Yet another what phone topic

[Steve-O56]

I've come to the point where my contract with Vodafone is up for renewal next month and my old Noia N95 8gb is finally starting to play up. My only problem is that i am so out of touch with phones nowdays I'm a bit lost as to what to go for.
I browse the internet a lot from my phone and i'm just starting up my signwriting buisness so it would be nice if I could get my webmail e-mails from my website on my phone. I'm not sure if any phones would be able to do this as everyone I have spoken to seems to think i'll have to set up a Hotmail, Yahoo or GMail account as they are the only ones supported.
Unfortunately I have quite large fingers so any phones with small keys are a no no for me.
From what I can see my options are the IPhone 3gs and the Blackberry Storm 2 unless anyone can recomend any others.
I'm pretty clueless with both of these so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For browsing the iphone wins hands down - its the only mobile that feels like you using a small computer, not a phone.

Just get an iPhone, they are very good

If you have your own web site (domain name) then you should be able to setup an email client on the phone as a pop3 or imap client (if using pop3 make sure your configure it to "leave message on server" else they will only be able to be read on your phone and no longer on your webmail
HTC HD2 is another option for you adn supports what I have suggested
(i am sure they all do)

EFA ... Nokia N900 walks over the iPhone on the "feels more like a small computer" front Cut down Firefox browser, Flash support ....

... that said, the iPhone is probably the best option for the OP based upon his requirements, or any Nokia Symbian with Opera Mobile browser installed.

cheers for the advice everyone, I think i'll hang on for a month and see if anything new comes out. I like the IPhone it's just the extra cost, new tarrif etc thats required if I go for one.
