Recommend a new phone for upgrade

We're due upgrades at work (pretty much anything bar the iPhone) and I've provisionally chosen the Nokia N82.
Should I consider anything else? I'm not up to speed on phones like I used to be, especially brands other than Nokia.

Thanks.

nothing like giving a tight spec for giving people a clue as to what you might use if for!

mp3 playback, videos, internet, email, games, touchscreen, camera etc ?

Re: Recommend a new phone for upgrade

I would probably use it for its picture taking and video abilities, listening to MP3's albeit on rare occasions, basic web use but email checking is a must, not bothered about games nor it having a touchscreen.
I like the sound of sat nav on a mobile, especially built in GPS.

I guess the N82 fits the bill.

Re: Recommend a new phone for upgrade

As an electrician who normally resides in dusty enviroments I'm a little put off by the slider on the N95.
In any case I much prefer a candy bar type phone which pushes me towards the N82.

I was basically wondering if I was missing out on anything as it's a free upgrade so want the best I can.

Is there anything else out at the moment which matches or even eclipses the features of the N82/N95?

Also love the idea of WiFi
