I am about to upgrade my mobile and don,t know which to go for. It is for work and will be on contract so not bottherd about the cost just need a phone with good camera and not to big. Any recommendations

For a business phone I would always go for a Nokia as I like (am familliar with) their Operating System. The business focused Nokia's perform better than the 'form over function' consumer focused handsets from other manufacturers!

Nokia N95 8Gb, superb still and video camera and huge internal memory. Bit chunky but does everything, has built in GPS, Google Maps, Ebay, etc, etc..... I love it....

one thing to bare in mind with these new all fangled ones like the i-phone, n95 or my stellar is that these things are more like computers than phones with the attendant headaches that those are famous for. Mines a great device but does require me to often look up the manual to sort issues out and I only just understand how to set it up.

That's 'cos you're an old bugger!!! Really though, I only use a fraction of the awesome and rather confusing things on my N95

probably but the manual is like 3/4 of an inch thick! first I thought it due to all the other languages, then saw it was all in English

Manual - wot manual, never even looked at it

I have an N95 and it's about as useful as a kn0b flavoured lollipop. I've had it 6 months and it's been back in for repair 3 times (freezing, losing memory) and now the speakers has blown, and before you ask I aint a chav playing my music on the back of the bus, just regular use.

Garbage IMHO.
