    I'm in the market for a new phone, my current N73 is on its last legs.

    I'm looking for a touchscreen phone that has a good browser and also a good camera.

    My gf has an iphone which is a great phone but not for me because it has a crap camera.

    I'm looking to spend about €200, any ideas?

    To be honest, most Camera's on phones are crap. I stand over the fact you buy a phone for talking and a camera for photos. And I've had the N95 and the iPhone.

    The 5800 is a great little phone however.

    You cant just say cameras on phones are crap. Phones are phones, taking photos is not their main function. You cant compare a picture taken with a phone and an actual camera. I have printed pictures with an n95 with good results.

    I took these with my N97 while moving and bare in mind i resized them for posting on boards.

    Those pics are pretty clear alright!

    Seems to me there is no reason why new phones cant replace a digital camera at this stage.

    Lens clarity, sensor size and just because theyre designed to be cameras, not an add-on
    Camera phones will never be as good as dedicated cameras

    I have to say the N95 / 97 have a great camera. I'm just into my photography and they will never replace a stand alone camera. But the 5800 / a second hand N95/96 would be my picks.
