I'd advise you to stick to the excellent 6310i until the 3G UMTS becomes more widespread.

Virtually every European businessman seems to have a 6310i because:
1. It looks smart
2. The batteries last for ages
3. It doesn't have silly kiddy-gimmicks like cameras, gaudy graphic displays, silly frog ringtones, MP3 players or other 'kewl yoof' nonsense.
4. It's a good, simple, effective telephone - 'two and a half G' GPRS, so you can programme in an aviation Wx site and get the latest TAFs and METARs. Very handy, that!

Incidentally, quite a few places are now banning camera phones over concerns about industrial espionage!
