Default What NOKIA phone is worth having??

i guess from a few post that the N series is to be avoided.

i dont really care to much for "geeky features", ironic i know, as i work in I.T.

just needs bluetooth really and maybe a camera

i currently got a 6230, and was thinking 6230I,

but just wondered what other "easy" phones are out there????

cheers

Ive got an 8800 basically the same features as the 6320i without a memory card slot and looks a bit better.

I cant be arsed with the geeky features either still has bluetooth, camera etc etc.

you ever had any probs with them...eg battery life?

imo all nokia's are easy to use once u have a play about, they are all very similar format and user friendly

Batterys arent AS good as other phones, they needed to minimise battery weight with the phone being made of titanium, but its ok, especially when u see the 8800

Keep away from the 3230 its the worst phone Nokia have ever made, hard on battery, keeps rebooting, menu hard to navigate, too slow when selecting on menu, plus more..

My bro's fiancee has the 6280, and I am seriously considering changing my N70 for it, as it seems to do most of the same stuff, but is a fair bit faster with apps and menu's;



The 6060 also looks quite nice, but I'm not too sure as it is a flip phone, which I am not a huge fan of...

Just been on the phone to Orange regarding an upgrade about an hour ago,i was wanting one of the new N series and was told the N70 was out just now but not to go near it!The N80,N90 and N91 are out ant the end of April seemingly and the boy i was talking to said the N90 was the one to wait for.

Most memory ever in a handset,serious features etc etc fucking awesome!
Fuck it only a month to wait!

the N90 does look a bit daddy, but it's the same Symbian 6 O/S that my N70 is on, so I would be worried it will be as slow to open menu's and app's as my N70 is..... When I change phones again, I think I'll stick to the Nokia Series 40 O/S's that I used to have on the 6230.....

ive recently changed from nokia's due to all the ones ive had break/pack up within the year. i dont see them as robust as some others! mind u no phone is perfect!

ive now got a sony ericsson W800i and so far has given me no problems whatsoever, very easy to use phone with superb battery life and none of the techno techno all singing 'when am i gonna need that!' features

but hey... just my opinions as everyone is different

I've got a 7110..... an old one ,I know,but it's been a good 'un. Only had to have it repaired once in about 4 years.....it needed a new slide.

Just seen a Nokia ad,on the telly..... for a 6111 and a 8280 (I think).

By the way..... can you get one of the new bluetooth type phones,without having to change contracts ?? Anyone ??

I've got the 6230i.. come down a lot in price now
I managed to get mine on o2 for Ł119 by going into the link and sayin i had seen it cheaper on dial a phone or something. Apparently they dont even compare with them, but he gave it me anyway as long as i agreeed to paying Ł3.90 a month insurance, which i would of got anyway
All in all good phone, and easy to use for dumb fcuks like me!

I just got an N70. Does anyone else press more than one button at a time cause of the ridiculously small buttons?
