I have a SE V800:



'tis very nice, 3G on Vodafone.


Don't forget to sell your old one on Ebay, you'll get a tidy sum for it. I always do.

Considered both the above, and came away with the D500 in the finish, because I was not that impressed with my Sony T610, and felt their new one would have similar traits.

D500 is shaping up quite well (though I dont use half the functions)

I'm not sure what phone I have, but its a Nokia. It's pretty good for phoning people up and talking to them.

I've got a D500.

Apart from cracking the screen (my fault entirely) I've been pretty impressed.

I have two minor gripes though.

If you have big fingers then the ridge round the edge can make texting slightly uncomfortable.

And the camera is biased towards taking 'snaps' rather than 'photographs'.

Otherwise a very nice bit of kit and I'm chuffed with it.

I've got a SE S700i. It's got Bluetooth, MP3 player, FM radio, a 1.3 megapixel camera and a large colour screen.

If you want the 'soft porn' looksee, www.sonyericsson.com/product/s700/

Follow the link and you'll see what I mean

It does everything tbh. Only thing it doesn't have is AGPS.

Camera is 1280x768 and can do panoramic shots.

I quite like the idea of the new Nokia 6230i, the improvements on the 6230 seem worth a look at.

There was a lot of interest on ‘The Antiques Roadshow’ the other week when someone brought along a 3330.

That's really all I ask of a phone, I'm not too interested in various extra features that are unlikely to get used.

I want to make a change from my current Siemens C25 which is on a small user tariff with Vodafone.

Eileen recently obtained a Nokia (I don't know what model it is) on a pay-as-you-go arrangement with Virgin, and she thinks I should do the same, partly because calls between our two phones would then be cheaper. However, I have two concerns:

a) I would prefer not to deal with Virgin because of their support for T2000.
b) My current phone number is quite a good one, and I do not want to have to change it.

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a numpty on this subject, so any thoughts and advice please?

Best wishes all,
Dave.
