Looking for new phone advice...
 
For an upcoming trip to Turkey I am looking for a symbian phone with the following attributes:

Cheap as sh**
Crazy battery life
USB charging
GPS
WIFI

I want symbian due to it's excellent battery life and PROPERLY integrated SIP stack.

Any suggestions?

One of the smaller ones? 5600 etc?

N86, it's a good phone with great camera and has keys. Pretty decent battery life too.

Go for N82 or E71 or E72 if usb charging doesn't matter much ;) USB charging on these older, IMO better, symbians are pretty rare unfortunately.

N85, also matches your criteria, N97 mini (this is the better version of the N97, which was not so great device :P )

I would recommend buying an used N8. 90 euro on ebay and you get a great camera for your trip next to a great gps too. Considering the battery, get a powerbank..

I'd go for a used C7 (NFC, FMTX,WIFI, GPS...), it is the most gadgetized Cx I know of or go for a new C5 not as good but that depends on the trip duration...

Ah the N8, it was always a fun machine to play with. Camera on it is still one of the best I've used, very reliable and cheap.

I'd get 701. Camera is better than in c7, costs pretty much the same as n8. It's much faster and you get fp2 which is very nice.
