    New phone in a few weeks

    Probably stick with o2 as I've not had any trouble with them, altho I am open to moving if the network coverage is good and I can get a good deal.

    Currently got a 6233i (sick) on the o2 £35 a month shop deal.
    Very rarely go over on my minutes/texts so dont really need more on that department.
    Had a K750, loved it, had the 800 too but killed it hence my using a spare 6233i..

    What kinda phones are gonna have all the features I like in a nice small package, dont want to be any bigger phonewise than I have.

    Needs camera, bluetooth, web browser, preferably microSD as I already have a 2gb card.

    Why not go for the new Sony Ericsson W960I, has everything you mentioned except it has 8Gb internal memory with no memory slot. Also has Wi Fi with web browser, 3.2 Mb camera and a full touch screen interface. Available on new contracts of £35 per month.

    Re: New phone in a few weeks

    It's a good bit chunkier than the K750/W800 though.

    Re: New phone in a few weeks

    K850i and N95 might be worth a look, I'll go have a poke in the shop this weekend n then goto the website n get them from there, usually cheaper, hadnt looked at the 960 tho, no card slot but 8gb internal might do the trick, esp if its got wifi...

    Nokia N82 seems to be getting good reviews.

    Re: New phone in a few weeks

    Theres always the k800 as an option, loved my old one and it did everything I ever wanted of it, dont think I ever did any web browsing on it tho so that'll be a negative if its not got a decent browser.

    Mate at work has the 850 and has mentioned the delays in picture taking, he says the quality is better but it doesnt seem as versitile as the 800 and seems to be slower in taking pictures, maybe a setup issue?

    Re: New phone in a few weeks

    I've got the k800i (coming up for replacement) and its nice enough, but having used an N95 that would be the phone I'd get. I even looked at the TYTN II on o2 for £35/month, so I might go that way when I renew.

    I've had to use my k800i's browser a few times - fairly painful experience. The screen is too small for the job really and having to use the stick to move through the fields, then having to use the numpad to enter text is a pain. That said, it's helped me a few times when I've had no other option :-)

    Re: New phone in a few weeks

    And on the browser front have a look at OperaMini, copes with really small screens much better than anything else.

    Don't mean to bang on but you really should at least take a look at the new Nokia N82, o2 I believe are the only network providing it at the moment so you're ok there. It's similar in features to the N95, but has a smaller profile and a proper Xenon flash (which a lot of people are loving). I've see quite a few reports now suggesting that it's pipped the N95 as the current favourite, of course that's all subjective.

    Re: New phone in a few weeks

    The N82 looks nice. Un-assuming and conventional, which isnt nessesarily a bad thing. I've never been completely convinced about the styling of the N95.
