Well I have the N73 and im due an upgrade. I dont want the phone to be a typical looking phone, like the n73. Touch screen would be nice. Maybe a flip one, but not really into those. slide might be nice..
I want it to be able to play good games aswell, so any ideas?

Was thinking about the n95 actually! Looks good!

I have £25 a month, 500 texts and 100 minutes I think. I want to reduce the price to £20. Would i be able to do this? Is it just the "yeh im moving to orange instead of o2" business and threaten to leave em or what?

And would I be able to get n95 on free up grade?

n95 probably, n95 8 gig probably not


if they dont offer you a good deal ask for the number for retentions and walk out....then ring retentions or customer service and say you want to cancel.......they'll set up camp in your ass crack to get you to stay.

loog at the g800 looks good. I dont need the 8gb n95 anyway, how much memory is a regular n95 and what other features does it lack compared to 8gb 1? And i chuckled at your last bit

W960i looks too normal for me.

Bottom line on the tariff is, call them and see what they can offer. If they really won't push any more, threaten to leave. If they still won't budge, get your PAC code then ring up again and say you'll stay, provided they give you a little bit more.

Depends who you talk to every time.

I know someone recently was given 125 mins and 100 texts on an 18-month contract for £6.25 a month, plus a free Moto PEBL U9.

well the n95 8 gig has a bigger screen, more ram, more memory(ever such a slight clue in the name) and something for better multi tasking, among more other small things

Neither, their both awful.

G600 is somewhat better than the G800 in my books, apart from the optical zoom and Xenon flash.

The menus on the G600 are similar to those on the new U900 and are very sleek and smooth, and the phones far far smaller. With the G800 or Viewty for that matter, size does not equal more functions. Especially when other phones that size chuck in GPS and WiFi too.

N82 or N95 8GB if you want all singing all dancing really.

Looks or features, you need to make a choice.

If your concered about looks, have you actually LOOKED at a real G800?

It's big, heavy, impractical, it's size vs features is a joke, and it's the same size as an N95 with hardly as many features.

Comes down to looks for me to be honest. Weight is not a big deal, and to be honest size is not a big deal for me at all, just appearance.



Looks nice to be to be honest. And yeah the n95 is good, but after having a N series phone (n73) an n95 is just an upgraded version of it. I want a new interface.
