New samsung Pixxon

Anyone got one and what do they think of it?

 

The sat nav function I am told by the shop operates off google maps. Does that mean it only works when you have an internet connection? Its a long term decision a phone (18 sodding months now) so I want to make a good decision. I'm a bit put off because its not windows mobile based OS like its predecessor but if it all works as advertised I shouldn't have to add stuff to it. Cracking it to use foreign sims when abroad might cause me a concern though.

The tocco isn't really that much smaller and just doesn't add up for me specwise. I don't want any phone that doesn't have sat nav having had one for two years.

 

Ditto :)

 

Been looking at the Iphone, blackberry (bold on orange as I'm on now or the storm on vodafone) or the Nokia E71 :)

E71 hmm goes to look at that one. Oh and I shall have a satisfying morning finally telling orange to go away in a less polite way :D MMM not liking the look of that. Small screen and very fiddly looking buttons.

 

I know what you mean about the small screen....I'm thinking less to scratch but would rather have it larger than that. The fiddly buttons didn't bother me as I have dainty fingers :D

 

Know what you mean about Orange as well as I've been with them for over ten years now and last year they basically royally screwed me over.

Agh I have to stay with orange until february, I can upgrade now but can't cancel until January. I can't use my phone at work which I spend 12 hours a day at. There is next to no signal at home or any one elses home that I visit so as a phone its utterly useless. I don't expect to have to stand outside to make a half garbled phone call which is what I've ha dto deal with for 14 months so far. GRRRRRR..

The E71, Bold, Storm and Pixon are good phones. I work for 3 (not everyone's favourite network I know) and we've had a look at some of those phones and we have the E71 and tocco, due to get the Bold in Jan. I'd enquire about the Blackberry storm as that's one of the most popular phones we get asked about, that and the iPhone (always ask to see a live demonstration model)

What did you end up with in the end DB?

 

I've just come to the point where I can get an upgrade from Orange but being three months from the end of my contract they're still shafting me with what phones I can have.

 

Looks like I'm going to let them run the contract down and move to another provider.

 

:(

I'm in the same boat I have to wait until the end of the month to cancel then another month until it runs out :( Omnia does look like a good and sensible middle ground.

 

Agreed.

 

The guy on the phone tried to tell me that the cheap phones were basically only given to new customers and not upgrades as "orange are a business and I have to understand that".

 

When I turned it back on him and said, "so what you're telling me is I should wait until my current contract has run out then change provider?" he tried to say no :rolleyes:

Weird thats exactly who I used to get the phone I have now. Think I will keep an eye on that as I am stuck with orange for a month due to giving notice in a week. Cheers for that heads up. I would actually like to stay HTC as I've had a HTC phone now for 3 or more years and I love them. The M2000 was a corker, the M700 a more pocket friendly version so a quicker more modern variety is the natural step for me. You know what I am going to get that one. I like the look of it I really do and I like the deal as well. Mrs is adamant she wants the pixon so she'll get that.

Just got a text from Orange today asking me about my recent phone call with one of their representatives and asked me to call back and fill in an automated satisfaction survey.

 

Needless to say I voted 'poor' or 'dissatisfied' for all five questions. :badmood:

Hi all,

Recently moved away from orange, best move i could have made. Poor reception at home and work. Went back to vodafone, better coverage but not too go on the phones on offer. Anyway, bought a N96, not impressed. It's very slow switching apps, seems to have a mind of its own on some things. Keeps on asking me if i want to connect to the internet.:angry:

Might be worth seeing if there is a forum for what ever phone you are thinking of. I checked out the N96 forum after I bought mine. If i knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have bothered.

Just my opinion, mind :p
