to suspend a java application for say SMS or calls (unless a call comes in which I can take)

high memory in the phone itself to multitask. the 6275 has a reasonable amount (20 MB) the 6234 is pitiful and shows it (6 MB)

No content lockdowns. I want to be able to send an mp3 or MIDI via MMS, and not be "forbidden",  6234, bad bad, blocks this unless the extenstion is renamed to .AMR, the 6275 allows these files but the mms has not worked from the time I have had it so boo to Telecom.

UMTS........ Must have 3G... HDSPA would be nice but it's rather new so not expected.

Decently performing camera, 2mpix or more, must have good clarity and natural images even at the expense of less meagapixels. (6275 is almost on par here but even averagely low-light has this horrid green tinge) 6234 fails to impress.

Video recording at 640 x 480, the 6275 fails miserably, but the 6234 is suitable though a higher framerate would be nice.. the harrier is so-so.

Display resolution of 320 x 240 or more, must be a high clairity daylight viewable TFT (like the three current devices I own)

Web browsing support, solid "Wap" browsing support at same data $ rate (Telecom, shove your 5c/1KB WAP charges...) Harrier is the key here.

Email client, not a java based one either.

GPS in the handset like the 6275. (would be very nice... but it's a big ask!)

Deployable Java applets, both the 6275 and 6234 allow me to simply run the java application off the memory card without the need to install it, all the resulting config files (.RMS) are just placed in the folder.

Open directory support, not a requirement but would be nice, basically being able to place any mix of file formats in any form of directories, I can place a java application and run it from the "pictures" folder for example. 6234 and 6275 both support this.


Yup, high demands I know but I'd prefer to pay top dollar and get a high-end device that will do it all.
