Default What's a good mobile?

Had my N95 which I was pretty happy with and replaced it a couple of weeks ago with a Sony Erricson C905 8Gb. It's a shocking piece of hatefull crap. Had a blazing row with T-Mobile as they told me they will only offer a replacement like for like. By their own admission they are having some issues with the Sony Erricsons not operating very well between GSm and 3G. As far as I'm concerned I'm paying for something and not getting it so have told them I want a new handset or i shall cancel the contract as they have failed to provide me with an item a) as described and b? is not fit for purpose.

Anybody suggest anything?

It never has signal, when it does have signal it will drop out and vanish. When surfing th enet viewing say E-Bay you load an item up and try to view the image and all is fine. The next item you try and view the image for it uploads the first image you looked at. When paired to my Parrot CK3100 handsfree car kit it won't play the speakers are muted and I can't hear a poxy thing!

No but O2 isn't very good where I am. T-Mobile or Orange are my 2 options. Wouldn't go with Vodafone ever again after the hassle with them. Took a solicitors letter before they finally terminated our contract with them.

Slow ?.. mines never been slow. No need for extra memory when you got 16GB built in and can stream video and music from your pc over wifi or 3G from anywhere. contact thing is a pain but once youve done it, its done. Camera is good in natural light, but still poor against other camera phones on the market i'll give you that one.

Hi mate,

I would seriously get it cancelled and wait as there is a lot of new kit due out come the end of june / start july.

At the very least i would get it swapped for the new w995, its the last every handset to use walkman or cybershot branding and if fully packed with, 8mp camera, wi-fi, gps, fully walkman functions, and loads more.

12MP camera phones are just around the corner, and the n97 will be released on 26th june also shortly followed by n86 nokias first 8mp camera.
