Good Simple Robust Phone

Hi,

Please help. I'm after a good simple mobile phone that can make/receive
clear calls, does not have an external antenna, can store unlimited numbers
of SMS messages, and has a decent camera.

Previously I was using the Nokia 8210, and I loved the simple
straightforward layout and doing SMS messages was perfectly straightforward.

I switched over to the Motorola V600 - my friends recommened the change- but
I hated the cumbersome SMS system of text messaging and the antenna kept on
poking me in the pants. I kept on taking it out and placing it on the
counter- and eventually - I lost it.

I want to switch back to the Nokia. But with so many choices I'm baffled.

I don't really have need for 3G, WAP. My gf uses a Sony Erikson. There is
some talk about mobiles having

I'm my eye on the Nokia 6280 or 6111 - but the reviews say they don't have a
Symbian interface... whatever that is. But they are relatively small and
would fit easily into my pocket.

Any recommendations? I guess I'm after a 8210 with a good camera and
reasonable battery life.

Thanks.

You did not list a carrier. If it is a CDMA provider, I would suggest
the Nokia 6255 with an add in memory card.

Sorry, GSM.

I narrowed my search down to the Nokia 6111, 6280, the Nokia 6230, 6233 and
the Nokia 6030.

I do like the Nokia 6280 and 6111. Its a beautiful design. But according to
some reports, fairly faulty.

The Nokia 6230, 6233 and 6030 seem pretty good. I'm just wondering which was
has better features- like a more detailed organizer- that reminds you of
meetings or stuff to do at various times of the day?

6102i.
