    What gadget?

    I fancy getting some new kinda gadget that would be usefull and wouldnt jsut waste money on.

    - I fancy a new mp3 player and the ipod touch looks good (but ive always intentionally not bought ipod products cause everyone else does

    - Creative's Zen X-Fi (this looks good but ive heard so many probs with the software and sometimes hardware of creatives mp3 products

    - Anything else worth buying atm or thinking of buying in the future?

    - MY pc could do with an upgrade but that would require a full build

    My budget is about 200 ish

    Re: What gadget?

    what about phones?

    i'm not too sure about current prices, but maybe a n95 / k850 or something similar

    edit: okay, maybe not an n95. Never realised how expensive they are

    Re: What gadget?

    how much does the touch diamond retail for? and will it work on orange?


    I have a n73 which is the worst phone ive ever used, and dont thin ka n95 is much a of a step and warrants buying it, although the n95 is a great phone, its jsut another phone

    But if you spend money on an iPod you are spending £200 to be a sheep. A sheep that thinks its trendy and cool.

    But back to the OP, depends on what you do alot that you'd like your new gadget to perform.

    If you listen to loads of music on the trot, iPod maybe the way to go.

    You could always donate it to a worthy charity and feel the warmth of generosity and self-lessness.

    OR GET A ROBOT! IT DOES KARATE!

    How about one of those keyboards that projects itself onto your desk? How much are they?

    Wait. N-n-n-n-no SonicStage, no Connect?

    SOLD!

    Although, does it have expandability? It would be a lot sweeter if it had SDHC support..
