Since the iPhone is not going to be release in the UK until December 2007, I wanted something to tide me over in the phone area, currently the M3100 that I am using is bulky, will not last more than 3 days on a full charge.

Looking around on the current phone market there were a few new models like the LG Shine, LG Prada, Nokia 8800, but the Sony Ericsson caught my eye due to the features and size.
