My mobile phone contract is up in about 6 weeks time, i've had a Samsung X830 for about the last 18 months, i've got on really well with it but the camera has never been fantastic due to it being such a small phone

I'm with Orange at the moment and got a deal with Carphone Warehouse where every 6 months they refund 50% of the bill, so for 500mins & 500 txts a month the line rental has cost me £17.50 (obviously I get slaughtered as per usual if I go over my allocated limits)

I'd like to stay with Orange, so can anyone recommend a good upgrade on Orange with a decent amount of minutes and texts?

Also, i've been drawn to the iPhone lately, what's the price on these and who/what are they available on?

Thanks

 

N95 8gb.... :dd:

 

sony ericcson w880i in mocha brown is what you want
the nokias are size of an housebrick

 

dont get the 8gb N95 get the normal one

 

it depends, what you want to use the phone for?

if you want a computer with a cammera and it does everything you could possibly want then N95, but there is no nokia car kit and they are quite big.

for me I use a phone for txting and taking to people and I like to use the nokia charging car kit so I am a 6310i

I baught 2 when nokia said they were going to stop making them.

no other phone is small enough and will click in and charge in the nokia car kit.

I just don't understand people who will buy a phone with more functions than the new rampent rabbit, but never use them.

 

Yeah Jase has just picked up an N95, he reckons it just cuts out when the battery dies rather than warning you first? What other gb versions are there Alex?

I've just read Micheal's iPhone thread and don't fancy having to piss around unlocking things and downloading stuff, I usually fuck that part up if it doesn't involve spanners or a big hammer! Is this the case with iPhone's?

 

why?

surely thats like saying get an rs turbo and not a cossie?

 

If you are going as big as the N95, then the HTC TytnII totally kickes it's arse - touch screen, full sliding qwerty, built in gps that you can use tomom, copilot, mio or any other pda software. Battery last ages too.

 

What the FOOK is a HTC thingy Rick? Need some more info mate, who the hell make it and is it available on Orange? Thanks

 

I've been thinking about the sony ericsson P1, anyone got one of those?

 

nokia n95 600 mins n unlimited txts £35 a month wi orange

 

I got that. First Nokia in 8 years!

and LOVING it!

 

Palm Centro, only got a 1,3MP camera but other than that it can do what the others can do. Cheaper than the iPhone and people who had both usually likes the Centro better since you can use 3rd party applications on it. Offical support for 4GB card but works fine with 6 & 8 GB.

I havent used a Nokia or Ericsson for 10 years, smarthphone FTW.

 

best phone I have had in years!

BAttery life is two days for me - but charging it up every night is easier LOL

 

Im loving my W960i, touchscreen, 8gb, big screen etc

 

n95 8gb i'm getting next

i just need to find out WHO from

 

w880's are shockingly bad phones. They are so unreliable its unreal. A mate has one and it never works properly and just ignores you or freezeswhen you do something on it. When I got my n95 i was expecting it to be a pig for reliability(being a symbian), but apart from the size i cannot fault any of it. Its brilliant

 

I recently got a Samsung G800, but I only use it for calls, texting and taking pictures, the camera's brilliant.

It's the same size as the Nokia N95 but I didn't like mine so got rid after 2 months.

 

Dan N95 8gb is the one to have or an i phone...

the n95 is wicked!!! As it doesnt beep before the battery goes flat i can just blag it and hang up on you..... your none the wiser!


But best phone ive had yet!

 

people say the n95 is fragile but mine is a tough bastard. I bought it with a huuge crack in the top (why i got it soo cheap at the time), so it must have had a hefty drop. I also was bored once and was sliding it down the ramp at the local skate park and still works fine

 

on the n95 you can turn warning tones on or off for those of you that are not getting the warning beeps when off, you don't get that annoying nokia tune when you switch it on, but then you don't get the battery warning either

the original n95 takes 8GB memory cards and i love mine

 

Nick - il try that cheers

 

Looking like an Iphone or an N95 at the moment then, will have to pop down the shops and see what else is about

Arn't Iphone's about 300 fookin quid!?

 

I've just oredered the new LG Viewty which looks like a decent phone.

Unfortunatley, Orange wouldnt re-new my old contract of 2550 any network anytime minutes & unlimited text messages for £35 per month

They've offered me 1800 any netwok anytime minutes & unlimitd text messages for £35 per month.

 

The 1800 any network mins & unlimited txts for £35 seems like a fookin bargain!?

Is that a business plan or a personal one, available to everyone?

 

That's a personal plan Dan

They said I get a £40 per month loyalty discount because I've been with them for so long

But it's still not better than the deal they gave me last time (2550 any network any time minutes & unlimited text messages)

 

I'll have to go to Orange direct I reckon then, no fookin way am I going back to Carphone Warehouse, they are utter cunts!

 

Are you with Orange at the moment? Has your contract just finished?

 

I found phones 4u are best but the girl i deal with there wants some - well at least thats what i tell myself

 

Agree with all that

 

Yeah i'm currently with Orange mate, contract is up in about 6 weeks time or so, could hang on and get a £64 quid cheque at the end of the contract but tbh I can't be fucked as it's been a con from Carphone Warehouse all along!

Luke, it's a bloke really isn't it!

 

OK, what you need to do is wait until the day your contract is up (they wont do you a good deal until then) then give Orange Retentions a call on 08000 790 272 & talk to that team, they're the one's who can pull strings to get you a good deal
But remember they wont do you a good deal until the day your contract is up.

 

Funny you say that darling

 

Nice one AJ, I'll wait and see then... Cheers fella

 

No probs
