"New Mobile"

I'm after a new mobile phone for Christmas (though I'm agnostic I still give and receive gifts, though usually whilst not celebrating the birth of some long-dead bloke).

I'm not particularly l337 when it comes to knowing which phones are "hip", I just generally use my phone for texting, calls, wap a bit and thats about it. A camera would be nice and I like the radio feature I have on my phone, however my old faithful Nokia 8310 is on its last legs. It turns itself off a lot, the battery life is terrible and it's a bit scratched up too. I'm therefore looking for something a bit nicer, but not all that fancy.

So I turn to you to offer me some suggestions for a new mobile. It should be simpleish to use and preferably not have small buttons, because I have big caveman thumbs and end up pressing multiple buttons if they're too small.

Help me out please.

Post phone models, links and recommendations here.

Thanks a lot.

It's fine, you should get a flippy one with a camera like me.

Why "crapio" and why does it "ming" towelly?

It mings to high heaven, by the way.

Crapio

What does everyone think of this?

Oh and l337 is "leet" abrev. of "Elite" which compu-geeks use to mock n00bs

A 4 digit number.

whats 1337?

I have a Samsung E810, it looks great, seems to have decent functionality as well.

I still have my 3310. I can't be bothered having a phone that takes pcitures, records videos, plays music and flashes colours from green to red (!!111), since I'll only ever use it to phone people on and text.

The Samsung E710 is what lives in my pockets these days... T'is a nice phone good camera...

I can't think of any otherphones on the market that I actually want, except the Motorola Razr :-)
