Another Mobile thread

I think my post in another thread got lost so I thought I'd start my own. Here's my question:

My contract is due for renewal shortly and I'm going to get a free upgrade since I'm a long standing high value customer. I'm not swapping from Orange as I pay very little and get a lot - I've checked and there are not really any deals out there that compete to make me want to change. Besides I'm happy with Orange - been with them for 8 years without any issues.

I've got an SPV (c600) which I've loved (I've had it and the c500) over the past 2/3 years. It's great, I can install apps on it, store files and notes on it, and most importantly I can synchronise with Outlook (other PIMs too, but for the moment Outlook is the testbed). As an additional it's great as I've currently got over 1000 texts in my inbox.

It's quite fast, has lots of storage, the camera is good enough for little snaps (I'm NOT interested in a great camera as I have a digital, however it's handy for a quick snap for MMS'ing).

Now here's the dilema, I'm quite happy with a smartphone as I'm used to it, but I wonder whether or not I should try something else?

My requirements are that it can support 3G (though not bothered about video calling or anything like that) on a good HTML based browser. It can synch with Outlook. Has a lot of storage, and has the potential of installing apps on it. A camera is not essential. It has to be quick, and functional and have a decent sized screen. Decent talk/stand by time would be great.

I'd be happy to go back to Sony Ericsson or go back to a Nokia, however I don't really like LG, Motorola or Samsung. There are the other smartphones out there with orange such as the M700 or the M3100 (though it's a bit big and not sure if I need something that big). However I've seen phones such as the W880i which does seem quite cool small and funky, big screen, small size etc. It's got the walkman thing which I think is a bit of a gimick and something I doubt I'd use as I have an ipod - but does it fulfil all my needs?

Anything else you can suggest? Or is there anything that might fulfill my needs that I've missed?
