    What phone?

    I've had a Nokia N95 8GB for the last year and a half and upgrade time is due in September. I've been looking at the latest phones and would ordinarily just have gone for the N97 as it's basically the next generation of what I have, however, I've seen a few iffy reviews of it and so thought I'd look around. I use the GPS and wifi on the N95 as well as the camera (it's very good for a phone and 5M pixel). I was looking at the Samsung Jet and there are phones by HTC and Blackberry too that fit the bill. There are so many phones on the market now that i thought I'd canvass opinion on here so post what you'd recommend or new phone experiences.

    iPhone.
    I'd have ditched my Nokia a year ago if my contract had let me, and I've had Nokias for years.

        Port your number over.
        I did it to Orange years ago from Cellnet, and when I upgrade to the 3GS from the 3G I'll be porting from Orange who I'm now fed-up with.
        Just phone Voda and get a PAC code off them.
        Just remember to port within 14 days of the new purchase....

          as i mentioned before. HTC touch diamond 2 with windows mobile seems to be quite good. It has touch flow capabilities, like the iphone

              Me too, i thought i was the only one who liked them. But, this business of accidentally putting calls on hold gets a little irritating

                  had N97 for one day. it "hangs", also sometimes people calls, but phone is not ringing and no missed call apears, 5mpix camera very bad,. Touch screen as I can say is not working at all
                  iPhone, or E65
                  when choosing phone also look over http://sar.nokia.com/ other phones can search for SAR on google

                    I've just got the iphone 3GS last night - only had a quick play with it last night and seems great to use..
                    The decider for me though was that I wanted to intsall http://www.dynolicious.com.

                    So will have to find a quiet stretch of road this weekend to play with my new toy

                          Also the new google phone is worth considering. Got the G1 and been very pleased with it and the fact it has a qwerty keyboard is a bonus for surfing too

                            I was in the same position, N95 8GB.
                            I looked at tons of others, and in the end thought... it does everything I want, never goes wrong or crashes, so no point swapping for the sake of it!
                            So I changed the theme to freshen it up a little and have carried on with it ever since

                              MIne needs a new battery, hardly expensive but nearly the same cost as a decent upgrade...
