Wifes got the Sammy Soul . . .

Looks really good, great size and has a nice feel to it . . .

. . . but its a pile of cr@p!

It truly is an awful phone. She cannot use it without getting frustrated with it! I've tried and gave up on it too. I'd rather hammer nails through my todger than have to own and use a Sammy Soul.

I'm using an Nokia N82 and love everything about it!!!

Ive just up-graded from a Nokia N95 8GIG Black, to a Nokia N96 both phones are excellent.

The N95 8GIG is for sale going on E-bay Friday.

It was a replacement for a lost phone 6 months or so back, and now Vodafone has upgraded me again which was nice.

Anyone wants it PM me for more details.

Price = going rate minus £50 for scoobyrates...

I'd look at an Omnia, N96, or 3G iPhone.

I weighed up all the pros and cons and went for the N96 in the end..... no regrets so far.....

Sony Ericsson C905 is out soon. People have given it rave reviews so far but some maybe relying on marketing income from Sony.
Should be out late Oct and has a 8.1mb camera for those into this kind of thing.
I'm getting one to replace either my Samsung Soul or c902.

cheers for responses so far, I am on the network three so not much handset choice, they have only just got the n96 in (surprised they have it this quick) Want a change from the LG Viewty i currently have and although I like the Sony Ericsson W series I fancy a change, the mrs has the n95 and I think that is brilliant so im thinking n96 to get one over her (even though the phone she uses is my second contract phone !)

I have a N95 and due for an upgrade next month, not meaning to hijack the thread but has anyone got/looked at both the N96 and 3G iphone??

I fancy a change from the N95 and from what i can see there isn't much difference between the N95 & N96 so was thinking about the 3G iphone, but not sure how they compare/if the iphone is tatt or not??

If you have a chance of getting an iPhone take it, it's groundbreaking in both design and function.

Im waiting for the new G1 phone from Google to be released and see what software becomes available later in the year. It should be a real contender to the 3g Iphone, especially as its using an open software platform.

As long as you don't mind losing MMS capability, and can live with an inferior camera....

N85 seems to be the Nokia phone of choice - better battery, integrated FM transmitter (to play tunes on your stereo), better screen. Its coming out at the end of the month by all accounts.

N96 is the flagship Nokia but to be honest I was underwhelmed when I had a play with one....I'm going to take a look at the N85 or the C905.
