what phone?
« on: 17 May 2010, 17:31:26 »
I am due a phone upgrade  but i dont know what one to get

I would like a smart phone  but not an apple I-phone

i have a sony erricson c905 just now and love the 8mp camera  which gives great results so i would like something with a decent camera

 oh and decent size button cos i have fingers like pigs tits  :y

anyone got any ideas?

You MUST go for the new (ish) Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 cannot be faulted IMO.

My Nokia 5800 is pretty good. Comes with 8GB memory so holds loads of music etc. It has a decent camera (5MP) and you can get apps (just like the I-Phone). I have also got Sat Nav on mine which is very good :y

The Xperia X1 is a sack of rubbish.  Not sure if Xperia X10 is made by HTC, but if it is, best avoided, as HTC have lost their mojo...


In fact, all Windows phones, it saddens me to say, should currently be avoided, as the new version due out later this year is not backwards/forewards compatible, so current models will become obsolete very quickly  :'(

indeed, Windows were fine with slide out keyboards, but since most touch screen phones dump the stylus, windows has struggled.

I have an Android handset, but thats thats not much cop either, its sluggish, no doubt to the crap HTC is pumping out these days  :(

Also have  Nokia 5800 in the office in box of 100's of phones, and quite frankly, it is the worst phone i have ever used, it is just appalling. Nokia have lost their way too, no way near what they were.

iPhone is way to go, as an actual phone its not that great, its also a tad big, but as a multi-media device its outstanding. I use my phone more for internet, apps, and texting than actual calls.

You are going to get varying replies - Nokia X6 is my latest and is fine for my purposes with fair camera, maps, music etc.

iPhone... i have one and cant fault it. i also have a Blackberry Curve but the buttons are far too small... if u go Blackberry get the Storm2... they have now included wifi with this one unlike the first Storm (and its touch screen but i would imagine the buttons to be larger then that of most non-touch phones)
