Right I'm due an upgrade and normally i know exactly what phone i want but this year i have no idea.

So iv decided to post this topic and get some fresh ideas.

Some background info:

Im on o2, £35 per month. Iv been with them for now 3 or 4 years. Always pay the bills on time, as its DD.
The last 6 months my bills have been over £50 and of those 3 were over £100.
Oh and last year i got the 8800 for £9.99

So i think I'm in quite a good position to negotiate.

Recently iv been using the N80 and now the N73. I like the N73 but everyone seems to be getting one lol

Most interested in Sony Ericsson and Nokia but will also consider others, which is where you lot come in and post some ideas.

Thanks everyone

Well the N93i is out.... But as far as i am aware no networks have taken it up and i dont they will....

The N95 is out next month as far as i know, but how long it will take to be released by O2 themselves is a differant matter

See thats the problem, like when i waited for the N80, wow that was long lol. Plus i have a funny feeling the N95 will be unstable as it gets.

why do you say no network will take the N93i on?

I really do like it and i know it big but i dont really care. and im bored of slide phones. I havnt had a flip phone since........cant actually remeber.

What about any SE phones?

The SE K810i looks very nice, i didn't even know that was officially announced, i saw it in the rumor thread and that's what it was to me; a rumor.

I doubt that will be available till April/May.
actually how long after announcing the W880 was it available in store?

If you wait a little longer you could get the Blackberry 8300 Daytona, Wifi, Camera, and its a BB. Otherwise you have the 8800 Pearl if you dont need camera....

So i would thoroughly recommend them...as would quite a few here....
