Take a look at the N95 in the flesh if you haven't already. I found it to be a great phone massive when I saw it. I normally have the phone in my pocket.
The N82 is similar in functionality but has a differnt form factor, still found it quite big though.
I looked at the K850i, but it didn't seem to offer significant advantage over my K800i. In the end I went for a cheap PAYG skypephone on 3. Until something better comes out....

K770i is a nice new Sony Ericsson type. Nothing revolutionary just a good solid 3G handset with decent camera. Everything a good phone should be.
The K850i and N82 both look and feel very plasticy and cheap.
Nokia 6500 slide is a nice classic weighty blokes phone while the N95 8GB the best for the added features such as camera and GPS but very bulky.
For something a bit different try the mini PDA style HTC touch.

I got a N95 8GB yesterday, it's not that big, fits in my pockets okay. First impressions is that it's good, had a few probs with my N73, but this with the 8GB memory feels a lot better.

Vodafone have it free on a £30 pm contract (although you need to add on the internet bundle).
