New Have a look at all the Symbian phones.
Symbian is best described as aggressively multi-tasking: the apps must actively support it to work. So ironically, my G900 fulfills all your requirements, including a decent camera with zoom and adjustable focus.

I was going to wait until Android solidifies, but I was ready for an upgrade now. :-) Consumerism at work. Besides, it looks like it's aiming to take on the Windows Mobile/iPhone space and I wasn't sure I wanted to go that far yet. I feel Symbian is just being itself for the moment. My MS avoidance is a bit more prosaic: I don't want to give Microsoft more money, if I can help it.

Two year contracts I have no problem with, but then I don't get into fights with my provider (Optus). They can't really afford to piss people off grand deluxe; the market's too hot.

Wade.

New Thanks.
Some of the SE phones looked like good fits for my wants, but they're all GSM AFAIK. Sprint uses CDMA, so I'd have to change vendors too. That would be good in some respects (GSM phones generally have better battery life, or did the last I looked), but it means spending time choosing between Verizon, AT&T and maybe T-Mobile. I haven't wanted to spend the time lookng at all the issues, mainly because of the contract...

Cheers,
Scott.
