[Final Maxim]

i get to upgrade my phone in a couple of weeks.

i can go upto the £30 a month tariff for 2 years, phones gotta be free though

sony ericsson satio looks good with 12mpxl camera

i like the nokia 5800 chrome aswell

few blackberrys in there but i dont want phone with a mini keyboard.

my criteria is take good pictures, have video camera, have sound recorder and a decent mp3 player
im clueless with phones, so which are the best from that lot?

cheers

£30 gets you an 8GB iPhone 3G for 18 months.

just been reading reviews and the nokia 5800 is just as good as the iphone in comparrissons? nokia is only £15 a month too.

but ive just compared the satio to the 5800 and the satio wees all over it.

hmmm

If you want good pics/vids (For the kids I presume?) the i-phones and blackberrys are garbage.

In my experience, Sony erricsons cannot be beaten for that sort of thing.

yea Dan, i have a digi camera but i take my phone everywhere, nice to be able to snap good pictures wherever i go or take some decent videos.

Same as my Mrs and she got rid of her Sony for some new nokia thing and she hates it!

iPhone isn't good if you want a good camera. But for everything else, it rules

right.. im currently with t-mobile

from t-mobile i can get a Satio (free) 24 months for £25 a month
from t-mobile i can get a nokia 5800 (free) 24 months for £15 a month

or..

i could switch to vodafone and get a

HTC Legend (free) 24 months for £20 a month


hmmmmmmmm

The iPhone 3G camera isn't great but the screen does help it out. It is a really good MP3 player and has a voice recorder but doesn't have a video function as standard (Apps availble to cure this though)

ok final 2, htc have got amazing reviews id never looked at em tbh

i can get a

HTC Desire 24 mth Orange 400 minutes, 300 texts - £25

or

HTC Legend 24 mth Vodafone 100 minutes, 500 texts - £20

neither of these come with unlimited internet. ive never really used internet on a phone, how much does it cost? is it worth getting a deal with free internet?

after a nice chat with Hannah from Vodafone.. im still undecided lol

You: ok basically my contract with t-mobile is gonna expire in the next couple of weeks and ive been looking at deals on other networks
You: im looking at getting either a HTC legend or desire with unlimited internet
You: what price per month are both of those, with unlimited internet and free handset?
Hannah: let me check and write down
You: i got linked to a page with the legend which says its £20 a month with unlimited internet, but when i got here it says "free 500mb of mobile internet" which is confusing me
You: ok cheers
Hannah: there's fair usage policy of 300MB for unlimited Internet
You: is that per month?
Hannah: and you get 500MB of Internet data free every month as it is included in the price plan
Hannah: yeh, per month
You: so that would be 800mb total per month?
Hannah: 500MB
You: ok and thats £20 for the legend?
Hannah: yeh, that's right
Hannah: and you get HTC Legend for FREE
You: and how much for the desire?same package
Hannah: The lowest and best tariff available with FREE HTC DESIRE .....
Hannah: is on 24 months at only £30 with 600 mins & unlimited text + 500MB Mobile Internet & webmail
You: and in your oppinion, is the desire worth the extra £10 a month?
Hannah: erm yeh, as it supports latest version of Operating System
You: awesome, thanks for your help hannah
