Cool

I quite like the ericcson T-68 with a colour display. Anybody got one?

I currently have a motorola v3690 and I cannot slag it off enough. Total bobbins. I will never buy another motorola product as long as I have a hole in my @rse! My contract is up on it at the end of the month so I am shopping around.

Advice please!

I got a T68 last year. Great gizmo value, but also a very functional phone. Not quite as user friendly as a nokia, but not far off, and once you are used to it, it has more pluses than minus's!

The missus (and Chris L) has got the Samsung A300 - nice, classy phone but isn't tri-band (dual). Good, functional phone all the same. I've got a Nokia 8850 which is good but I wouldn't recommend it myself, the buttons are too small - especially when playing games

Trying to get work to upgrade me to the same as John's, the Ericcson T39M Tri-Band ... we'll see . Sony Z7's are pretty cool ....

Ericsson - no longer making new phones AIUI.

We've just bought a Samsung A300 for my fairer half. It's the pup's parts.

I've also got a T39, and agree it's the dogs nuts. I've heard the battery life on the T68 is supposed to be a bit pants.

Nokia have a 6250, supposed to be pretty cool too.

Dont call me surely.

I dont have that enabled but i do have the High Speed Data enabled for if i need my laptop for the net quickly.

The charging structure for the Allways On Net is diferent, you get charged per Mb downloaded, not by the time you are connected. All rather complicated but if you do surf on the mobile a lot then it will save a LOT of money. (its 43K too)

The phone also has the bluetooth, wireless handsfree stuff so you can use a radio linked headset rather than trip up over all the wires of a normal jobbie. Stops your head working like a microwave too.

Erickson are still making phones, mines very new indeed.
