Dont wait for expected release phones. Because when it releases, there will be a next model up for expected release. As long as your requirements are satisfied, you should go ahead with what is available. After reviewing this whole thread, fellow members have already pointed out to you the best available phones for your budget. Namely the ZN5 and the K810i. You can read the reviews of those two phones on gsmarena and decide for yourself which suits your requirements the best. Cos to each his own. I bought an N82 when it was already 18 months in the market, and it still happens to be the best in the category (well, according to me). Choose wisely, you will be happy whatever the market comes out with whenever. Cheers!
