Just wondering if any of you have this phone and if its worth getting

JBVTR · 24th September 2009, 16:41

Havnt got one but i work for vodafone selling them their a good phone but theres a more compact version coming out in a month or so if you can hang on should nock the price of the standard one down a bit

Rotax73 · 24th September 2009, 16:46

Ah right, I went into a Vodafone store today and it just stuck out to me. I would but my contract is finishing like tomorrow and I need a phone

. Cheers for the advice though

A friend has just bought one, can't say i've had much of a go on it but i know that im not too keen on the sliding mechanism. I could imagine myself eventually becoming fed up with it or breaking it whilst steaming!

get an HTC hero, I just got one best phone EVER

Chris_Mcfc · 24th September 2009, 18:36

I bought the missus one, i liked the look of them myself.

It's always crashing, bad battery life. And the screen never looks good to me.. Good for texting though. Touch screen is slow. It just annoys me to use it and i love Nokia's.

Maybe a software update might sort it but it's on the newest one out

I'd try that Htc hero. I've got a Iphone 3gs. Best piece of kit i've probably had phone/technology wise...

Stay away from the Nokia N-Series, all are shit, keep crashing, battery life lasts a day or two at most, VERY VERY SLOW, i must of waited 5 mins for it to load up a text.. Worst things I have ever brought.. I had the N95 and loved it for 5 months till that broke, replaced it with the N96, and 5 months later thats worth nothing at all, the ON button has stopped working from the amount of times ive restarted it from crashing.. and finally last month brought a N97 after hearing they were all the rage, lasted about 15 days.. Enough said really.

Now ive got a £30 phone from tesco, Samsung C3050 or something with a 0.3megapixel camera.. and its the best phone i have ever owned to be honest

TRUE TRUE TRUE

I have N96 and its crap, been sent away twice and still shit, wanted to upgrade and the salesman said dont get the n97 just as bad.

Rotax73 · 24th September 2009, 21:31

Ah okay, cheers for the warning

...... I want the new iPhone but dont want the rediculous price

jimbo06 · 24th September 2009, 21:45

i wanted one of these until i realised o2 dont do it!

SaxoSam96 · 24th September 2009, 21:48

Go for the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD

The video is HD and its absolutely AMAZING

chinkostu · 25th September 2009, 08:22

N96 was horrible until recent firmware update, its a little bit more stable now and quicker. doesn't crash every two seconds either!

can't comment on the N97, my mate has one and likes it. just remember, anything software related can be fixed with firmware updates so if its not that annoying, it will be fixed.

although it should be fixed anyway, seeing as you're paying for it!

Graeme^p · 25th September 2009, 09:47

as said above the n97 mini is coming out next month and the normal n97 is being made discontuned

there not bad phones and defo more reliable than the n96 as we havnt had many calls about them in work

Fezz_vtr · 25th September 2009, 09:51

i got one the day it came out and its class, had the odd glitch till they upgraded the firmwear but not its class, pisses all over my mates i-phone and u dont look a goon when u get it out coz looks like any other touch screen phone when closed. battery life is great, mine goes 2 days between charges with average use and a fair bit of internet use. would recomend it to anyone!

Graeme^p · 25th September 2009, 09:54

pmsl at the comment about it "pissing" over the iphone

Woody91 · 25th September 2009, 13:18

ive got a htc diamond 2 and its awesome yes it can be a little slow on the occasion when trying to rush through menus or if youve got big fingers the screen might not be very good but other than that have never had a problem with it.

Ryyy · 25th September 2009, 22:49

I love my 6700.

Nokia Ownz Y'all.

Peace Oot.

From my experience with an N97 the touch screen is pretty shocking compared to the quality of the touch screen on my 3gs an being a typical nokia it has tonnes of pointless apps that either don’t work or will never get used.
