It’s getting close to the time when I’m looking for a new handset /contract. Which is something that I love and hate at the same time,

There’s a whole load of things that my device must be able to do.

• 2 mega pixel camera
• Decent set of Bluetooth profiles
• Proper smartphone functions
• Battery life longer than a couple of days
• Easy to use interface
• Music player
• Torch
• Expandable Memory
• Enough Whizzo to impress friends

Now the obvious contender is one of the new HTC devices.. but the 5500 has one major feature that non of the HTC stable has (and I’m not talking about Symbian here). It’s a waterproof, dust-proof, shockproof, rucksack-proof device that isn’t going to make it’s owners do the maths about screen replacement after you’ve bounced it off the concrete.

(and it also acts as a training monitor that syncs with your pc.., and has an accelerometer in it that either acts as a pedometer, or lets you play Wii style games, so that’s the whizzo sorted)

Steve Litchfield from AllaboutSymbian reckons it’s the Swiss army knife of phones, and when did your last swiss army knife fall apart?

Here’s the video review from AllAboutSymbian
