Default New Mobile Phone Recommendation

Hi all


Didnt know whether to post this here or Commputer related.....

I am after a new mobile phone which will tell me when I have a new email and let me read it (I dont reply with war and peace either). The only other thing I want is to make calls, no music, no photos, no pinching your fingers together to zoom etc.

I've had a Blackberry Pearl but I've broken it and I don't want to order another on a 12 month contract even though it has been brilliant.

I won't buy Nokia as I tried one of those N80 things and it was worse than useless (6 hour battery life and constant crashing FFS). I like the look of some of the new Sony Ericsson ones but I'm not sure how good the email is?

TIA

Dave

GSMArena.com - GSM reviews, opinions, votes, manuals, ringtones and more...

Best place to get good opinions and reviews, as well as checking the full spec on each phone, and compare them.

I`ve got a SE P1i which is superb and does what you want :

Buy a Sony Ericsson P1i (UK, QWERTY, Silver), #P1i - eXpansys UK

While over looking at this have a look at the ASUS smartphone that is on offer at the moment aswell.

Why not stick with the Pearl, seeing as you know how it works?

I know you said you've had problems with the N80 but this Nokia might be worth a look...

Nokia 6300 is an excellent piece of kit. Never used it for email, but for day to day usage, for any Nokia people its the new 6230i

My 6500 slide is on order now

Both very good
