Looks like I am going for the Nokia 5800. I looked at how much business I would actually use it for and decided the Nokia would do enough and has unlimited music downloads, touchscreen, t'internet and Sky TV mobile (but how good that is I don't know).

Upgraded my ancient orange spve650 to the diamond 3 weeks ago, it lasted 4 days as it is utterly rubbish as a phone. I imagine in an office where it is sat in a cradle it is passable but on a site it is useless, when it rang you would take the wallet out your pocket, then take the phone out the wallet and then go to answer it using your fingers to unlock it, 9 times out of ten it rang off before you got to it !. Despite settings it had an annoying habit of the screen turning off when using it so if using answerphone you first had to tap the screen to turn the screen on and then tap again to bring up a keyboard so you could enter the numbers to access answerphone !

I think in designing it they forgot it was supposed to be a phone 1st and foremost, battery life also was less than a day if used a lot. I sold it on ebay for £200 last week and I am back on my 4 yr old phone which lasts all week on one charge and has a normal keyoard :)

HTC all the way!

I have been using the MDA phones from TMobile for the last 5 years, I couldnt use anything else now.

I've tried Nokia, BB and Sony.....I really am lost without my MDA, Compact, Touch, Touch Pro....they all do the same really.

My main functon is to sync with outlook, GPS mapping (CoPilot) ease of texting and also calls, as a bonus they are good at photos, music and MMS. Internet isnt great but it works fine enough for a google search and MSN chat. I use the odd xls and pdf file, my daughter plays the games on it too.

As an all in one package I can recommend them over BB and Nokia.

Just digging that old thread to let you know I finally settled for... an iPhone :lol:

Apple's latest anouncements finished to convince me :D

Like you were ever going to buy anything else!!??

Made for good entertainment though! :lol:

Have fun. Download Zenbound & Google Earth, both excellent time wasters. :)

Got my iPhone last weekend and it is excellent. I've had an iPod Nano for the last 4 years which really swayed me into the "brilliant user interface makes up for a lot of shortcomings in the hardware" bracket.

I'm really pleased with the iPhone, the 3G and Wifi capabilities make it an excellent all round device and I can even browse the TV listings and set my Sky+ box to record through it!

I joined the iphone bregade and bought an unlocked one from the UK as i dont like the service provider here in DK who has the iphone contract, so i am well pleased with mine dropped my sim in from my provider and i was up and running :)
