New mobile phone recommendation required
« on: 10 May 2009, 10:46:22 »

I have particular requirements which rules out ABC or XYZ.  Think I have narrowed it down to

Ericsson Xperia X1
HTC Touch Pro


My current phone, a 3 or 4 year old HTC Hermes has been brilliant (apart from Vodafone having no service around my way, despite their claims otherwise), but is starting to get a bit tired.

As well as the phone, cheapest place to get, with or without contract (if on contract, prefer 900Mhz, so I can chuck the SIM in the car)

How about an iPhone, or do you specifically want a keyboard that has real buttons?

a) they are utter shite
b) doesn't do what I need it to do
c) ill thought out piece of crap
d) I won't mention d, as being a new member, you may not be entirely familiar with my views on Apple shite ;)


gayPhone v1 and v2, as well as having piss poor radio reception (a big problem for me, as Voda doesn't work too well here), lacks absolute fundamental basic mobile features:

No MMS
No ability to forward text messages

Apparently both fixed at Apple's 3rd attempt.

I am edging towards the Touch Pro, mainly due to better keyboard.


Both are actually made by HTC, which is why they are top of list - HTC seem to be the people who make the best Windows phones...

I've got a Nokia E71... Generally very impressed but there were a few things that Nokia didn't think about. It doesn't have a decent connection manager as standard and the free download for Smartconnect is OK but doesn't do seamless roaming >:( And for some reason it won't connect via WiFi unless there is a mobile signal present too.

There are work arounds for these but it's just a little frustrating! The 3.5G connection is handy for surfing on the move though! :y :y :y

My friend has just got a HTC Touch Pro and loves it even with the odd lockup (new software fix due out any day to fix it)
I have the Nokia 5800 and am finding it really good and easy to use.
depends on what you want to do with the phone at the end of the day
