What phone should I get?

[ciphergoth]

I need a new phone. I'm almost totally at a loss about what I want. I don't know whether I should get a smartphone, or whether the browser/diary/etc facilities of a normal phone are enough. Any ideas?

Rules (updated):

• 3G, Bluetooth
• No Microsoft
• Must work in San Francisco

Update: Currently tempted by the Sony M600i...

Sony-Ericsson phones in general are pretty good. I really love my K800i, but I dont use it as a general diary. Opera Mini runs on it though, and dispite the small screen, works really well for web browsing. 3G and Bluetooth just work.

Orange decided, however, in the last N months or so, that 3G data should cost the same as 2.5G data, so there are no cheap, decent data bundles any more. The other networks are doing the same, I think.

T-Mobile's Web 'n' Walk service gives you unlimited mobile internet connectivity (for certain values of "unlimited"), unless I've seriously misunderstood things.
