I have a Nokia N95, excellent phone with loads of toys including radio and 5MP camera and large screen.

The sony ericsson W850i.. its a beast!! i love mine to bits!!

only problem.. you have to plug earphones in to listen to the radio.. but you can listen to your mp3s through the loudspeaker..

I have a W850i, lovey little phone.

I have a Nokia 6210.

It is perfect for my requirements;

Plus points;
It rings, I can make/answer phone-calls, it fits a full hands-free kit in the 110
It doesn't take pictures, tell me the time in Hong-Kong, bake chocolate cake (or whatever all the modern phones do now?)
I don't have to have one of those giant hearing aids clamped around my ear

Minus Points;
It's not compatible with SWMBOs car-kit (she has a Nokia 3100)

Another vote for the N73 here. Great phone, solid connections to the masts, good battery life (for a 3g phone), great camera/video, bucketloads of apps, including Tomtom, viewranger (uses OS maps), etc.

DONT HAVE A NOKIA N95, EVERYONE TOLD ME DONT GET ONE!, I IGNORED THEM ALL, BIGGEST MISTAKE I HAVE MADE YET!
ON THE 4TH ONE NOW, TOTAL CRAP PHONES, LOTS OF WHISTLES AND BELLS, BUT FOREVER BREAKING DOWN.

I've got one that makes phone calls and apparently it has this 'text' facility on it. Not a clue what that means though.
Apparently I'm going shopping for a Betamax 'Video Cassette Recorder'!
Wonders will never cease! :shock:

It's funny you should say that...

What are these CD things that everone raves about, what's wrong with good old 12" vinyl??

apparently vinyl is on the way back in! So there is hope for my collection yet! I could make a fortune!

I'd just lke one that works. I've had the MD Vario for a year now and I have had to resort to plan B again when I go to collect SWMBO from work, when I get there I throw the 'phone at the window, that and the sound of a V8 alerts her to my presence.

Yep, me too, and I have a car kit fitted, just like yours.

The phone is more than five years old and it has never given me any problems, bounces well if/when I drop it and the battery still gives me days and days on standby.

I have thought about changing it, but I really can't think why I should.......... All these new fangled phone things which make the toast but need replacing every six months

I don't care about taking photos on my phone, after all I don't make calls on my camera.

i got a sony ericsson k800i on recommendations of quite a few friends...am pleased with it so far.
lots of good features and it seems fairly strong - although the first thing i did was buy a decent case for it...

The battery is going a bit on mine, it's a pity that the Lithium in my previous 3310 doesn't fit as that was very long-lived

Exactly!!

If I want to take pictures I use a camera

N95 - never had any issues with it. But then .... we do kinda work in the industry

pilgrim · « **Reply #20 on:** July 17, 2007, 13:29:37 »

n95 with viewranger software for os map gps.

no problems with mine since i updated the firmware on it. battery life is a bit rubbish but can be spared by turning off most applications until you actually need them.

Dont get a Samsung U600

Camera is pants (even though its 3.2mp), touch sensitive buttons are a real pain when trying to navigate menus.
