Re: Which mobile phone to upgrade to?

yeah got the N95 8gb edition now for a bit more then a week and its a good phone and probably for the moment the best on the market.

SE doesnt have anything great out at the moment, okay K850 is good but missing either Wlan or GPS 2 functions that are quite handy.

also if you are on O2 you can get any kind of bolt on to your contract, I've gone for data as I use that more then the 600 mins or the 600 texts.

I went for that one as well, Wander if it really is unlimited, my Phone probably uses a fair bit of data.

Re: Which mobile phone to upgrade to?

Hmmm, so I have the phone now....but I've managed to block it and need a PUK code. Is there any way to get this apart from via customer services (who I can't call because my phone's locked)!? I've not got my landline plugged in at the moment (I only have it for broadband).

Whos your provider? You can get a PUK code online with O2

I've recently got an iPhone via O2 and the battery life on that is poo although the rest of the features are quite handy, i'm just waiting on a headphone adaptor that ive ordered because the headphones that come are poo aswell (they dont stay in my ears).

I'm on the 600mins & 600txts tariff and it also comes with unlimited data (though mainly used via WLAN [not counting towards my data usage] as it doesnt have 3G (oh well))

Re: Which mobile phone to upgrade to?

I'm on Orange, I got it unlocked online thanks....but the damn thing is faulty, it has no sound so I'm awaiting a replacement tomorrow!

Grrr why did I agree to stay with Orange knowing what they're like?!

Battery life is pooer than some phones but I get 2 days out of it if I've not hammered it.

Had it mine since Launch and if the new one has a hard drive in it as well as 3g then I could well be tempted with it.

I get a couple of days out of it even if i use it on wi-fi alot. Tends to get charged overnight though as its my alarm clock for the morning.

I wonder if they'll offer new version as an upgrade to exisiting users once their contract runs out...? If so I'd consider it.

Re: Which mobile phone to upgrade to?

I just had the chance to upgrade to a new phone but opted to keep the one I've already got (K800i), as that phone is still good enough today easily. Instead I opted for the same tariff but for half price for the next 12 month contract. Works out better in my opinion.
