O/T Mobile phones

[ifm]

Right it's upgrade time and i was wondering what the best phones are at the moment?
I really like the nokia 8800 but a couple of my pals have them and reckon the reception is shite.
Not really interested in all the bangs and bells but hey it's a free upgrade so i may aswell have the best

Nokia 6230i (will be classed as being "old" after Christmas, but its the best phone I have had since the 8850. Or the new Nokia communicator so you can get blonde on the move.

I used to have a communicator, but upgraded away from it. I miss it and want a new one. Great bit of kit.

I have a Samsung e530, great phone, but sadly it's ONLY FOR GIRLS!!!

isnt the 6230 old already   Nice phone though.

I like the sony k700i, i guess the newer k750i will be another step up.  never had a problem with them (last phone was a sony too)  I think Im going to get the nokia 6680 next though.

Isnt reception down to the network you are on though ?

I take a lot of photos for work and as these are needed onlt on a small size format, I dont need a particularly high resolution.

I decided I could use my phone for this and as a result have been using the 2 mp cameras on the market. Have used both the Sony k700i and the Samsung D600. They're both good phones (bout as good as you will get under 3g). Prefer the operation of the Samsung but the Sony has the advantage of better protection for the camera (as the lens is exposed all the time on the Samsung).

Your choice but I would recommend you have a look at these two.

I recently upgraded my Nokia 6230 to a Samsung E720 which I am well pleased with. Nice compact flippy phone not too many bells and whistles, cool clock on the front cover, light weight as well. 1megapixal camera.
hated the 6230, the button for navigating the menu was rubbish. the 6230i has corrected that but i couldnt face another year with that phone!
