Try the sony ericsson w800i.

It's the next one up from your phone, but probably the best on the market at the minute!

Agree with that, seriously considering changing my P910i for one in fact. The video on it is excellent!

Would be too big for what Tal's after though.

hear, hear!

According to Carphone Warehouse, as I've paid their insurance and had the phone for more than 3 months, I can change it anyway, no matter what the service provider says.

ScoobyTal - drop me a PM with what you're looking for mate, may be able to help (consumer/business comm's co.).

Past experience - you can't go wrong with the Nokia N70, especially with the Orange TV feature. If you're a music lover then the W800i would suit you

cheers, Jai

The Vodafone TV is the best of all the providers though and they've done a deal with Sky for channels inc Sky Sports etc. Looks great on a W900i!

I'd much rather have the wife's LG8130

These threads are generally a waste of time though as all you get is people saying how great their own particular phone is! Do a google search for mobile phone reviews and see what the so called experts are saying on those sites as well.

...true but unless you've lived with a phone for a reasonable length of time then you cant make a proper case for a particular phone.

The N70 is a nice phone but really slow!

My wife has 1 and on start up it takes ages to load onto normal menus and even when scrolling through, there's still quite a delay.
