Phone Advice Needed

I'll be leaving for Hong Kong and China in three weeks time. I've got lists of things to purchase for my sister, friends and myself. But the one thing I would really like to take home with me is a new smartphone. Apparently, the gap between the Asian and North American cell phone market is beginning to close in. But we here in the west haven't quite caught up. So here are my top choices:

  • A Nokia N series phone. Preferrably the N96 but I'll be good with the N95.
  • The Samsung F480. Sounds like it might be a plane, not a phone.
  • The LG KF510.
  • The Blackberry Curve 8320. I hate that everyone has a friggin Blackberry.

So once I've figured out which one of these would suit me best, what should I watch out for to ensure I'm not going to be bringing back a brick? I'd like to think Hong Kong's capitalists aren't out to swindle me of my money, but one never knows. If anyone has any advice for lil ol' me, please feel free to leave me a comment or send me an email.

despite the so so reviews on the SE smartphone W960i, it's still next on my list just cause I'm a Walkman phone fan.

I vote for blackberry on your list, but if you really want a no-frills smartie that can really get the job done, take a look at the HTC TyTN II. It looks more like a pda than a phone, so it's a matter of style vs function. Another one to consider is the Asus P750, again, not as sleek as the LG phones but it has a load of features.
