New Mobile phone time...

have searched the old threads, and can't find anything more up to date than middle of last year (i'm sure there's more recent), so i shall ask my org dahlings what they have and what they recommend.

requirements are simples. i want to make calls, i want to send messages, and i'd like it to look good. innnernetz and email aren't important, but shant shy away...camera, again yes but hasnt got to be 10 million gigs or anything like that, i've got a camera thanks!

Well Mr D, if you just want a phone, then you cant go wrong with the new Nokia 6303. Its the update to the 6300 which is a great phone. It looks good, does what it says on the tin. If you wanted a slightly more featured version, then the 6700 is similar in looks, just with a few more goodies.

I myself am waiting for the Ericsson W995 to come on to o2(through o2). Its a very featured phone and looks good.

It all comes down to if you have an allegence to a certian brand, or style of phone, but the 6303 or 6700 will porbably fit the bill.

It all comes down to operating system/user interface then - most phones will do what you are asking for.

If you like Nokias, an N96 would seem to be good.

Vixis has a Samsung that does the job quite well.

Are you wanting to use a specific network? That has some bearing because some phones are exclusive to some networks, so may be an idea to go down to your local networks shop and see what you like the look of, if you dont care who the network provider is, Carphone Warehouse will have all the possible phones.

Go in, look at whats there, when they ask if they can help, just say no and that you are just looking, make notes on the ones you like the look of then come home and research each one on the net - I think Carphone Warehouse online allows you to compare features on different phones side by side.

Then once you have a shortlist, ask on here for comments from anyone who has owned phone X.

ah, yes. sorry guys, meant to say. have t-mobile contract thru work

That new Sony Ericcson cool. Y'hero would look stylish yet suave with that...

I can honestly say, after 5 months with mine, do not get a Blackberry, steer clear.

I can definitely Un-recommend the Samsung 3500 - very slow to do anything, clunky music player setup and it's a slippery little blighter too, I've dropped it a couple of times now, not enough to break it tho (unfortunately)

If you wanted flashyness I would say get whatever they are calling the HTC Hero (the latest Android/GoogleOS phone) but that doesn't match your requirements.

Go into a T-Mobile shop, pick them up, and get the one you like the colour of.

I'd just end up bringing you something over specc'd.

Good job you are not on 02 and making that request - I may have stitched you up with an iPhone
