I'm torn

I'm consider possible future successors for my beloved Sony Ericsson W910i.

But there's so many choices it's difficult. I've lined up contenders in alpha order here:

HTC
Touch Diamond - stylish touchscreen WinMo with a new stylish interface to complement
Touch Pro - Touch Diamond w/ full QWERTY keyboard

Nokia
N78
N82 - fantastic 5mpix, xenon flash, Zeiss optics camera assembly (results are good, for a cameraphone, from what I see)
N95 - similar to N82, except just LED flash
N96 - successor to the N95

Samsung
F480 - stylish touchscreen with a very useful AND pleasant interface

Sony Ericsson
K850 - flagship Cyber-shot phone, but the N82 has more accurate colour and better sharpness

When it comes down to it, I'm leaning more towards the N82 (good camera to carry around, Symbian, GPS, WiFi, 3G [Europe/Asia only for now]) for function. For plain showing off and "just cause", I'd get a Touch Diamond or F480. Yes I know that's shallow. The N82 is fantastic and it'll fill all my wants of a cell. But the other two.. damn. They look fantastic.

P.S. Apple iPhone is absolutely out of the question.

Edit: As part of my 'convergence', I possibly might use the next phone as my primary mobile media device. The Nseries are particularly good since they have a 3.5mm jack. If I use a phone, I can actually use a physical keypad to quickly find music.

Edit 2: The leaked 8.1MP Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot C905 "Shiho" slider phone looks nice too. But noise is a concern for me (EIGHT MP). Test results and reviews will reveal.
