any iphone like phones

[Laura]

contract is up next monday and i want a new phone, decided i dont want an iphone but i would like a phone that has mobile internet thats easy to use (like the iphone) any one any ideas?

 

[Daz]

Just get an iPhone? Heh.

 

[Gareth]

get one of these, very iPhone like.

 

[Laura]

dont want an iphone as they are all out of stock and the contracts are rubbish

What network you on?

If you are into mobile internet, then iphone is good as you get unlimited data.

But there's an iphone rival coming out soon if not out already called the Nokia N96.

[Laura]

im with Tmobile atm, but want a new number so not bothered about changing networks

 

[timmmah]

N96 is worth asking about if you check the link above as it was the winning phone.

I have an iPhone 3G. But hey, I'm an apple fan and love my gadgets.

 

[Laura]

due out oct , maybe ill hand on for that then

Not really.
£45 for 1200 mins, 500 text, and unlimited wifi/internet?

Seems pretty good to me.. Heh.

 

[Laura]

N96 is still too thick at 18mm to be considered a mobile phone IMO (N95 was 22mm or 23mm!)

Besides, it's not really like the iPhone as it has no big touch screen. Maybe LG will update the Viewty to make it a tad faster and be more application friendly - although it was never meant to be a 'smart' phone.

HTC Touch? Or is that considered a PDA?

choose a cheaper package and then add the unlimited text bolt on for 7.99.

 

[Laura]

then you end up paying for the phone, its not about that

 

[Schweppy]

Just get an iphone....

 

[MaLicE]

no phone out does what the iphone as well and as easy as it does.. the iphone tarrifs are actually good, i pay 45 + 7.99 i get 1200min, unlim txts, unlim 3g etc... plus i can hold 16gb of songs, video, applications, etc...

it plays games so much better than any other phone, and just works alot better... plus i got a ipod headunit in the car i connect it and it plays everything through it... i get mobile internet and email anywhere anytime and for free completely worth it.

If you're not an existing customer then I'd say go to Apple store as you get £20 off mobileme, which is worth it just for the push services.

 

[Charlieboy]

I always recomend N95

 

[Laura]

had a n95 sent it back

I have just had this dilemma and went for the iPhone after much debate. Its a much more competitive offering this time round.

 

[sneeks]

No other mobile phone offers as good a internet browsing experience as the iPhone. Nokia's browsers are a joke to use, I don't miss those days one bit.

Add unlimited texts for £7.50

To be fair thats a pish deal if it wasnt for the phone coming with it.

 

[172Ben]

so it would be £52.50pm for 1200 minutes + ultd txts with unltd wifi/interet??

 

[sneeks]

or £42.50 for 600 minutes, unlimited texts and wifi/data.

You'll also be offered a o2 treat after 3 months and these usually adds on an additional 100 minutes or 100 texts per month. These do vary though.

 

[Andy]

If you don't buy a Nokia N96 or N95 8Gb then you're a tool.

 

[Laura]

if your an existing 02 customer do you get any deals you cant get as a new customer?

 

[Andy]

Best just to phone up and haggle. Be prepared to leave them if you want the best deal; no point in making threats unless you are going to carry them through.

Get an iPhone, then the tariff's are fixed.. awesome.. no bartering FTW!
