Looking for a new phone

[Moose]

I was going to get an iTouch for my birthday... but I have a shit phone so I came to the conclusion that a new phone might be of better use.

I am looking to pay around

I'm going to reccomend my own Samsung F700, check out the first post in the what phone you have thread. It's in you budget and the QWERTY pad makes texting so easy.

Samsung Omnia
I have one myself VERY sexy phone and runs on windows mobile.
pic doesnt do it any favours but:

Until it goes wrong. I love Samsung products, but their customer service, at least here, sucks.

Why not get a contract?

I second getting a contract. You will save a fortune in the long run.

I agree in the long run with all the free minutes, texts and such and no need to keep topping up it pays off in the long run.

I have a SIM-Only contract, so I just need a PAYG phone that I can unlock/put my SIM in.

Most PAYG phones come locked to the Sim card they come with and are a pig to unlock. You need to buy a SIM-Free phone that'll cost

 

[Moose]

Ah right... I'll think about going with a contract then, seeing as I can cancel my SIM-only with a months warning.

Any suggestions on good contract deals? I'd rather the contract be no more than

T-mobile flext is a nice deal. I think Mike's on the

 

[Moose]

What phone's are the best? I don't want an expensive contract and then a shit phone. I'm thinking N96? Omnia?

Also, I have amazing coverage on Vodafone, so I'd like to go with them.

I have had a look around, but TBH I'm too impressed by the deals.

 

[eldiablov]

I dont see much benefit in a contract unless you're gonna be using it ALOT.

 

[Seth]

First off if you going to spend the money for the n96 you mid as well get the n85 it like it big brother...

I dont know what kind of phone they have where you live... But right now I am in love with the Sony Ericsson's XPERIA X1

There also HTC Touch Pro

All can be unlocked and are not cheap.. Keep dreaming for these phones..

 

[yy3gp]

where is windowsmobile

 

[seanix]

The coming N86 is better than N96 actually.

But maybe more expensive anyway...LOL

Since you were thinking about getting an iTouch, why not just go with the iPhone. With a contact you can get an iPhone cheaper than an iTouch.

And I know the iPhone has its cons like its crappy camera, but do you really need a 5 megapixel camera on your phone anyways? Most people couldn't even tell the difference between them, unless they were side-by-side.

The only reason I recommend the iPhone is it's continued user dev support by thousands of people. There are apps for just about anything you need, and of course some fun games. I especially like the VNC app where I can control my computer from anywhere (got to love 3G). And with the new skype app, you can save money on minutes (and free skype to skype of course). $3 a month (local & long distance) for unlimited minutes beats anything any cell phone provider can offer.

When I was looking for a new phone, I was thinking about getting an iPhone or the N95. I decided to go with the iPhone, and i do not regret my choice. I love everything about it except iTunes, but if you already have had an iPod, you already know what that is like.

I believe Moose ended up getting a Ipod touch.Tho I dont believe he ever told us what phone he got.

I got the Nokia 5800 a while back... A bit disappointed now that the HTC Magic has been released in the UK. Oh well...

Id recommend the G1, or a palm device. They are really old, but hell, they are great.
