Hi all
ok the time has come tonight to say goodbye to my k850. as you might see on my other threads it has came to an end in how much i could put up with the k850.
I am looking for a Candybar Nokia phone. Camera spec has to be atleast 5MP camera. I don't want a nokia that is slow either i want something that is easy to use, good to text with and good when it comes to the internet surfing etc. So someone please recommend me a Nokia phone and give me the reasons why? In the mean time I am going to look at phones myself and will come up with some that i see myself and i want your opinions. also it has to have a good battery life too. thank you
well update is that I got myself the N97 waiting for it to arrive and can't wait. Anyone know any good freeware sites for the s60 platform?

Are you looking at any smartphones or dumb phones? Otherwise i would say a Nokia 6700. has a 5 mega pixel camera with HSDPA solid build and is great classic phone for texting. Get it in black though as silver shows up finger prints alot. Camera is good. I am not sure what any others are like. Battery life is also great.

Not heard about that no and i have not had that phone. I did have the model below it the 6303 and i had not one single problem with it plus it had a fantastic battery performance. As regards to screen cracking i think some people are just careless the phone has solid build quality. But the model below it was so reliable.
Yes you can turn 3G off

Strange cos s40 is normally fast its been out for a bit now so latest firmware might be faster. I never found the 6303 had no such problems but see if a shop will let you test one out for yourself see if you think its comfortable. What else you looked at?

Actually they should just say to them you are going to spend silly amounts on cash on a new phone. Also i noticed blot of Nokia phone boxes don't have seals on them so they should be able to show you. If i am honest i want that phone too looks nice.
Also when you read customer reviews of phones i never go by what they say. Some people said the Nokia 6500c had cracked screen problems but when i had that model for a few months i never had that problem. Some people say they get signal problems its probably they got poor 3g coverage simple things like that. Try yourself first

N82 is still worth looking at and when compared to the 6700 you get wifi, s60 rather than series 40, larger screen (although the unit is slight larger too), xenon rather than led, video calling camera etc etc

Good option. Do CPWH still sell that model? Though guess you can get it cheaper online.

Thanks for replies all. Bonovox I have decided it's the 6700 for me I will ask them to let me test it first tho. I will be getting it from the o2 store. They are doing it for about £179 plus I will then send my k850 to s.e and get them
to fix it and then sell that. Fonebank are saying they can give me £36 for the k850 so atleast I can get some money for it. Masseur I did try the n82 before but I never could get on with the buttons on that phone. Thanks tho. |

I have actually ended up ordering a new nokia n97 from Nokia directly  plus I got a good deal. The handset is £449 sim free. However when i spoke to the Nokia sales guy over the phone. I asked if he could discount the price, he said he could possibly do that if I buy an accessory. So I bought a £9.99 case with the handset and he managed to bring the total price down to £350
So I am really happy with that, plus my mate has a N97 and had to come into work today on my day off just to have a play around with his handset again before making a final choice. I know its a lot of money but its going to be worth it I believe. I am happy though, just hope the handset comes 2moro now |

hehe bonovox i know i am v lucky. my mate advised me to go on ebay and get it from a seller called ecell or something like that. he was doing it for £350 the handset but not sure about ebay plus it only said 1 year warranty. where when i spoke to nokia direct they said its 2 years with them so over all i am happy. i will try and write a mini review when i get the handset though |
