  I know this sort of thing has been discussed at length before, but couldn't find anything in filter.

  My contract is nearly up so it's time to upgrade. I finally get to get rid of my shitty Nokia N95.

  Thing is, all the phones that are around at the moment are a bit rubbish.

  I was thinking of the Sony Ericsson C902:
  

  

  But is had mixed reviews.

  What are you guys and gals rocking at the moment and what is good/bad?

  Oh yeah, I nearly forgot – I don't want an iPhone, so I'll ignore the first 3 or 4 posts which inevitably will recommend I get an iPhone.

  Thanks.

  Ah, only joking, I stil have a piece of shit nokia with scratched, scrapes, bumps and teeth marks. I hate it, gonna upgrade too, but just ordered an iphone cos my iPods been acting a bit strange recently, so two birds one stone kinda thing.

  I like the look of the LG phones, esp the chocolate but I haven't heard good things about em.

  I went for the Samsung F480 (Tocco) and I would probably recommend against it if you're considering that. It's a shame, all the features are great but the actual call volume is poor to the point that I sent it back to be "repaired" so I'm waiting to see if that fixes it but I'm not holding my breath.

  I've gone back to the Blackberry pearl I had before I got the Samsung and to be honest, if you're looking for something simple and functional that does voice and email very well, you can't go far wrong with the Blackberry. I think the newer models have all sorts of other goodies like GPS/Mapping etc if you're into that.

  Well this is the thing really, I got the N95 because I was taking in by all the features... don't use any of them. GPS on a mobile? Doesn't work properly. WiFi on a phone? Who cares - can't see the point of it, never got it to connect to a router, not even at home... read PDFs and Office docs on a phone? Like that is ever going to happen... add to that the fact that it is painfully sluggish makes for a pretty bad experience...

  So what I'm saying is I don't really need all this web/email/wifi crap they cram into them these days... I've got an iPod touch for email and web and it works like a charm.

  I phone people, they phone me, I text and I take stupid photos and video's of my mates drunk in the pub, BUT, and this is the silly thing, I don't want to end up with some £14.99 super-basic phone that literally does nothing...

    i love the GPS on mine. i travel a lot around the world it works great!!– e-pill2/2

  ...it is a free upgrade after all, so while I should go for what I actually need, part of me thinks I should just get the most expensive handset they offer because, hey... why not?

  i have to say the "iphone" sorry.

  my contact with orange is up this month so id been looking around at other phones and providers.

  im not one for falling for the ol' Apple marketing campaigns but i have to say .... the new iphone is AMAZING!

  ive seen and owned a lot of gadgets over the years but this truly blows everything out of the water. usability is stupidly intuitive - even down to setting up your phone as a remote control for itunes - if this was a PC app or from another manufacturer then this would be a hellish process to get this working lol. with the iphone you just punch in a number into itunes and hey presto.

  • If I didn't have an iPod touch I would get an iPhone no question, but as I do... it's not an option. I would neglect the– Raniator1/2

    iPod and as it was a gift from the girlfriend, I'm safer just having the one.– Raniator2/2

  i have this the NOKIA N73

  

  it offers a ton more features than the iphone, has 2 cameras, a video camera, flash player, every adobe app, real player, am/fm radio, 3D sound, internet, email, radio... oh it totally works world wide as i am on the other side of earth still using it no probs and its cheaper well slightly than the iphone... the only thing it dont do which i can care less for is the touch screen capability.

  meh...

  Why on earth should anyone have to have iTunes installed to use an iPhone? Fuck that, fuck the extortionate tariffs, fuck shitty O2 network coverage, fuck-all-choice.

  I think one of the best phone ever made. No colour screen, no camera. Simple to use.

  

  • I smashed my 6210 in a wholly misguided fit of insurance-meddling rage.
    I still feel sick thinking about it.– detritus1/3

    I can attest to these models' aerodynamic capabilities - though not so much their impact or stomp tolerance.– detritus2/3

    had problems with the screens if i remember correctly– trooper3/3

  I have this one and it does every simple thing I need. Not sure if they still make it though.
