not another nokia e-series

what do you use your phone for? business? personal?

what are your main uses for the phone? gadget? camera? email?

if youre looking for a busiess phone with the best messaging capability (ie keeping in touch via email, IM, etc. on the move) then look at the blackberrys

if you want a gadget, then there are loads of phones out there ie iphone, HTCs etc.

you simply cannot beat a blackberry for mobile email (unless its a WANKY storm)

however it is not the "must-have" consumer gadget so won't keep you and your friends entertained for hours with silly apps and games

for what its worth if you blow over the speaker it sometimes fixes this problem,dust get stuck over the mesh.

I would have a google of some reviews on the x10 chap, it was one of the phones i was looking into before i upgraded and there was one or two things that i read (i forget the details) which put me off and turned me towards the iphone, ive now had it almost 2 weeks and loving it, there really is nothing i dislike about it really

My misses has the Blackberry curve thingy, its alright and it feels well built to be honest and doesnt have any loose parts like most nokias(mostly the slider ones) as said above dont buy it if you want to load it will games and music, its not good for that

i dropped my 1st one 6" and it broke the camera then got a replacement and dropped it down toilet within 2 days but it worked fine since dried out... they are fragile though
