Hi, I'm looking for a new phone to replace my recently busted Nokia N95 which I've been using for years. I resisted upgrading because I wanted to see how long it can really last. I've got my answer: 8 years!

Now I'm looking for a new phone. I'm hoping to replace with a number keypad type, but it seems these days number keypad type are obsolete, only available in the entry market.

I don't fancy touch screen phone. I prefer keypad one. Is there anymore high end number keypad (not QWERTY) phone in the market? I'm so familiar with the N95, so I would appreciate a phone with similar functions improved.

These are the specs I need:
1. Numerical keypad entry (0-9, directional keypad, NOT QWERTY)
2. Large enough screen for occasional web access
3. Good camera (back)
4. Front camera
5. Wifi, GPS, 3G
6. SD card
7. Decent processor and RAM
8. Brand/OS does not quite matter (I'm not really an app guy)
9. Good battery life
10. Candy bar style (had enough of slider problems)

Thanks a lot!

b) buy second-hand Nokia Lumia 800 for RM 450 (from a friend)?

Nope

Note 2/s3/920

Take new set better lo

hi are you sure note 2 have a large battery life? i'm currently using galaxy note for a year now. the battery life is horrible couldn't get me through a day. always have to bring along a battery bank.

i'm not sure about s3 and lumia 920 battery life though. will check those 2 out first.

s3 battery should be around the same with note
just slightly lower battery capacity and screen size

and note 2 battery life totally very good, can ask the user at its official thread

Depend on the usage..
