Help picking ne phone please

Hi i have never had a phone costing more than £100 but now my sony ericsson S500i has died and i want a new phone and a decent one at that. I like the iphone but the price tag is too high for me. I have been looking around and i have come down to 3 phones. 1st BlackBerry Storm, 2nd LG KM900 Arena and 3rd Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. any info would be great.

Re: Help picking ne phone please

The Nokia 5800 has a lot of fans and a decent following. It's not my cup of tea personally, but it's done enough to win fans so must be doing something right

The LG Arena is pretty good too, considering the price it's available for. It's not in the same league as the iPhones of this world, but it's a good little phone that's for sure

The Blackberry... well... no thanks. It defeats the point of what Blackberrys are all about by losing a physical keyboard and implementing that odd hybrid touch screen, where you select something with a gentle touch and confirm something with a press of the entire screen. Odd. Blackberry are awesome at making messaging devices... they should stick to what they know best.
