What Phone Should I Buy? (2008-03-02)

[6/3/08 7:59 - Written over breakfast, while perving at some top French totty] I've decided that I don't want a PDA phone, so the features that I want are:

Function	Nokia N95	IPhone	Nokia 6210
Camera with flash
3G
Tri-band
Bluetooth
Infra-red
Sat-Nav
Wi-Fi
Geo-tagging of pictures	?	?	?
FM radio
Word processing
Good battery life
Small enough to fit in my pocket
Removable battery

I have a feeling that I might have to compromise on some of the features in order to get a small enough phone. The N95 loses on size and battery life, but the Nokia 6210 Navigator seems to fit the bill quite well, although it doesn't seem to have Wi-Fi. This might have to be the feature that I have to compromise on, but I'll have a proper look sometime. If only I could use one for a week or two before deciding.

From what I can tell, Geotagging is possible on all three phones, if Shozu is installed. Also, there are third-party applications available for the iPhone that will allow word processing. I ought to consider the Nokia N82 and Nokia E90 Communicator, which both have Wi-Fi, but are probably a bit too big.
