Personall I would not touch a Motorolla or LG phone with a very long Stick. the Nokia N series have been plagued with software problems but they are getting better. Samsungs are ok, bit fragile with their designs. SE's are well built and well supported with 2 year waranties normally. Nokia 8600 is a gimmick, treat it as such, wanky phone in a shiney new package (IMHO!) I have a 6300 and its a phone and a reasonable camera, I also have a T-mobile MDA compact 3 which is probably brilliant but I won it and I don't use it (E-bay bound shortly)
Reviews are avaialbe on:

Re-read your post, if its a work phone take the N95. Does everything and with the newer software much improved

T-Mobile MDA Compact III for me.

I've got TomTom on it too, as there's a built-in GPS.

N95 all the way, latest software has stoped it crashing and such like and it is a good phone!

Phone, MP3, Camera, mostly. Have a Blackberry as well but plan to change this in next few months to a Windows Mobile 6 device. Understand we can get a plug in for our BES Server to allow this.

If you don't want the sav nav stuff then SE are the way forward. As for BES I have no idea I only deal with BIS.
