Cell phone mania

From last few days I am thinking of changing my cell phone and buy a more decent piece. Now you might ask what is descent? To answer that, a cell phone must have following features to be called as descent,
1. Good screen size and resolution. I should be able to see the screen in sun light
2. Good internal memory (at least 50 MB), Support to expandable
3. FM radio (these days lots of radio stations are available so its nice to have this feature)
4. Music player (with support to atleast mp3 format)
5. Good calender option (I have this habit of setting reminders a lot)
6. Hands free (I use speaker phone a lot since at many places I have read that cell phone waves are dangerous for your health. I'm not sure whether its true but can't take chances :)
7. Good battery backup (battery should have standby time of atleast 4 days, I don't like to plug my phone frequently)
8. Durable (not that I've ahabbit of throwing my phone but if it falls by mistake I need not have to see the authorized service center :) Actually I'm a very good user of the cell phone and use them very carefully.
9. Weight of the cell phone <=100 gms
10. Dimensions (I don't like bulky phones since it becomes very difficult to carry them around)

Things which are not important to me (but I've seen shop keepers telling these things first)
1. Camera feature (VGS, megapixel, zoom...blah blah blah). I don't like cell phones with camera since I like using my Kodak digital camera which gives me professional photos like quality
2. Speaker noise (I use headset always so this is not important. I've seen shopkeepers actually playing music loudly :)
3. Games (again I hardly play games)


I have been using Nokia 2626 for last couple of years. It's a very basic phone with no fuss here and there. It is giving me trouble free service for last 2 years. The only problem with the phone is the screen display in the sunlight. This is a known issue with this piece.

I'm researching on the latest phones available in the market. Let's see how it goes. Will keep posted.
