iPhone 3Gs, N97, HTC HD and Palm Pre are all contenders.

No, it's the Diamond2 with TouchFlo. I looked at the original iPhone and wasn't that impressed (cost v features). The Nokia I liked, but the battery life was too big an issue.

There is also a nice UI on this phone which masks Window Mobile 6.1 to a certain extent.

Quite tempted to buy one to be honest with you.

I've yet to see one, but it is getting some good reviews. I did have the original Touch Diamond for a couple of days, but wasn't overly impressed with it both in terms of performance and build quality.

An update to Windows Mobile 6.5 will be available for the Diamond2 at some point as well.

At the moment, I've got the HTC. Apart from a crappy camera, I can't complain at all - way better than the N95. I'd suggest changing the browser to Skyfire.

Contract is up for renewal in the next month so thought I would start to take a look at what handests are currently out there.

So, what's the "best" multimedia handset available at the moment?

I currently have a HTC Touch and would like a handset with more multimedia (watching downloaded content etc) capabilities as well as occassionally browsing t'internet.

I'm looking at the N97 (Nokia) when it comes out next month to replace the iPhone.

It has 32Gb onboard memory expandable by a further 16Gb (microSD)
Same 3.5 Inch screen as the iPhone but a better resolution
Full Qwerty keyboard

The HTC Touch HD seems to be well regarded by those I know that own the device, and both the HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2 are worth a look. El Reg seem to consider HTC devices to be the best iPhone alternatives at the moment.

New iPhone will be making an appearance soon, and they've fixed a lot of the stuff that put people off the first time around.
