Default had a fall out with orange looking for a phone

Hmm had a bit of a fallout with a guy from orange mobile, which is a shame. However i'm now looking for a new phone to replace my, FRANKLY BRILLIANT, n85. im thinking about an android phone as everyone i see (bar paul) with an iphone is a tawt. Im thinking of this desire thingy or one of these galaxy s's ? any tips advice etc? its going to cost me so at the mo the galaxy s is 50 quid more than the desire. Surely a phone cant be that good? can it?

The samsung Wave is pretty good as well. Its really a smaller Galaxy S. Only plyed with it so dont know long term but one of the geekettes has one and rates it over her old Nokia.

Orange and T-mobile are/have merged and are going to start allowing customers to roam between networks for no charge, same call costs etc making a massive network.

On the phone front. HTC Touch is supposed to be a great phone...

You say you've fallen out with them... is it just like a bit of a tiff or have you actually split up?


(seriously consider the iPhone mate, asside from all the apple bashing and people banging on about the antenna issue ((I've had 3g signal in areas where I never even had edge with my old iPhone!)) they're cracking phones and sport the biggest choice of applications you could want from keeping fit to MCN data logger to track your speeds/acceleration/deceleration, loads of stuff... go play with one in o2 at white rose, they'll happily talk you through all the features)

to be honest i would like an i phone but its going to cost me 250 quid really. and thats about 300 quid than i currently have.

so i can stretch to an android one, just!

only problem i have is the current phone has a fault where if your calling it from a landline the speaker booms (like too much gain on the line) everything else is fine. I called to get a replacement and they said because its intermittent its not classed as a fault! A bit peved i said i would like to claim off my insurance because it was broken and they said well atually you cant! So i said well its broken just how broken does it need to be? do i have to take a hammer to it? The guy said well ive recoreded that on your account so you cant claim for any damage to your phone now! Great!! The last thing is orange is the only company i can get a signal with in reeth where i go a lot! so i cant decide what to do.

have you thought about a crackberry? i know people moan about them, but they're on pretty affordable plans now which great extras, and they do everything it ever claimed to to. its no iphone but i really like mine. I got mine on a 2 year contract and i'm 18months into that now and ive not really had a problem. i (touch wood) see no reason why it wont last for at least another 6 months until i decide to upgrade or not.

lots of people claim they've had problems with bbs, or iphones or HTC phones and to be honest, i tihnk a lot of it comes down to the actual individual handset as i also know a lot of people who have never really had a problem with their bbs/iphone/HTC

HOpe this makes sense as i;ve had a little bit too much! lol

My iphone was free. All I pay is the fee for the monthly contract.

Its not an Iphone 4, or a 3GS, its just a plain basic 3G, if you dont want the latest all singing all dancing phone, there are bargins to be had.
