Wow, heavy phone. For cycling, I have a Motorola F3. 71g, dirt cheap so it doesn't matter if you lose it, and according to one test/review it can even survive a wash cycle if you accidentally leave it in your jersey pocket.

Yes, I suppose. But again, for my phone - I wasn't going for weight by itself. I also factored in its dimensions/formfactor and features.
It has a stunning 5MP camera that uses a glass Karl Zeiss lens. Although I don't have the apps that an iPhone has, I wanted the camera. Doing a lot of climbing means that I tend to put myself in very remote, beautiful places - a camera is good.

Fair enough - I was just thinking of an 'emergency' phone. If I didn't keep spending my money on bike parts, I'd have an N82 as my main phone.
