I have one to....and I dont use it.

Why you may ask, well its simple.

1) The actual phone fucntion is crap
2) The camera is crap
3) The battery life is very crap (although I have the battery pack on the rear which helps but makes it very big)
4) Its pretty slow when you ask it do anything 'hard'

I have come to the conclusion that it has but 1 single thing its good at.....and thats its ability to access loads of pointless apps.

Hence, I am back onto a standard basic phone again which does the basics well.

In conclusion, its all mouth and no trousers

Has he stopped telling everyone he borrowed it off Mrs. TheBoy now, then? :-X

Frankly, the only thing I've ever wanted to do with a phone is talk to people. If I want to send e-mails, access the web, etc. I have a netbook with a proper keyboard. If I want to take pictures I have a digital SLR. If I want to watch a film I have a TV, etc...

Yes, a gayphone can do all these things - very badly. They are even sh1te for speech quality when being used as a phone, I find. ;D

That's from someone who has worked in mobile telecomms for nearly 20 years.

I am offered an upgrade to Iphone after being with Orange 13 years but the Nokia 6700 with 600 mins and unlimited tests plus data for £15 per month seems the way to go. A phone that seems to have a good reputation as a phone.

What is an Iphone? If it is some form of mobile phone then no thanks. Have managed now without one for five years!  ;D ;D

A few years ago i had a Sony Ericson k800i, it was their top of the range camera phone at the time. Had every feature i would need, my current phone has nothing radically different. Was solidly built, unlike most phones now and lasted me two years perfectly. If i hadnt have lost it i would still have it now, i think another 2 years later.
Currently have a Nokia e63 on contract, its a good solid phone, and certainly much better than the LG touchscreen crappy thing i had before, but still doesnt feel as solid as the old SE.

When I last upgraded, I got a SE walkman phone thingy. I used it for a month and then dug out my old nokia. SE is in a drawer somewhere.

i personally dont think the iphone is particularly good at anything, esp when you consider its the only model phone apple produce, which is its strength compared to Nokia as Apple have refind out any bugs and concentrate on one model with one o.s.

Other manufacturers, if given the same one product deal over the sme time frame, would have a far more powerfull gadget by now.

Only thing i would like on an iphone is tomtom with external gps module, tomtom is not available officialy in fully working form for any of the latest nokias afaik.

I currently have a Nokia n900, which if bug free would be fantastic, but in true Nokia style they are happy to let thier customers find the bugs for them.

I've had the same K850i since '07. 
I keep getting the "you're entitled to a free up-grade" texts and letters from Orange, but the K850i does everything I need so I've not bothered.

Wouldn't know what to go for anyway. :D
