Hi all

 

I have a contract with O2 - now time to get a new 'phone from them! :(

 

Keeping to my same tariff.....I can choose from the following:

 

HTC Smart

LG Optimus

Nokia 5800

Nokia 031

Nokia 6700 slide

Nokia C5

Samsung Genio

Samsung Monte

Sony Ericcson Elm

 

Have had a quick look at some of them online - but would love to have your recommendations...or your 'definitely don't haves'! :o

 

I do know that I would like a phone with a QWERTY keyboard - I'm hopeless at texting - sure I would be better with a keyboard! xD

from Which reviews and testing....

 

HTC Smart

Pros: Reasonably priced for a touchscreen model, long-lasting battery

Cons: Features and processor can't compare with those on many other smartphones

 

LG Optimus- not found..

 

Nokia 5800

Pros: Large touchscreen, outstanding music player

Cons: Very little, internet use drains the battery pretty quickly

 

Nokia 031- not found...

 

Nokia 6700 slide

Pros: Pretty portable, access to Ovi application store

Cons: Short talktime, small screen

 

Nokia C5

Pros: Easy to use, great battery

Cons: Poor headphones, small screen

 

there were 2 Samsung Genio, so put both...

Samsung Genio Qwerty

Pros: Full keyboard, great price, easy to use

Cons: Small, low resolution screen, slow web speeds

Samsung Genio Touch -a best buy..

Pros: Great-value touchscreen phone

Cons: Not 3G

 

Samsung Monte

Pros: Good value touchscreen model

Cons: Poor camera, phone struggled to open some web pages, no virtual Qwerty keyboard

 

Sony Ericcson Elm

Pros: Green credentials, light and portable, Google Maps.

Cons: Screen is quite small and not the easiest to view.

 

 

 

I dont use any but a basic phone so unable to comment on any, but above is from Which? and may help or confuse!

I've got the Nokia 5800 and I love it.

 

Positives - great music playback (I use mine instead of an MP3), very easy to use (like all Nokias), has QWERTY keyboard or typical phone one or handwriting recognition for texting, super little camera...it's just all so great!

 

Negatives - definitely goes through batteries quicker than my old phone which didn't have a touch screen (but it's definitely worth the trouble - I just charge it every other day) and very rarely it has frozen (like a computer would but easily sorted as I just take the battery out!)

 

I've been able to download loads of free games and apps so my kids always ask to 'play on my phone' when we're out! Oh, and there are free maps for life which is good in emergencies!

It's very robust - I've dropped it so many times but there's not a mark on it (it's definitely worth getting screen protectors)

Oh sounds really good Jane - thanks for that :o
