    New phone

    Looking at a "normal" phone to replace my 910i for a few months until I look at 990i's n the likes..

    o2 have the following atm..
    Motorola V3, never had a moto fone before, dont like flip/clamshell fones but the V3 looks nice n thin...

    Nokia 6680, Not had a Nokia in a few years but always liked the ones I had...

    XDA Mini, possible but maybe big, not seen a demo of these yet..

    K750i, SE thats had a lot of good and bad coverage...

    Yeah, tbh I can kinda get along without most of the features on the 910, just have to find a PC a bit more often and I'll miss Chess and Solitaire on the 910 lol but for now a simple phone will do as long as it has some sort of calendar and can make calls n has blueteeth...

    Have a look at the C550 and the C600 which will be out soon on Orange. Both are amazing phones and do everything you need.

    They're branded by Orange but made by a company called HTC.

    Both the K750i and 6680 would be good choices. The 6680 has the better calender, but the size might put you off. The 6680 is a smartphone so there's lots of (free) games for it, if that's what you want.

    The Nokia 6680 (and new N70) run a similar symbian OS to your 910i, so many of your favorate apps should be avalabe for them. Unfortunately there is no binary compatability between the the 910i, and the Nokia devices, but it is very easy to port between the two, so most vendors supply versions for both.

    Out of curiosity, why not just keep your 910i untill the new 990i becomes avalable? why switch phones twice?

    I'm loving my V3

    Good points:
    Thin, light, good looking (imo at least) and fits in your pocket unobtrusively
    mini-usb interface means there's an abundance of cables. None of this proprietary rubbish.
    quad-band, bluetooth, etc...

    Bad points:
    The motorola UI is a bit frustrating at times (but then so are other UI's!)
    The processor is a mite slow making operational sluggish at times where the phone is catching up with your input (i.e. don't expect to play action games) but quite manageable

    Other:
    The buttons aren't to everyones tastes, but they're actually quite big and easy to use once you get over the flatness.
    The camera works, but is as pointless as all other phone cameras (imo)
    it's my first clamshell phone and I'm a convert!

    Trig is used to a big UIQ smartphone, and intends to get another, so I doubt he would have a problem with the size of the 6680 which is small in comparison.

    Nokia 6680 is the better phone.

    V3 is less capable, but if your not bothered about functionality then go for size.

    I like the XDA Mini. They're probably similar size, maybe slightly shorter than a P910, but they're WIndows Mobile so they're better Nice slide-out keyboard too
