Default Orange Mobile upgrade

Just due to renew contract - started offering good deals, lots of free mins and texts, free magic number, free evening and w/e calls and free phone - but question is, which one to go for?
Got ericsson k800i now, wondering k810i, nokia n73 or 95 but seems software bit dodgy on nokias?
Anyone any experience with thses?
thanks

I heard it is best for spec etc but bit slow to start up and can crash alot - but sounds like not the case?

I have a sim free N95, works really well and with the latest firmware doesnt crash. Be warned that Orange and Vodafone have disabled some of the phones features relating to VOIP, the only way to get this back is to re-flash with generic firmware.

thanks for replies. Just as I thought difficult decision but even though n95 has features+++ I couldn't cope with that battery life as need phone all time, also sat nav bit pointless as have tom tom anyway.

Correct
Or doesnt exit applications and therefore has camera, phone book, text messaging all running in the background at once. Eats it like you wouldnt believe.
Exit everything when you finish, and it is great.
Mines been 3 days now without charge and still fine.

Dont believe the hype- the battery is fine with a little common sense.
