I want a really GOOD phone, not necessarily the latest one

1 post

I want a new phone, and I want a good'un, but I know nothing of phones and in the past have tended to ascociate the latest releases with the best phones.
Slowly, however, I am learning that this is not the case.

Thus I need your help!

Forget huge resolution cameras - I just want one that takes good pictures (one of my old phones takes much clearer photos than my current 3250, which has a 3mp camera and takes horrid, grainy shots unless the sun is shining brightly).
So long as I can shove a decent sized memory into it to keep a few tunes and videos on, it needen't have bells and whistles.
It must have a radio (but are there any that don't now anyway?!), take photos and videos, play music and be fun to play with when I'm bored. I would prefer something that doesn't resemble a brick as much as my current mobly, slidey or flippy phones have appeal...

If anyone has any suggestions I would be stupendously grateful, because I'm having a hard time sifting through the handsets myself...
