hadyn Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Does anyone have any ideas on good phones and contracts I could go for? Im tempted to go for the Sony Ericsson K810i, as it has a 3.2 megapixel camera, a 1gb memory card for free and Sony seem to make very reliable phones with lots of features. Only problem is, everyone will have a K810i and I would like something a bit individual if possible. http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phon...emory/overview/ Another option is LG prada, only a 2 megapixel camera, but does have a nice touchscreen facility and is a nice stopgap till the i-phone comes out over here at the end of the year. Dont know if 'Prada' emblazened on the phone would go with my hardcore image tho: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phon...phone/overview/ Samsung D900?? http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phon.../d900/overview/ Or how about the Samsung U600? http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phon...u600i/overview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I wouldnt touch the D900. I know 2 or 3 people who have had them. The screen is so thin, it breaks very easily. One of my mates opened the box it came in to find a cracked screen. Unless they have altered it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I'm a big fan of the Sony Ericsson phones, i would go for the K810i. After having a Samsung in the past i wouldn't go back. I was offered an upgrade from my K800i the other day and i liked the look of the U600 but i'm guessing i wouldn't like the phone so i left it and i think i'll just wait for the Apple Iphone.

hadyn Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Ive currently got a Sony K750i, boring as hell, but my god has it been a good solid and very useful phone over the last 18 months Ive had it. I guess everyone has a Sony, because they are good phones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 The Nokia N95 has some good features on it too like built in gprs with maps and stuff on, but apparently they're having a lot of bother with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 My girlfriend has got an N95 and its a great phone with a lot of features. Downsides are crap battery life, slightly slow now and again and good old nokia lock ups every now and again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I have a N95 and the battery life is alright if you don't leave the bluetooth on all the time. Just switch it on when you need it. Turning off wireless network scanning also helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it, now on my fourth. Earpiece packs in everytime. A friend of mine has a Sony Ericsson not sure of the model but its about 5mm thick, very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan999 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Sony Ericssons are great. My last 3 phones have been sony, not sure if I would change now. Only problem I have had with 2 of mine ( had them about 3yrs ) are the little button for scrolling does not work after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMiFFAD Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Ive got a SE K810i, top banana Had a W800 for the last 18 months, never let me down once. However i always keep them in a silicone cover, which means when i drop them in engine bays etc it doesnt scratch the rap out of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 i've had s700i, w810i, and finally w880i - bit of a sony fan. never had a problem with any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsides are crap battery life, slightly slow now and again and good old nokia lock ups every now and again Yeah what Jake said + update software. Seems, that first versions made to specific company requirements (orange, vodaphone etc.) was little buggy. Carl0s gave a link some time ago to "how-to" update stuff on N95, search this forum.

Ewen Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Nokia 8800 Scirroco here. It suits my image and lifestyle perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_surj Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Like most i'd recomend the sony k810. The slim one is the walkman range w880,very nice phone. U600 is nice but be honest we have alot of lg and samsungs coming back with the same old 'blank white screen' problem. N95 has loads of features but it has its problems like already mentioned. Found that alot of n95 user dont exit the applications, instead just press the red button. Application carries on running in the background which causes freezing or switching off.hold menu key to show running apps. The new sony out next month with 5meg camera and hsdpa internet. Wait for that mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 That 'pressing the red button not exiting apps" thing is a bit hit and miss. It exits TomTom just fine but not the radio. I must say though that the 5mp camera on the n95 is shite compared to even a basic real camera like an iXUS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
