Another year is over so its time to upgrade. Currently have a Nokia 6230i which was ok apart from slow GUI/menu system and poor build quality (dust gets behind the screen and looks awful).

Looking for something similar - dont want a brick of a phone no matter how good the specs. Prefer to stick with nokia or samsung.

Any recommendations as havent kept up to date on the latest offerings.

Cheers,
Simon.

samsung d600, I had a 6230i previously. Very pleased with samsung so far

I agree with Burt

Switched yesterday from a Nokia 6230 to a Samsung D600E and apart from initial texting confusion ... who moved the space bar ? It's quality is apparent. Not 100% convinced about the call clarity yet and signal may be slightly down from the 6230 but it's much cooler and better made

Cheers

PS Camera and video features plus link to TV cables supplied (and USB cable) all superb

sony ericsson K750i or W800i would be my two sugestions, brilliant phones, easy to use an good gadgets!

You can find some very honest customer reviews on 02.co.uk - put me off a number of high profile phones.

I went for the SonyEricsson K750i - which is simply awesome. I know it's not your preferred brand but I would at least take a look.

I'm used to the Nokia way of doing things, and there menu system is pretty good - however, the Sony is way better, a really well thought out OS and a brilliant all-round package. Although I don't use the camera that often the quality from the 2mp is great, and the video is good as well.

To top it all off I've used my PSP 1gb card in it, which transforms it into a 1gb mp3 player as well - top stuff

Just can't fault this unit really it even comes with the full hand free kit and USB connections

But deffo take a look at the reviews of 02

can the K7501 take video footage as well as view it? I was also looking at the Motorola V3i...anyone any thoughts or experiences with these?

samsung have the d800 now - a 'superslim' phone. I think Phones4U have them to buy from this month...

Looks nice but it is only a 1.3 megapixel camera - same as my d500 and that's a bit shoddy after a while...

How long is the string?

As long as you like, but the curvature of the Earth will come into play at some point.

Yes it can, and pretty well too! (you get a 64mb card (as well as internal mem) with the pack)

Try and steer clear of the V3 series, I've heard nothing but bad reports. Apparently the OS is pants, using it is a nightmare, and it's prone to freezing/locking. Plus many people say the battery life is a real problem. On the plus side they look good.

(I looked at one briefly until I read some honest user reviews )
