Default Dunno what phone to get

Looking for something capable of music, web, email, pics.

Something that looks hot and has top technology.

Please dont say the N95 (its a brick) or the Iphone (****e pics).

Was thinking of the soon to be released N81 (but only has 2mp camera)? I currently have the N80 btw. I do find it bizarre that Nokia releases a new model with a poorer camera!!!!

Also I'm on 3 on a similar deal to the flexi-t 35 where you get £180 credit. So need something similar.

Anyone know of anything decent coming out soon?????

I just got a Nokia N73 and it seems fine to me, not as bricky as the N93 or N95, battery life seems fine, not been charged since last friday and still going strong.

An excellent review of the iPhone well worth the read.

The iPhone is a piece of ****, and so is your face.

the gadget show didnt think much to the iphone. strange why so much effort has been put into it but the camera and movie aspects are useless.

I'm hoping for a 3G version, not that I use 3G much, if at all.

Amusing review Wurzel

The iphone for its design thinking is a good idea. As a pda style phone it works well with a built in ipod.


Sorry, I don't care about phones with camera's in, I don't fecking need a camera in my phone, I have 7 cameras to choose from all of them better than any camera you will find in a phone.

The reason I won't be getting an iPhone (and I am a mac fan) is I am not paying £260 quid for a handset and then 35 quid for 200 mins of network time. I get more than that for less with my T-mobile contract.

I'll second that. Got one a few weeks ago as an upgrade from a W810i. Very well put together with everything you need and more.

No the UK and European iPhones will not have 3G. It has been rumored that the next revision of the iPhone may be 3G. From what I recall, the reasoning behind not going 3G is due to chipset size/integration and more importantly a bigger drain on battery life.

just phoned 3 and asked when I can upgrade. Sir you have an 18 month contract (WTF - when dide they changed from 12 months?).
Then they said since Jan - Ive had the phone since Aug last year!!!! I dont have any proof as chucked it. Great now stuck with N80 ****e til next Aug!

Asked if I could pay to upgrade to maybe a Viewty. Yes sir, £200 plus another 18 month contract!!!!

How the heck do you get out of these deals now!!! Most phones dont last 10 months never mind 12, let alone 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked this question a bit back and got met with basically **** all response,

So I got myself an N73, quite like it, the only thing that is missing on it for me is wireless, but I can live without that

Its great for me and means I can virtually ditch my Pocket Loox now, as the N73 has a better camera, plays movies, runs Tom Tom better
