Default Upgrading phone... 6280... or not??

Shall I upgrade to the Nokia 6280 or is there anything else worth waiting a while for?

Or maybe anything else that's already out that's better!?

Cheers

The Nokia 6280 ROCKS!!!

The slide is cool, the screen is awesome, same features as the 6230, 2mg camera, forward facing camera for video calls.

Love it, wicked phone

Exact model i have.....



I've never really strayed from Nokia in the past few years, best phone i've had by far

The white and orange W800i was best phone I ever had.

So easy to use. The Black W810i has a few more buttons and its making it very confusing for me. Think its because I am sooo used to old one.

Its a sexy looking thing though.

N91 is set to rock the mobile phone market. 4GB memory and proper mp3 playing functions (like it has a normal headphone socket so you dont just have to use nokia ear peices).

Dunno when its out though.

I've been thinking about the 6280 too.

Got the Samsung P300 and its crap, have had the D600 and its crap, just finished a year with the 3230 and its never really been too much of a disapointment. Now moving onto the 3250 (next one up from the 3230) and it looks a bit weird but should do its job properly

I went for the W810i in the end. I looked at reviews and people that have tried the 6280 have preffered the w810i. Also the N91 just isnt gonna be out for months yet!

Ive had nokias for years and never imagined owning another make phone. But I really like the w810i! I have a PDA for stuff like sat nav etc so ive been able to take advantage of getting a smaller phone that also doubles up as a very good mp3 player (but its not perfect!)

And I found a way to transfer the phonebook from Nokia to Sony Ericsson (and I dont mean by transfering to Sim card and losing all the extra numbers / data. )
