Shopping for a mobile phone... how do I know which one is right for me?

[Mizz G]

Today, as most of my searches for a mobile phone usually start, my phone died when I was the least prepared for it. And I have no idea what I want to buy to replace it! I've never been on the ball when it comes to comparing gadgets, much less planning to buy them. I tend to just buy an affordable phone that works well, has a large memory, and supports a lot of multimedia.

I've been considering the iPhone for quite awhile, because my dad and boyfriend use them. It has most of the features I want, and I'm comfortable using it. But my country doesn't support 3G very well just yet. Plus, the price is kind of beyond what I'm willing to spend right now... although my dad would happily contribute financially if I'm going for it. But at least I should be able to show my dad that I've done my homework in researching the market (although I know I haven't been very good at it).

Most of my friends use BlackBerry, which is also savvy and more affordable than iPhone, but I'm not as crazy about it. I tried a demo of Samsung Corby but I absolutely loathe it. And I have no clue about other smartphones. My boyfriend suggests getting something with an Android operating system, but I haven't really tried any phones that have it so I don't know if I actually would like it.

Is there any websites out there where I can just get an easy, user-friendly comparison of some of the most versatile smartphones out there? Can I just take a quiz somewhere about my mobile phone habits, internet usage patterns, profession and lifestyle; and then it just tells me two or three phones that I might like, how much they cost, and what they can do for me. But if what I'm asking is just some ridiculously whimsical fantasy, then at least I'd like to come across a website where I can have practical comparisons in a table format or so.

Here are some features that I'm looking for in a mobile phone:
- HUGE memory
- High resolution graphics and sound
- Internet access: browsing, facebook, twitter, various instant messengers, skype, push e-mail, instant access to news portals
- Photo and video camera, ideally of 3.0 megapixels, but 2.0 is fine too
- Downloads and plays music, videos, and podcasts; and lets me organize my own playlists
- Records voice even to extended playback, in excellent quality
- Would be great if it also comes with simple apps to edit sound, video, and pictures
- Comes with a calendar which can be used to organize schedules, make to-do-lists, and prompt me to do things on time
- Touch screen, with QWERTY support
- Just a whole package that I'm absolutely in love with!

Thank you
