I found this and it looks good, but looking at the reviews people have said, it does not look good. they are mixed reviews, some "great", some "crap".

So, what do you lot think

+

Can you offer anything better
Looking for
- Good size (not too small, not too big)
- Camera (preferribly a twist one to look at people in front of it + at your self or 2 cameras like the NEC e616)
- Video capture (dont have to be sendable via texts, etc, just to be stored and showen on the phone)
- Preferibly conectable to a pc (via usb or whatever)
- Addons - infered, etc (bluetooth not needed but can be on the phone)
- Any good network

I have one of them. The bluetooth support works ONLY for the headset, you can't use it with any other items (ie. other phones).
It's an alright phone, but I'd go with the Motorola on 3 to be honest. It's smaller and just as good, if not better. Only problem with "threepay" is that you have to put �15 on every 30 days, because after 30 days, ALL credit gets wiped from your account.

If you don't like them, I recommend one of the new Samsungs: perhaps an SL55?

what about unlocking it, as i'm not going to use video phoning (untill it is used more widle), so using my old sim card just to text and talk and change back to the new sim card later?

Sorry, I wouldn't know about that as I'm still with 3. I imagine it's the same as every other phone; try your local market and look for the shady lookin' Croats. They'll know what to do.
