I currently have an LG Viewty. I like using it, the camera is important. As is the MMS. SO the i-phone is out.

What other phones are there out there, that are like the LG Viewty maybe with more facilities to view documents.

Not the N95 (worst phone ever had).

What are the alternatives, guess I'm wanting a Phone/Organiser with a good camera and MMS.

If you don't rate the N95 I'd advise you to steer clear of the Viewty then wink

How about a Sony Ericsson Cybershot handset?

Sorry I already have the Viewty and have done for ages. Wanting to change it now, as becoming a bit battered now.

Operation is terrible, GPS is pointless, quite bulky. Crashes a lot. My personal experience, so wont give it another go.

DOH - Fail hehe

Must learn to read. wink

I have to say that my normal recommendation is for the N95 - mine has been no trouble at all since I got it in January this year. I have upgraded the OS and haven't had a crash at all (and I have loads of tut loaded on it wink)

I'd have a look at the Tocco (but I have an aversion to Smsung menus)or a Sony Ericsson one.

I'd tread very carefully if you opt for a Windows mobile device - great for documents and emails etc, but I have found them to be clunky, slow and they have without exception crashed daily...

How about a BlackBerry? The curve could be the answer for you - great for docs, decent camera, sat nav etc...

I'm a bit disappointed by all the phones that I'm looing at.

Quite like the blackberry, but I dont think I could change to the semi QWERTY keyboard.

Am I missing some actual "good" phones somewhere?
