    New Phone Recommendations

    Coming up for contract renewal

    Must haves : wifi, modem, good mp3 player, oh and making phone calls


    short list

    Sony X1
    Blackberry Bold
    Nokia N96
    iphone ??


    Have tried looking online for reviews, but most seem to be written by 13 yr olds stating how cool the iphone is and how rubbish phone x, y, z is.

    Any actual user experiences of any of the above (apart from the iphone - plenty around in the office)

    Well to be honest I normally ask for money on contract renewal... but as times are hard I suppose "payment in kind" is an option.........

      Considered any of the current HTC devices (like the Touch Diamond2) or the new Palm Pre?

      Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

                Hold out for the Palm Pre and the iPhone 3GS. I believe they may blow the competition out of the water.

                I have the Blackberry Bold. I don't rate it. Forget the Storm, you'll be returning it to the store in a week.
