Default Which mobile phone should I get?

Im totally out of touch with mobile phones, and am eligible for an upgrade with T mobile.....

Ive no real idea which are the phones to have, and even the seemingly good ones seem to get mixed reviews...

I have the following shortlist and am open to other suggestions:

Nokia n95 (black).....might be a bit too loaded for my simple self.,....

Samsung G600...I like samsungs,but this doesnt look nearly as advanced as the n95...

Nokia 6300....a bit of a budget phone, but seems to get good reviews..

I bascially need a good reliable, robust phone, that will not date too quickly, as I have had to wait 2 years for this free upgrade!!

Thank you

Ive got the 6300, nice, simple, robust- stainless steel case. I fitted mine with a 2Gb memory card.

Loved my 3210

Then got a contract N73 Piece of ****.

Buttons too small, making mistakes easy and frustrations much bigger.

Hate it but being in a contract, cant do much about it.

I have a Nokia N73, great phone albeit with slow U/I. Never had an issue with it, got 64 times more RAM than my first mainframe LOL, enough room to put almost all of my pictures from my last two holidays. I find it OK to use even with my big hands.

I would suggest anything Nokia, the 6500 Classic looks like a good handset, but not seen one too close up.

Ive got an n95 and very underwhelmed by it, should have stuck to a more basic phone, sure it can browse the web anywhere using 3g or wifi but do you really want to be typing in urls using its keypad??? Ive got a fring on it (msn/skype client) but again not much use. Im going to hold out now for a 3g iphone.

if you want reliable, then imo dont go for nokia or motorola

The Sony Ericsson range are good (and reliable in my experience), also the LG Viewty is quite a novel phone that is simple to use as a basic phone (but it can also be as complicated as you make it)

You can get themes for them now, and i have an iphone one that looks better than an iphone, and the ku990 has 3g and mms which the iphone doesnt!
