ive got the n91 its quite large and heavy but that doesnt bother me reallyprob wont use most of the featues on it as theres that many! the mp3 player is good and easy to put music on, can use windows media player aswell as nokia suite. come with a usb cabe.the only downside is the buttons are a little fiddly for texting. i'd still recomend it though

The New Sony W950i looks rather nice - currently top of my upgrade list. the 850 doesnt look too bad either.

I'd say the Sony W810 is hard to better

wez, does the 810 have a joystick or direction pad?

From the pics it looks as though it has both

My K700i had the joystick and I put up with it for about a week before ebaying it!

i have the sony 810 too... it's not a joystick.. just a button.
I can't fault the phone yet... only had it a month or so.

I also have the V3i Razr... out of the 2.. i'd prefer the 810.. although i can't really fault the razr

Cheers

I have one on order from T mobile but when I checked the pics closely I panicked cos I had flashbacks of my K700i joystick nightmares!

I have a 2 month old Nokia 6280 on 3 that I love to bits but the battery life (or lack of it) is doing my head in.... Mind you, I'm probably considered a "heavy" user so no wonder the battery is always needing charged.

I find the 810 excellent to use... my kids have had ones with the joysticks and I never liked them.
love the fact it has a 512M memory stick in too.. you could even do away with your mp3 player ( if u have one!) it takes a great picture too... not had chance to use the camcorder bit yet myself.
Games aren't really the best.. think mine only had 2 on it... have downloaded a couple onto it myself.

I think you'l find the 810 a totally new experience!
let us know what you think

I'm a bit out of date with phones - what's considered the best flip phone on the market? I've got a V3, but contract runs out next month

Yeah i think it does everything really well. I have a D750 at the mo which is basically the older version, house mate has just got the 810 and he couldnt be happier.

I have a 2GB card in mine and have about 400 songs on it. Very handy.

Camera is very good too.great for stills, video is ok, but very good when you consider it's a phone!
