Meet the sexy Sony Ericsson G900.

You'll recall my personal musts from my new phone from my post below, and this more than meets the requirements.

The RAM is a great 128MB, and this is THE most important thing to me. The processor is a little less powerful than my current phone, which is a bit sucky - but it's not really of much consequence to me - everything else rather makes up for that. Plus, it has WLAN - mega-important for futureproofing, as we'll ditch network charges in favour of Wi-Fi once we've moved.

It has both touch screen and pad controls, very cool, and it boasts a 5MP camera which utilizes touch screen for focus and centering, and actually has a video light for filming in dim places. The phone supports a variety of media filetypes, too, which is very handy.

Details on the phone at the moment are preliminary estimates, as the final full spec list has not been released, but it's looking good. It's a Symbian, and it also comes with the latest version of Opera Mobile built-in. Of course, Opera Mobile needs to be purchased after the trial period, but it's a one-off payment on a good investment. Also, expandable memory handles M2 cards up to 8GB, phone memory is around the 150MB mark.

I do favour Sony Ericsson phones and cameras. I've never found an equal to this company, and this phone reaffirms my sentiments. I like the look of this sexy little candybar, and at just £300 sim-free price, I'm waiting for the catch. Don't disappoint me, guys, cause I'm pretty damn excited by this pretty little wonder.

UK release date for the Sony-Ericsson G900 is the first week in June this year. I'll be watching this one closely.
