    Default New Phone [+REP]

    Hello,

    I am looking to get a new mobile phone, but I need it to be SIM-Free (so I can put my virgin mobile sim card into it) and have the following:

    - Email
    - Touchscreen
    - Lanscape Keyboard (or good keyboard)
    - 3G (if possible)
    - Decent web browser - Needs to be able to display WHMCS.
    - 3MP+ Camera
    - MP3 Player
    - 3"+ screen
    - Slim and sleek design

    I understand the LG Viewty meets these needs but it is too thick for my liking.

    I will give +REP if possible.

    Thanks for your help!

    Look at any HTC device as they run windows mobile and fit all your needs

    They can be unlocked for free if you look on xda developers or for a small charge

    I got the Nokia 5800 on Friday and I can't fault it yet (Touch wood!), really cool interface and has full qwerty keyboard etc.

    I believe that it has every feature that you have listed ;]. 3.2 MP camera, touchscreen, 8GB microSD included with Nokia's Xpressmusic on it, web browser is better than most and it's screen is nice and big.

    EDIT: Sorry didn't see the virgin bit, don't know if they do it.

    Out of them I don't think any of them have a slide out keyboard. The Tocco is good if you want an entry level touchscreen phone and the 5800 for a more advanced one but its early reviews haven't been all that glowing. The rest are keypad based so you won't get your touchscreen wish if you don't like those 2!

    Ahh virgin mobile range of phones is shocking, and their contracts are

    But im still with them too lol, anyway if you didnt know, you can use your virgin mobile sim in any t-mobile phone without unlocking it. Ive done it loads becuase the phones were cheaper on t-mobile than virgin.

    Obviously the T-Mobile G1? HTC Kaiser would also do well, I suggest the Skyfire browser to load web pages in Windows Mobile.
