ive got the Nokia N95 and not impressed at all. Keeps switching itself off and all sorts. Re-installed the firmware and still no joy.
The new K850i looks quite impressive. Looking to get my N95 replaced under my mobile insurance if it keeps up and thinking bout getting this as a replacement.

I had a play on an i-phone last night...that was really good. A lot different being touch screen. The mp3 player is awesome and the camera aint bad either. Although they're not out till next week (my step dad is manager of o2 and hes been given one) but shhhh

I was all for the iPhone (if you chewck the thread on them a while back i defended it to my last breath!) but now that iv had a shot of one & seen the camera quality for myself im def not getting one, its a total abomination, will need to buy a pocket camera if i were to get one & just grit my teeth when im in the pub & cant send anyone bluetooth files!
Get an N95 & an iPod touch if you like the iPhone tbh, best of both worlds...
betty02
1st November 2007, 09:43
iPhone = Shit, what would you want a phone were you cant send MMS?? And pay silly money for the phone not for it even to be guarenteed to work, then you pay shit money for shit minutes and emssages!!
Me an MAS bioth have the LG Prada and agree its a fucking gash phone so im guessing he wont be wanting another touch screen

the k800i is a awesome phone and i would of fort it wud be quite cheap now with the k850i coming out. the only problem iv had with my k800i is that when you take a picture it goes back to the main screen and dosnt save the picture, apparently it needs a software update but only found out from a friend the other day that everything gets wiped when you apply this update from your computer. so have to back everything up, thank god i didnt do this straight away like sony told me to do!!

For technology the Iphone my a million light years.
iPhone is loaded with old technology, a 2mpixel camera which has the same quality as the very first cameraphones... goot old noisy vga shots, no thanks.
It boasts having the best internet browser of any phone, shame is has a 5 year old connection speed similar to that of 56k, making it useless unless your in a wifi zone :err:
No bluetooth file transfers or bluetooth modem (although with the connection speed why would you bother using it as a modem :err:)
Apple have acctually fucked up the first release of the iPhone. Wait till next year when they sort out its massive short coming & release a phone capable of at least performing basic 3rd generation phone tasks. Then mess about with a fancy touch screen & an inbuilt 'ipod'
What a big fat apple gimic :err:
Chris
8th November 2007, 10:51
K800i is a great phone... was devastated when I lost mine!
Downgraded to the K750i (which was also very good) until my contract neared an end.
Now I have a K810i which is also a great phone.
So I would say anything in the Sony Ericsson 'K' family........ I don't think the K850i will be available on PAYG yet.
