looks like my wife (whos currently using a beaten up SE C905) aint too keen on the Galaxy 5 even if its only for temporary use...so need some suggestions

1. Brand
Any

2. Budget
Less than RM650

3. Specs
See usage below

4. Type/Size. (Candybar, Clamshell etc...)
Candybar only..no slider or clamshell etc etc. minimizing moving parts


Usage:
Lots of SMS so need something that types easily
Facebook via Wifi
Web browsing via Wifi
Taking Pictures (3.2mp above with flash)
Taking videos
USB Connectivity for charging and data transfer preferred.
light gaming



so is there any that fits the requirement?


EDIT: added stuff...will add more if anything else comes to mind.

Most phones have problem just minor or big. If it doesnt effect you why worry? U choose another model it have its problem even satio and vivaz if u do detail research your notice alot of problems is there too

u referring to the nokia or the SE charger port?? if the SE then yes its affected me and my wife...hate the damn thing..vowed never to get a phone with that kinda stupid port ever again.

if nokia...thats why im asking...wanna find out how bad it actually is before i buy it and it ends up affecting me or my wife. if its minimal cases than not too bad la...but still wanna know about the general good/bad of the C6.



anyway...any other phones that suits my requirement?
