Sony Ericsson G900 / G900i

The G900 combines a touchscreen user interface and a stylus for handwriting recognition with a conventional keypad. It's a 3G smartphone with great organiser functions, and also includes a 5 megapixel camera, video camera, media player, Bluetooth, WiFi and a memory card slot. Although it seems to be quite popular in other countries, the G900 hasn't really taken off in the UK. It's a 3G Symbian smartphone with a combination of a normal keypad and a touchscreen. It's perhaps more of a PDA than most phones, and it's definitely a good phone for organising and essaging.For a smartphone, it's reasonably compact and pretty lightweight. It has a conventional keypad, but also has touchscreen controls, and can even recognise handwriting - that's what the stylus is for. The handwriting recognition takes some practice, but once you get used to it it's a very quick way to enter text. The phone has some powerful organiser functions pre-installed and, being Symbian, you can download plenty of third-party apps too. Useful features include a voice recorder, Opera web browser and support for RSS feeds. With 160 MB of onboard memory and the capacity to take microSD cards up to 4GB, you'll be able to store plenty of stuff and use your phone to organise your day-to-day life. Although it's not a Cybershot or Walkman phone, it still comes with a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, plus a media player, so you have full access to core multimedia features. Connectivity is excellent, with Bluetooth and USB available. The G900 also has WiFi support and 3G, although note that it has triband GSM support, not quadband, and there's no HSDPA support either. These seem to be illogical omissions.
