Which mobile phone
roadrunner - 18/8/09 at 09:26 PM

Contract is up for renewal and i am stuck for choice.
Nokia N97 great for everything really especially photos.

I phone 3GS good for apps but not as good with photos or movies, but does it have free GPS sat nav.

Which is best you decide.

ive got a blackberry! very good if you do alot of internet browsing!

iPhone doesn't have built in sat nav as such, google maps yes, with directions but not true turn by turn guidence. 3gs does do photos and movies though.


I'm a bit biased as I own one but the 3gs has exceeded my expectations by quite a way. Still has a few little glitches but most are being sorted.

Have a look at the sony ericsson C905. I've had a couple of smart phones with all sorts of stuff on them that I never used.
When I came to renew mine I decided the things I wanted were a phone and a decent quality camera (which I use a fair bit).

The C905 has 8.1MP cybershot camera with xenon flash, smile recognition etc etc. It's a cracking piece of kit.

Although the screen's not as big as i-phone or N37 it does well for internet speed etc. The N37 reviews are poor but it's 'Horses for courses' really depending what you want it to do well.

a crackberry for me! (8900)
I am now completely addicted to it - it looks good imo, and is hands down the best for email - i often post on here with it and receive notifications of replies, so I can post very easily from the garage. The GPS is amazingly handy too. Zillions of USEFUL apps on it.

You bunch of pansies!

My phone calls people, does messages, and takes half decent pictures when some tool crashes into you.
Mind you I'm getting into pansy territory myself cos I can now get it to play music through my car stereo

Sony W595, does what you need it to do, cos do you trust Nokia to direct you?

Iv just got a nokia 5800 excellent phone. I put Garmin sat nav on it for free and it works really well. easy to use photos are very good.

I was going to get an N97 but had a play with one and didnt like it.

Another vote for the nokia 5800. It has some good applications, never had it freeze or play up like the i-phone. The GPS in it is okay but if you want to do performance testing using the application Racechrono its can be inaccurate, but you can buy a good GPS reciever for around £30 and bluetooth it with the phone.

iPhone.
Try one in a shop. You will love it.

iPhone is the way to go. Nothing else even compares to it, and anyone that tells you otherwise obviously hasn't used one.

Go into an O2 shop and have a good play with one. You'll be converted!

If it were me, I'd go for the iphone 'cos I use the internet quite a lot, as for the Sony C905, there have been a lot of problems with the slider and the 'C' key breaking. The Nokia 5800 is a nice phone, but lacking slightly in apps. i don't like the N97, but for a few quid less, the N86 is brilliant and has just won the award for best camera on a phone. (and it has an OLED screen for the geeks).
I've got the slightly older N85 and the sat nav is excellent, came with an 8Gb SD card as standard and I love it. It is also an Ngage gaming machine....what more do you want!!
Anything with a touch screen is a bit iffy really (unless it's an iphone) as they don't seem very accurate.

All IMO of course...

Nokia 5800, Garmin GPS, photo's with GPS, Google Maps, RaceChrono, Iplayer and many many more
