phone upgrade due

bb31 · 10-05-2005, 23:15

ok, so my phone is due for upgrade in a couple of weeks, and this time i thought that i would do some research first before being landed with a phone i dont really like. at the moment i have a sony ericsson t610.

I am currently on the o2 network and on ringing to find out which phones are on offer to upgrade to, i am advised that they dont have a list but i can chose from any vodafone (!) phone.

Apparently when i rang the customer services number it had changed and given a new number. i was informed that o2 has been taken over by vodafone

i wondered why the bills had changed recently. There is so many phones to chose from but so i wonder if anyone had any preferences on which i should go for.

anyway below is a list of things i think are essential and i list of things i would like. any help would be gratefully appreciated!!

essential:
infrared
bluetooth
decent camera phone ( with a decent memory for saving pics)
picture tex
tex msg memory to hold more than 20 messages
alarm clock

would like if poss
video camera phone
fm radio
speaker phone
allow me to download mp3's to it

sorry for not being very technical

oh and i dont really like black coloured phones, but not bothered on the make.

anyone whos got a good phone that seems to fit, let me know so i can go and have a nosy around before i buy

thank youuuuuuuuuuuu

If you wait for a bit then you'll get the phone cheaper/free.

My dad was due for an upgrade at 12months but waited 18months and got a free V3

not true! perhaps your phone supplier which used to sell O2 products has been taken over by Vodafone.

go to carphonewarehouse - they'll demo any phone they have in stock.

Got the model number wrong... I was thinking of the K700i (http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?...=pp1&pid=10139)...

Anyway, the K750i looks interesting. It's not available yet, however. http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?...&zone=pp&lm=pp

Ive just got a Nokia 6260. Its only a vga camera, but does every thing else you want. Its got a hot swappable RS-MMC 32mb card, plus as it uses the Symbian opperating system, you can download loads of apps to extend the phones capabilities.
