When I do upgrade, it'll be to the N9.

I had one of the first N95s and am in the market now to replace it. It’s been brilliant and never given any trouble. When I replace my phone I like to move the game on a bit and I have felt as you do that there really hasn't been much in the way of advancement in a total package.

Over the last 18 months I have had an IPod touch 32 and use it extensively for many functions. While I initially didn't like the size of the Iphone I pretty much carry the touch around all the time. It makes sense for me to now consider this V4 iphone as some of the features that matter to me have finally caught up especially considering the PC and Lap top have the software for ITunes and I have the chargers and so on. That in no way takes away from the excellent presentation of the “I” products. I must also say that I feel the apple product is generally of a higher build quality.

When using the itouch wi fi it has been a constant irritation to encounter flash based sites that can't be accessed. Seems like there is always a compromise with the Iphone to date and I don’t embrace compromise that well when it come to consumables.

Another phone that has been in my radar is the SE X3, but its released with the android 1.6 instead of the 2.0 that most seem to rave about. SE have pretty much always had a decent phone and have moved to 8mpix with this new model.

I have always had nokia but this Sony Ericson and the new Iphone on my shopping list.
