Anyone recommend a really good (or really bad to be avoided) mobile phone..

 

mate's just bought the new nokia 7250 camera fone....

wicked little number. photo's aren't exactly top quality but great to have a lugh with.

if you go to cr*phone warehouse you can try all the fones out....but u'll get a better deal off the net!!!!

 

Don't get a Motorola T720. It's so sloooooooooooooooooow!! Great looking phone wiuth nice features but it's a bag of poo. Crap for text messages as well. I also have a Panasonic GD87 (Vodafone Live!) which is very good. Nice colour screen, camera, polyphonic ringtones etc but you can't download any more games on to it.

 

Reviews and deals here

Good luck........It's a minefield. Whatever you get woill be out of daye in about 15 minutes from purchase...

 

Just bought meself a Nokia 3510i off ebay. Cost me £80 as against £130 in Carphone Warehouse. Has colour screen. Polyphonic ringtones, which are wicked, WAP and GPRS whatever that is.... haven't got to grips with it all yet. Anyways, I'm really happy with it having tried a Sony Ericsson T68i a while back and found it pants.

 

Tell us a bit more about what u want?

Camera?
Jave?
Size?
Style (clamshell, flip, standard)?

ive just bought a Samsung S300 which is great.

Not overly worried about camera phone - would prefer Java etc.

I'm after a small light phone that has things like calendars, to do lists etc, at least a couple of hundred number memory, would prefer to be colour and polyphonic.. As for style, not too worried.. was looking at Samsung clamshell, but looks like most have a pants standby/talktime rating compared to nokias.. always had nokia and not had a problem with them..

I think I've narrowed it down to either the Nokia 6100 or the Samsung S300 - I would love the clamshell design if it wasn't for the ariel sticking out - I think it may get broken or stick in somewhere painful when its in my jeans pocket.

Looks like I'm going to be changing contract in the next week or two.. probably to Orange your plan 200.. It seems there are better deals in the high street than on the net, or at least as good.

 

Sony Ericsson P800 - Plays mp3 & you can post a reply to Scoobynet from the train (etc, etc, etc...)

 

Shaggy - the battery life on the Samsungs is a lot better now. They all come with a slim and extended battery. The extended battery is not much bigger at all TBH and you dont even notice it. Standby times are around 4-5 days.

The standard aerial can be replaced with a stubby one which you can get off Ebay for £3.99 delivered (Buy It Now). See this Ebayer:
