New Phone Suggestions Please !

Lo All!

I am after some new phone suggestions please. To me, phones are just a tool, however, work have just started charging us for personal calls and so I have decided to get myself a cheap personal mobile for out of work use. I am totally out of sync with what's available, what's good/bad, etc. My current work phone is a Nokia 6230i (just replaced a 6110i) - love the Nokia but the screen is just too small. These are the things I am after :-
(i) Screen as a big as possible to view Calendar.
(ii) Must sync with Outlook for Calendar and Contacts.
(iii) Must be relatively easy to enter calendar information.
(iv) Cheap pay monthly contract.
Any thoughts/suggestions much appreciated.
Looking at the Blackerry's as well.

Thanks,

Simon.

Honestly this phone really is such a tool as it is what I run my life with.

I have all of my contact, tasks, calender and 5 email accounts synched with outlook and the phone.

Really is the tool to my life.

I agree it's a good phone but the buttons are terrible. Far too small and uncomfy to use.

There was no need for a querty keyboard - a phone with the smae layout such as a standard SE phone would have made it far better.

Have you looked at the Noka N73?

It does everything you'd want it to, however it isn't quite the same as traditional Nokias as it runs on Symian OS.

If you're quick and head to Carphone Warehouse, they may still have the deal where you can get either 500 mins + 500 texts on Orange, or 600 mins + 500 texts on O2 for £25 a month on an 18 month contract. Normal line rental per month is £35, but this deal is done by redemption so you get £60 back every 6 months, saving £180 in total to make it £25 a month
