Is There Such A Beast?

I'm looking for a phone that has:
MP3 Player
Full Keyboard
Killer Camera and Video Recorder
Flash

Any suggestions?

The Nokia E90 is the only thing that comes to mind with a full QWERTY keyboard. Are you sure you need QWERTY? Most people that are looking for a phone with QWERTY don't know about the benefits of T9 and think they'll need QWERTY for a lot of typing that's much easier on T9.

^Agreed

Typing for me is much faster with T9

Have you ruled out a Treo/Iphone already? Killer camera means like a sony/nokia 5mp phone?

E90 does what you've listed, but its not aimed for Multimedia. I'd look into N95/N82 and consider T9. Ask JonnyB for tips.

Also, the TyTN II has a pretty good camera and everything you mentioned, not sure about the flash though. The only issue with that is HTC is having some issues with decent video playback, although, supposedly they near a solution.

I would agree with the other people in this thread though, if you aren't emailing or webbrowsing then T9 might be better for you given the additional models it opens up for you (N95, N82, K850i etc.). I mention Sony Ericsson because if you do do a lot of texting, IMO nobody does T9 better than SE.

Email actually comes out better with a 12-key because of the built-in auto correction the predictive text has.

Qbowl? (even though the cam is crap...)

I prefer T9 for texting only. If it comes to emails, where technical terms and other languages are used, QWERTY still is the best. For me atleast.

Yeah, this is what I was referring to more when I said emails. Besides, most decent smartphone have some type of spell checking ability builtin. And URLs are just hellish with T9.

I would've suggested the Tilt also, but the video recording on it is garbage compared to the E90 or any of the other higher end Nseries with the new video recorders.

I just picked up the N810 with QWERTY, stylus QWERTY, thumb board QWERTY, and handwriting recognition, and I STILL wish it had T9.

Thanks all. I guess I'm willing to give up the keyboard for a good camera. That's almost the most important thing to me. Camera with flash and video with light. I'm a film producer in a way
