Surely trying to read an ebook on an iPhone screen is going to be really ****ing painful?

You either need tiny text that will strain your eyes or limit yourself to two or 3 lines of text at a time...

To be serious(ish) for a second, I agree. I've had enough of my TyTNII, in fact I would eve go so far as to say I don;t like it much anymore. WM6 is slow and clunky compared to the OS on my iPod Touch, which just makes me want an iPhone. Plus I'm a corporate whore with a StrawBerry now so I don't need the email features. If I could give the HTC away for a smart thin handset that has a superb battery life and decent coverage, I'd do it. Only smartphone app I'd miss is Google Maps.

CBS, how about the Nokia 6500?

Not a nokia fan. If Samsung did a small slider I'd be sold

I've thought about the iPhone but I'm not concinced WiFi coverage would be decent enough to justify the £35 per 18 month contract cost plus £100 phone costs. I don't care if it begins with an "i", I'm not going to suck Jobs' dick.

As you say, most phones these days do far more than you need them too. Trouble is, if you want to be able to read eBooks then you need something fairly good but then it will come loaded with junk you don't want, and usually at a price.

I'm happy with my Touch Diamond and it will do what you want. But I wouldn't recommend it as a "simple" phone.

I have the none slide version... and I have only just activated it but it's gooooood!

Canny help you if you're not a nokia lover. Tis all I have ever had - they're Pheebs proof see.
