hi

im gonna try get an upgrade off o2 (i read the thread about someone trying that...but still).

i need to know what phone to get though!

atm i have a SE k700i; which is shocking. the joystick is very tempramental, its slow, the plastic is ugly... ugh.

i would like something with the following features:
-good calendar (i use this LOTS)
-not too big
-preferably good battery life (the SE is dead after a day's talking)
-looks good
(-mp3 ringtones as an aside)
-NOT TOO EXPENSIVE IF I HAVE TO PAY SOME FOR IT (£<50 preferably!)

i was looking at:

nokia 6680 - i like (£20 maybe?)
nokia n70 - i like even more (but its like £100)
motorola razr (free)
samsung d600 (£20/30?)

i dont really want another SE cos of the problems ive had with this one. i had nokias before, but the older range (3210 etc etc) so i dunno how good the newer ones are. samsung and motorola are new to me, apart from playing on friends' phones.

help would be appppreciated!

My mate has the n70, it is basically a 6680 but with a nicer shell, better camera, and visual radio included. Well worth getting.

Don't get a RAZR if you text a lot. Motorola T9 is shit. Plus, there's an iTunes enabled RAZR coming out in the next few weeks anyway.

My ex has the Samsung; looks nice, but sound quality ain't all that (very quiet) and she's had a couple of SIM reader problems with it.

I have a RAZR and...

-it's already broken once
-it feels very slow (java n stuff especially)
-the ringtones are shit
-the T9 thing is strange (imo)
-the camera is poo, and you can't (usually) view images that other phones have made
-bluetooth functions are pretty restricted imo
-standard games are poo
-low built-in memory
-calender not syncable (afaik)

other than that it works just spiffingly :)

Its going to be expensive to start with. Especially as its around £500 to buy offline right now.

If it goes the way of the d500 you'll be able to buy it offline cheap as chips in a couple of months anyway.
