hey all, seeing as most of you here own iphones, few samsungs and other related. I'm in need of some pointers towards my next phone.
I'm going into phones4u 2moz to see what they can offer me to buy me out of my contract and looking for a new phone etc.
I'll list some musts/ideally features for what I'm looking for or needing it for.

here goes:
*Would like to try out touch screens,
*Want something slim, stylish.
*Looking for a good camera that I can use at the moment, I.e at car shows or out at places. so good night time features?
*Lightweight preferably.
*High amount of gb space. I like to use it as a simple mp3 player when working use of headphones.
*Possibly upgrade ability.
*I don't really care about games as such, as I never use them for that its a 5minute thign with phones and games U play them at first then you go back to texting/calling as a normal phone should do.
*Texting has to be good too as I text more than call really.

The phones
Im into the pixon, as its stylish, i saw it in person yesterday as my mate now has it. I like it but it looks thicker than I thought it would be..
Also saw the iphone. I do love the iphone, but the camera puts me off way too much and the deals aren't really good tbh. For me anyways,..
I think the tocco, is now getting out of date and the omnia too?
With the N96 im no too sure with, I see it as a geeks phone, I use to be Nokia fan all the way, but Something about the N series is that they look bulky and complicated. But no sure on it. This is just my opinions...

Any help would be appreciated with places giving good deals and can buy me out of a contract with 6months to go left.
Or would you say best bet is to wait a few more months for the next gen phones to come out and see from there?

I went and got the Tocco today. So thanks. It was a decision between the Pixon and Tocco. And for me the Tocco came out tops for what I wanted. What sold it was the better stylish looks than the Pixon and the female who served me too! :P Who had one as well!
I'm liking it alot, but obviously it's too early to see/feel all the functions. texting was hard at first but I'm getting the jist of it. And quicker so its all good :)

NO dont get the tocco i had i for 1 day and sent it back, i now have the new G1 phone on T mobile, it is great and there is now stuff coming on it every day and its only £30 a month. OK it doesn't look as good as the iphone but with the slide out qwerty key pad it looks the nuts.

i got an LG Renoir. brilliant phone and brilliant camera. better than the iPhone by a mile

Didn't really have a proper look at the others. the G1 looks more like a PDA than a stylish phone. I do like the widgets etc same with the iphone.
I went away from the renoir I do like the style but again I know it's LG i have a great TV from them but I don't think they are fully upto par with Samsung/Apple/Nokia yet. But close though.
Unfortunately I have around 30misn play on the pixon, I was really really tempted with it. But I told them i;'ll go away for a while to think about it before I make a decision, thats whey they pester you with i'll bring the price down or offer this in or give u this because they dont want to lose u. But i had two mates with me starving like 3rd world countries wanting to get a KFC. lol
But I thought about going up int arriff or comprimising by spending more towards in cash for the pixon but to me I couldn't justify paying that for the little extras it offers me. I know everyoen is different with different tastes and needs. But I thought well, I have a really nice camera for photos anyway, and if in doubt i have a 5mp cam on the Toccos which arn't bad nowadays tbh. Things the pixon shouted at em were the handy shake view to side or vertical, the 8mp camera and the 16gb? size.
Then I was thinking I'm being greedy going from a u600, When 8gb is enough for a mp3 player, camera is good for normal time shots on the moment. And the looks are next to nothing along with the u600 to me. So im really upgrading from the u600.
Anyways, Thanks for the heads up peeps!

I would go iphone, but my mates have them now, my other mate has the pixon, and the rest seems to go with n series. So i'm being different. :)
