Just what the title says really, ideally on Voodoophone but could always get it unlocked.
Oh, needs to have Bluetooth too.
Any ideas?

the old Nokias were good not sure if there's a new one. i did manage to destroy both i had 5210 (total submerged for 10 minutes!) and 5100 (worked on a roof and dropped it, still ok. put wrong charger in it and it never worked again).
i would definitely get a 5100 for that old school cool!
having gone through 3 phones in 3 months
it was time to change and get a water/dust/shock proof one
.... slim,not bulky so it slides in your pocket easy, recommended!!
cost £80 sim free

I have a Samsung M110, which is indestructible, CE rated dustproof etc, and has a little torch in it. It's also a terrible, terrible phone to use. My old 5100 did exactly the same job, far better, 7 years ago. Though it didn't have the samsung's appalling camera.
Unfortunately finding a decent 5100 is pretty hard now, the lifespan of nokias seems to be, well, less than 7 years- I replaced mine with a recon but it didn't last, and went out the exact same way as the old one- losing network for no good reason.
There is now an upgraded Samsung Solid Extreme which addresses all the problems with the old Solid M110. The original is a phone with bluetooth that makes calls sends texts and has a good loudspeaker on it and is indestructable, love mione to bits. I have a camera for taking pictures and my phone is for phone calls.
+1 for the Samsung M110, perfect biking phone. Not sure I could go back to it as my everyday phone tho.....
Am very happy with a Crackberry Curve in an Incipio shock cover, wrapped in a dry bag for riding. Tough as nails.
I've had a nokia 3720 since Christmas, and it's been fine so far - has been in an outside pocket of a rucksack and got pretty wet, and has been dropped a few times, but not showing any problems/dents. Only issue I have is that it's so much smaller & lighter than the old 5120 that I keep losing it in my pockets...
