New phone soon - help

Hey everyone, i'm on Meteor and due my upgrade the last 5 weeks or so. I'd love a Hero but unfortunatly no where has them available really (I barely have time to look around too) so I just want your opinions on a new phone for myself.

I use my phone for (not in any order) -

1- Wifi - is a must, home connection so can surf web in bed, kitchen etc. easily

2 - Music I'd love to replace an old mp3 player so memory/ music functions would be good

3- OS - Something nice and easy to use

4 - Camera - The odd snap +bluetooth/mmsing pictures

5- Battery - A decent battery - I send 70-100 texts a day and about 1hr wifi + 30 mins music or so.

6 - New - I'd like something new enough ( not neccesary; more like something that will last and I wont get bored) . Domething that will last me for around 4-6 months as I usually change every month or two but i'd like to stick with something til April or May.

Heres my options (all on this page - meteor bill pay ) - https://phones.meteor.ie/phones/

Any of these apart from N97 as it's too expensive.

HTC Hero - I'd love it but i'm sick of waiting on stock. Sure, if I pack another phone and on the day in-store the shop has it, i'll take the Hero in a flash, so i'm not really going to mention this.

Samsung jet - Guess its next in line - love the look, has wifi, mem card slot, music player, decent camera, BT, ability to send pics, whats the story with screen leakage, is this sorted yet?

Nokia N85 - LOVE this phone, not sure about NAVIGATION PAD, anyone used this? Is it a touch screen pad or normal buttons but it just changes (ie. when in music player, has music buttons???)

W995 - Might get this, thing that worries me is the slider. I'd trust nokia over SE for the slider as Nokia has more stury device in my opinion.

LG Viewty Smart - Excellent phone, no 3.5mm jack though

Other wise good, havn;t heard much on it? Don't like touchscreen call +call end buttons, i'd prefer non touch ones.

LG Arena - Heard battery is muck? Again, don't like touchscreen call +call end buttons, i'd prefer non touch ones.

Sorry for the long post.

Thanks

Very funny.

Heck, i'd take a 6230i over the N900.

Good luck with your lack of MMS yeah:P

Seriously though,any ideas? I'm lost

are you on a budget by any chance ?

if not i'd go for the Samsung Jet.

Not really. Just anything apart from the N97 on Meteor Bill Pay only. Around <149.99

Thanks mate. Why do you suggest that?

Never really sent mms, BUT this will be added in a future firmware update.
