Hiya,

It has been a long time since I last posted and/or bought a new mobile phone. Im still using an old t68 >< This said, it is incredible to me the depth of phone offerings on the market right now, it is making my head spin a bit.

Must have features:
In a nutshell what Im looking for is a small and light phone that is feature packed. Specifically: Preferably small and light. Triband or Quadband (not sure what quadband is) MP3 - I would love to replace my IPOD while I am traveling. Am I dreaming to think a phone can do it? Camera - I have a 7.1 mpx camera that Id like to come as close to replacing as possible. Are there camera phones that can take good quality pics? Bluetooth / Macintosh - I am a macintosh user and would love to be able to quickly synch photos, contacts, and MP3s. Having easy compatability with mac addressbook and itunes would be awesome.
Would-Like Features: Querty Keyboard Multiple SIMS - Is it possible to have 2 sims (One for international roaming SIM, one for a local provider SIM)? Wireless/Skype - I gather this isn't possible, but can i access hotspots with a phone to use it for skype?
Budget: Willing to consider all phones regardless of price.

I expect there is not going to be a perfect fit, can someone please recommend to me some possible options though?

Cheers,
Chris
 
Thanks for the advice guys. I've done some searching and so far the best match seems to be the Nokia N73. It's got the quadband which the SE k800i doesn't and a 3.2mpx camera verus 2.0 on the SE w800i. The Samsung D900 looks cool but it's memory seems pretty small.

I haven't yet tried out the phone, how is the sound quality of the MP3 player and can I add in a much larger SD memory chip? (I've got a 4GB right now for my camera).

Also any idea if I can buy the Music Edition anywhere already? I'm in Europe for the next couple weeks.

Is there anything else I should consider before buying this phone?
Anything from motorola or other manufacturers?

Please note my 2 main hopes are to replace my IPOD and replace my Camera with an easy ability synch with my macintosh.
