Why? The K800i was ok but I just got bored of it after 3 Months lol
the Nokia N95 was perfect till I discovered something/someone had clipped it and when it gets a knock like that your phones never the same.

I paid £330 BIN for this phone and one tiny little nick to it will probaly de-value it which im not very happy at infact im quite angry that ive never been able to use this propaly as it's locked to T-Mobile when the seller told me she would have it unlocked

Anyways im decided on selling this N95 and going back to Samsung for a while, when the N95 reduces further I may buy another but in the meantime I must invest and sort out a home of my own and getting on that track of things which means alot of sacrifices along that way

Samsung phones are great had alot of fun in the past with my D600 so going back to them will be quite some fun atleast I can re-open my Samsung Photo thread again lmao..

I have chosen either a D900i or a U600 as my next step anyone care to suggest which ones fireaway..

Ps, My T-Mobile N95 can be found in the For Sale section of the forum

Wouldn't you get a better price for your N95, when you get it unlocked, before selling it ?

Afaik this is easy in the UK, you buy a prepay simcard, register the phone with it and the network will sell you the unlock-code for a reasonable amount.

This is different in the Netherlands, when the phone is under 3 months old, T-Mobile will charge 120 euros (approximately 80 gbp), later it'll cost less and when the phone is more than one year old, they give the code for free.

Anyway, good luck with the sale .

I have a well treated Black N80, it is a year old though but looks fine...

I do think you are making a mistake with a D900 though. It's a great phone, but doesn't really do much.
I love the WiFi on my N80. The browser really rocks too.

If I did get a dumbphone again I'd advise going SE. I'd give anything for my old S700i back again, as it was much nicer to use than the N80 in many ways.

Sorry, not selling the N80! I am getting a P1i or an N95 on O2 as they mess with it less and they are the only ones I get a signal on round here...

D900/i have a different camera module to U600/700.....better, apparently!

Unless you need ultra thin, D series take better pics!

@miss uk

I really can't see how you can be angry with anyone but yourself for the mark on the phone as it is your fault. If the phone came locked but was sold as unlocked why didn't just return it and get your money back? You have paid top money for a locked device and could of bought one here considerably cheaper from a trusted trader. I also offered to assist you in getting it unlocked as i am a T-Mobile customer i really would consider just getting it unlocked and putting it in a nice case so the mark won't show otherwise it looks like you are going to lose quite a bit of money on your locked and no longer mint phone, but good luck with what ever you decide.

If you are wanting to return to Samsung, the D900 is a nice phone, I've got one I'm playing with at the moment, and it is a nice slim phone.

Camera isn't as good as the K800i but is still very good - it's supposely 'autofocus' but mine doesn't seem to autofocus, or Samsung's autofocus isn't very good! Nice feel to the phone and very compact, in fact it'll probably be coming on holiday with me next week!

Its hardley my fault when it was safely put down somewhere safe,
my mate had his mates round here friday night and he said he was asking about the phone cos the box is visible, he may of sneaked a look when he went out the room or sumat and dropped it when he thought he was coming back...

either that or the cat has been knocking it,
but the was always in it's protective case..

I used the phone Wednesday night it was perfect,
checked it Sunday and was horified, ok this little tiny mark is bearley visible im moaning about nothing really but I just don't want marks on myphones.

I haven't been able to get a D900i today as it was soldout at my local 01 shop, but im heading down to another in the morning,

I'll therefore take pics of this mark on the N95 with it,
D900i has Infrared right?

Btw after looking at purchasing the N95 it's a top phone but I clearley need the money due to circumstances!

afaik the only difference is the radio and the phone's finish, they are otherwise the same pretty much!

I'm getting another D900 in shortly I'm replacing the LCD on if you're interested in buying it!

Edit: Alex - does the autofocus actually work on your mate's D900 - as it doesn't seem to make a jot of difference in mine - even after replacing the camera module with another one!

Alex U600 is only available on Contract so I was told in the 02 shop,
there really isn't much difference in that except with the camera being 3.2MP and Case sensitive keypad, ive noticed CPW stock those for £199 but tbh I really don't see how it should cost that much it's not even got 3G you can get all that on a K800i for £80 less,...

D900i is a fab price £139.99 it's a bit of a update on the D600,
can't wait to bag this phone and be back using these

btw Sammy, think i'll snap this up as it's a great price if it goes wrong then it's easily fixed with the 12month warranty

CPW told me there having the D900i instock aswell in the next few days when I told the guy 02 was selling it at this price his face was like.. well didn't say alot basically told me to buy it from them

I guess there gonnabe selling it for abit by the sounds of it

theres a menu int he camera setings for it, but all he does is click capture button and it focuses(not very well) and then captures

@miss uk, i agree with your points, i think my k800i is much better, especially as you can get it cheaper. I guess go for the d900 then although with the proper autofocus, U600's camera(cant believe iam saying this) is actually in competition with the k800's
