Right its that time of year again where you get a brand spanking phone. What phone would people suggest i get? I have owned

P910i
K600
S700i

Over the past few months so none of these suggested please (even though i dont believe you can buy S700i brand new any more.)

I am looking at the W800i but was wondering whether anyone can suggest a different phone or maybe even a wild card from a different manufacturer?

Cheers

@lilpee - If you still have your P910i . . . H m m m, try selling it then go for the P990i mate. The Nokia N90 is nice too ! Good Luck ! [addsig]

If you're already looking at a W800i then they're a great little phone. I can barely be seperated from mine.

When does the P990 get released because i have seen a few pictures of it etc and actually quite like the look of it and i did love my P910 (even though i havent got that any more)

I am in the same boat as you.

The P990 is not expected till around spring time so what I am doing is upgrading to the P910i, putting a new black case on my S700i and flogging them both. I should get a few hundred for them both

The 2 mp cam and the screen on the P990 can replace the S700 and I am looking forward to the smart functions that it possesses.

Can't wait......

EDIT: Just seen a Voda branded S700i on eBay for £130

get the W800i mate, its a great phone, and hurry up, many expect the phone to be sold out!
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA

yesterday the W800i got ordered and will be with me tomorrow morning before 10 which i think is quite good.

The only thing i would have to point out which i need some advice on is that i read some where that the W800i has a different charging plug to all other SE is this correct and does this mean it isnt going to fit my car kit?

Thanks in advance James

@lilpee69er

The W800 ues the new Fastport connector so it is incompatible with chargers and accessories designed to fit the previous generation of SE handets. Any accessories you have for your existing handsets won't fit the W800 (or K750). I'm not sure if any sort of adapter to use older accessories with the newer handsets exists yet.
