It's time to get a new cellphone and while my venerable Nokia 3310 served me well (remember how utterly cool it was when it first came out?) it now sucks ass.

What I'm mlooking for is a nice solid phone with a big, clear display, qwerty keyboard, mp3 player and lots of memory for data and MP3's. I don't really want a camera and there aren't any GPRS services that seem worth it at this stage. And forget 3G, I'm a classic late-adopter and am really not interested in expensive, poor service.

Actually the one thing I really want is a phone that will encode to MP3 from line-in or radio. The Nokia 3300 does that but it comes with a measly 64MB MMC card and more roomy cards are reely expensive. I hope that Nokia will be making a follow-up to the 3300 (with a qwerty keyboard).

There's nothing in the Nokia range that really grabs me at the moment so my eyes are starting to wander to Samsung, Siemens and (shock horror) Motorola - I feel dirty just for admitting that. Anita had a Motorola and it sucked ass from day one. I should refuse to even say hmmmoto out of principal.

Or am I actually looking for a PDA with built-in GSM?
