depends what you want from a phone.

features, ease of use, "cool-factor", games, good music player, thiness, clamshell, slide, candybar, touchscreen,

its always a compromise like most things in life. you cant have them all.

i wanted a touchscreen, smartphone with a shitload of features, so got a p1i. id have liked an easier to use music player, with buttons on the side for next track or sumthing but s**t happens.

i like to take photos when i go out and about (when i dont have the slr) so would need a good camera.

 

[JD]

ok, N95 or K850i is the choice now i think. unless there is another on the market that contends with these two other than the samsung?

[JD]

LG Viewty (5 mp camera) or the brand new Sony W960i (3.2 mp camera)?

Like others have said depends what you want it for.

camera really bud, and i hate LG as their stuff tends to, break!

I'd stay clear of the N95. I know a few people with one and they hate it.

Apparently the Viewty is meant to be ok, my only experience with LG was when I got a phone on 3 and it was the worst experience of my life, the phone was ok but the network was just terrible and got horribly ripped off, so not liked LG since as I assosciate them with those dark days...was just thinking about trying the Viewty but I will probably get a new Sony Ericsson when my upgrade is due.

I just want a small simple phone that fits into my pocket, not really bothered about music as I have an iPod, I guess having a decent camera is usefull though. 3.2 in the W960i might be worth a look, as the phone is very cool, although obviously there are 5 mp cameras in a few phones now (Viewty, N95 and K850i)

My dad has one and touch wood works very well, just too chunky for my liking.

id wait for the w960i. like my p1i but better music.

I've had the Viewty about 3 month now, cracking phone and there currently being hacked to run homebrew OS and software. Cameras good, amazing in outdoor light in fact and you can adjust everything from ISO to manual focus like a proper camera. In low light the flash isn't as strong as say a K800i or K850i so picture quality isn't as good imo, still very very good for a phone tho and more then good enough to take pissed up photos on a nate out!

anyone got the k850i the d pad looks very weird and difficult to use??
