Default Another boring which phone thread

Hi guys

Current situation is Mrs has a contract phone on T Mobile which is up for renewal. I have a PAYG phone because i dont use it enough to warrent the monthly DD of a contract.

Now my Mrs is nice and lets me have the new phone every other year as shes not bothered in changing her phone every 12 months, and doesnt want me to look uncool and have a phone thats donkies years old.

So in a couple of weeks the contracts up and i have the choice of new phone. Question is which one can the ESC recommend? I'm not fussed about having an all singing one, just one thats fairly good, quite small and will last me 2 years without looking dated? I like Samsungs (have one at the moment) and Nokia's.

Help!

Surprisingly light & full of features.
So for the N96.

i spoke direct to T mobile the other day. The upgrades for me at the mo are CRAP!!!!

No freebies, cheapest one was £75 and was the worst phone. I'm a bit stuck as i need to keep the number otherwise i would just cancel the contract and start a new one with a free decent phone

If you call T-Mobile and get a PAC number, you can transfer your number to any company, makes things easier for Wilf too

Trying my hardest not to give in to the iPhone flock replacing an N95 and have been looking @ the new HTC Touch HD, Sony X1, and Blackberry Storm. Anyone in the know got any opinions on these phones or got any release dates?

Cheers,
Chris....
