    Which Phone?!?!

    I'm stressing about which mobile to get.

    The options are...

    Nokia N95

    SE W880i

    LG Prada


    The N95 looks good but I've already got an N80 and they are very similar after looking at one today. Just a toy I think and I bet the battery will be poop.

    The w880i is tiny and well made + has 3g and the battery will last for days. Basically the sensible choice.

    The Prada phone looks cool as fuck, it's not 3g and touch screens are hard to use when you are walking etc but the UI and build quality is mint.


    Anyone had any good or bad experiences with any of these phones?

    Tar!

    I fancied the LG but I read a review that said you need to be concentrating whenever you're using the sms functions. No good if you're on the move a lot or enjoy getting pissed :p

    I was also a bit worried that it would be easily damaged after a few months due to the battering it would probably get.

    I just got a silver K800i yesterday and I love it already :)

    Reclined with my feet up !
    My contracts up end of this month too , ive got the se k800i at the mo and my last 5 or six phones have been se and loved eveyone of them.

    Options ive been looking at recently have been the lg prada cos it looks lush but i txt loads n dunno if it would be practical.

    The silver se w880i looks lush , good software etc but shit camera/no flash

    The nokia n95 looks mint but ive heard there's been problems with all the n series so far n the menu's are a nightmare compared to se's !!

    finally there's the se k810i which is really just a sidestep from the k800i with a new case and tarted up software , the camera remains 3.2mp .........???

    I can see me ending up with the lg prada but not till ive had a shot of one and get the feel for it !!

    I thought sony e would have released a 5mp camera phone to compete with nokia by now tbh like !!!

    I've got a P990i

    dont bother if you want a top of the range camera as its only 2mp but i cant fault it in anyway (battery could be better but couldnt they always)

    WLAN
    3G
    Sony UI
    Touch Screen
    Standard or Qwerty keypad (you can remove the front flip so the qwerty is on show all the time)

    i've found my data speeds have been really fast with this specific phone, never fail to get downloads of 46kbps (although this might not be much use if you have the net at home unlike me)

    the Prada is meant to be pretty good

    i'd stay away from any Nokia phones, they havent done a good one since the 6230

    Totally agree, thing is that no phone has a camera that replaces a proper one so I'm not that arsed. All I want is something that allows me to quickly capture something written on paper or a screen which this is good enough to do.

    So true.

    Rob: when you get it, can you let us know if the buttons are useable, the battery any good and if it really does turn off if you touch it the wrong way? I think I really want one of these, just need some final approval :D

    [​IMG]

    Problem is i need a new phone very soon but theres no release date for this thing other than a rumour of it being late this year but that could quite easily be wrong.

    Which puts me in the same boat as everyone else in this thread though im leaning towards the n95 at the mo but just cant decide.

    i like the look of the n95 apart from when u slide it up the buttons look tacky as fuck. with it also sliding both ways it seems like itll brake easy. probably just me nitpicking tho!

    It's not about the Mega pixels though. It's about the optics.

    My n90 had a 2mp camera but it was way better than the 3mp camera in my n80.
