I'm looking for a new phone for my wife and it needs to have a largish screen and it needs to handle bluetooth headsets perfectly, including voice dialling.

she currently has a Nokia 7390 which has voice dial with no learning required. While I can dial the right number 95% of the time, its less than 50% for her and she's getting really annoyed with it.

O2 have payg LG cookie and Viewty in stock for £107.65 so I'm considering one of those, or possibly the Shine at CPW for £39.95 with £10 air time

any thoughts or other options that fit this criteria of largish screen (non touch or touch ok if not using a styles), and good blueooth headset voice calling

lol, yeah I only tried it briefly, as you might remember, but wasn't impressed myself.

but at that price its worth some consideration if only to dismiss

...erm, I wouldn't touch a Cookie, either...I see far too many complaints about them to be comfortable recommending one!

IF it can handle your VD requirements, Viewty all the way(or add a bit of budget for a Secret)......

Shine isnt THAT bad. I have the CU720 Shine lying here somewhere and its actually a decent phone.
Didnt try voice dialing, but with my HBH-DS970 the music and call quality was top notch and the range was surprisingly good as well.
