Need opinions on a new phone, badly.

So I am using my girlfriends W810i right now, my V3 died (not that I miss it) but the damn keypad and screen are so small.

So here are the things I am looking for.....

850 band
good battery life
large screen size - at least bigger than the w810i
good keypad for someone with larger fingers as I do alot of texting
flip prefered but I could go for a slidder I guess
decent camera - I don't think I have ever seen a flip with auto-focus though

I don't care about a music phone as I have an mp3 player for that.

I know that's asking for alot, but any advice would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance.

just get a w810i white, give that to your girlfriend and let her give you the w810i black to use so you have a pair of contrasting phones in terms of color. W810i hands down

My big problem with the w810i is that the phone is so small in my hands, and the keypad feels even smaller. Since I send out about 50-75 texts a day it's a real pain in the butt.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

That is exactly what my wife and I did. She has my black one, I bought a white one, and we are trying to sell her RIZR with little luck.

W810i like posted above. Great phone, even for texting.

Large keys are hard to come by these days. QWERTY keyboards are great for texting, I'd recommend a phone with that. I can type out a few paragraphs for half an hour on my E62 without any problems. E61i would fit your bill, except that it's a bar phone, and the keys are small but work much better than a regular keypad for texting.
