Im due an upgrade as of yesterday ive been in touch with t mobile who say im entitled to any phone free of charge

Now what i want to know is which phone to get? There seems to be quite alot of decent phones to choose from for once.

Nokia N96
Nokia 5800
samsung pixon
sony c905

to name a few

 

I had an interesting chat when my contract ended with Voda, i made a few noises that i might jump ship and the guy let slip that they like all the other companys "offer" a loyalty bonus to stay.
I got Ł90 and got to pick form the latest phones
Obviously there is a limit and if you go for a really posh phone then the bonus goes towards to cost of it
Me being a tight wad took the Samsung soul and the dosh

 

I wouldnt even know where to start when choosing a new phone cause there is that many good phones out there with loads of toys on them.Ive been with T mobile for the past 3 years cause they have been spot on and canny cheap.

 

As your on T-Mobile then why not the new G1 Google phone

 

ill add - i dont use the internet whilst driving my van at work, so having a fancy phone thats for internet use is not something i need, i want a decent camera more than anything else. Looked at that G1 but dont like the keyboard, would be a pain in the arse to send a text

 

Ok.. Maybe the Sony Ericsson C905 or maybe the Nokia N96 then....

 

samsung Pixon? got the best camera so far on a mobile! or the C905 as thats good aswell with a PROPER flash. think the pixon is just an LED one...

 

Nokia N96

 

so its narrowed down to the n96, c905 and the samsung pixon

anyone tell me the bad bits of any of the above?

 

n96 - just make sure its got latest firmware, if not its easily done yourself.
also comes with wifi so can connect it to your home router if only for the cool web radio and bbc iplayer is handy when on the bog lol. also comes with gps as standard. the camera is brilliant and very very good quality, i had mine for 6 months but just sold it due to upcoming nokia n97 in july, another handset i recommend is blackberry bold. depends on your needs, i used the smartphones quite heavily as my work requires this

hope this helps

 

N96 id say aswell, they have a superb camera, same as the N95 8gb which ive got and it takes just as good pictures as my Sony cybershot digital camera

As said above, get the lastest firmware and you'll be set

 

thanks very much for the advice, will check all 3 full reviews out later
