Well as long as it is newer then the very first htc touch mda... yes, we do...

Sorry to hijack a thread, but I'm kinda after a new phone to replace my Nokia 6300 and I've looked at some that are WAY out of my pricerange (N97 for instance)...but I've just been on the phone with Carphone Warehouse (the guy who did my contract in fact!) and amongst others they've recommended me the Nokia 5530 and I was wondering people's thoughts on it and/or alternatives in a similar price range?  I can get it for £139 unlocked from CW (maybe cheaper on eBay, or elsewhere, but that's the max)

I have an X1, and although it's a great phone, at this point I wouldn't suggest getting a Windows Mobile based phone.

The X1's hardware is great, but Windows Mobile is a dying OS which was originally intended for old PDAs, and it still feels like that, meaning a lot of the UI was just meant to be used with a stylus. You can get all kinds of fancy shells which make it more bearable, but there's only so much you can cover up with a 3rd party shell. And UI can still be incredibly slow. Besides that applications being developed for it isn't anything like for Android or iPhone.
There is a new Windows Mobile version coming up which attempts to get rid of the PDA feel, but I doubt if they'll succeed. And most likely you wouldn't be able to upgrade your Windows Mobile phone to a newer version of the OS.

My contract doesn't end for a while, but I think my new phone would be an Android.

Exactly what I was trying to get across. Winmo phones are too much hassle, so unless youd like to spend time  making it into what you like, id get something else.

HTC Diamond2, and on that note, please be sure to mail me your N95

If you wish to pay for the repairs on the phone (works most of the time just has a few issues occasionally), and also the postage to you, you can have it

why not have a look at Optus for a 16GB IPhone?

---

Because I am doing it as part of a loyalty upgrade on Three.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks, I am looking into the iPhone, however a lot of Three Shops are out of stock at the moment, I also looked at the N96 but wanted something a little different to my N95 and its not much different.

Unfortunately I was banned by PayPal for being underrage, so I need to wait until December until I turn 18 to get it activated again.

Hi Eddie

I have BlackBerry Storm 9500. Well the model really very attractive not only for a smart phone,but also in the mobile world.

I have the Storm from two weeks now and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants a high-end business smartphone. It came with the latest firmware update and I have never experienced any lag or slowdown at all!The Internet Blackberry Service is just great on that phone with gorgeous huge display.

Hope this review will help to you.

Recieved my iPhone today, brilliant phone, love all the funny apps on it, i essentially also now have 3 iPods so if anyone wants to score one of them?

SonicSam, I will get to you about the N95 soon...
