And as seeing as we have some people quite into them I thought I'd ask here.

Ok list of wants is quite large

Decent web browser
Wifi
Bluetooth
Email (would be nice)
large screen
atleast tri band
Preferbly not windows based.
Not a slide so N95 is out.


I've been looking at the new LG (no wifi) and it does look quite nice, iPhone is out as I'm not paying for it.

Doh I would have said the N95 really fits the bill too. The slide on it is far less irrirating than you would think.
Have you considered an HTC phone? Called different names on different networks, but good phones.

GSMArena.com - GSM reviews, opinions, votes, manuals, ringtones and more... as ever is the place to compare and find the right phone for you.

I might be getting a Viewty to try out this week, just to see what all the hype is about. They are selling for £300 on Ebay so cant be that bad lol.
Not sure I will keep it though.

Snazy, I've played with a HTC touch and its slow, my plam is quicker. I also have a 6280 now and I hate teh slide and its been repaired twice.

Snazy

Simon, just as a heads up, the slide on the 6280 and N95 are nothing alike. The missus has had her 6280 replaced and the slide is knackering out again, as has a mate. But the N95, I abuse the hell out of mine and its still working fine I think the mechanism is slightly better as its a dual direction slide.

On a different approach to HTC, I am considering this HTC S710 - Full phone specifications

Operates as a normal phone, works very well by all accounts, and works landscape and has a full qwerty for longer emails.

Looks like a rehash of the XDA orbit. Would be ok, except it uses windows mobile, and I have to admit I am not a great fan.

Snazy

have a look on the review section of that link, tells you more about the phone.
I am torn between win mobiles for sync'ing with the PC and outlook, and the Nokia's with symbian which is great for keeping back ups of the phone etc.

Cant see me keeping the Viewty even if I try it out, so might just get the HTC and be done with it. Got an N95 and a 6300 at the mo, so not having grief with anything at the mo, just fancy a change lol

Simon C

I don't use a windows platform, I use Mac's. They have a nice little app built into them, which with the help of Markus on here I have got working on an auto routine (backs up contacts and calender.). Works with my current Nokia a treat.

I know I can get windows based mobiles to do the same thing, but I don't like windows, and that HTC uses win mob 6.

Snazy

Aaaah fair play mate
