iPhone. Though you'd probably class that as too expensive.

Any new Nokia's are generally good.

Jogging was your first mistake.

No way. I've used one, and they're little more than the usual overpriced toys Apple is known for.
Easy to use? Yes, but they sacrificed functionality to do so. Tons of it. The damn thing can't even multitask properly, something even fucking windows mobile phones can do. And based on my short time with my nokia 5800, I'd *much* rather have multitasking than the gimmicky multitouch.
And then there's the screen. Sure, the sensativity of a capacitive screen's all nice and good until you come across something that needs precision, like text entry and editing. And the only way to get that on a touch screen is resistive.
Te safari browser is smooth-ish, though slow compared to some other phones I've used, and it can't even play flash lite- somethig other browsers can do.
They cripple their app potential by only allowing 'approved' apps too. Don't quote some ridiculously high number in the store either, you know damn well most of it's junk. Android impressed me far more on that front and if the hardware ad been better I'd have a G1 rather than my Nokia 5800.

And the apps aren't that bad on the symbian front either when you consider that you can actually multi-task. Hell, I can run torrents on my phone if I wanted lol
