Default Which Mobile

The time has come round to change the mobie, but which one.

I currently have a K750i.

I was tempted by the Motorola V3x, but after playing around with the wifes V3 and V3i, was turned way off by the menu system.

So what do I go for.

I'd like the spec of the K750i but a larger screen.

What do you want the phone for? Most phones will do calls, texts, calendars etc. just pick one that has a menu that's easy for you and that feels right.

If you want something a bit more advanced then get a smartphone so you can do e-mail, internet explorer etc.

I just got an O2 XDA mini S (with the slide out keyboard). For free on a £30/mnth tariff from mobileshop.co.uk. It's a Windows Mobile 5 PDA with all the gubbins. Little larger than a normal phone but has camera, email, word, excel, proper browser, etc. Lovely. With a 1GB mini SD card its an MP3 player as well.

Now that's what I'm looking for.

Well the 950i would have been if it had a camera.
