And another...replacement for iPhone thread

Hi guys,
I'm also looking for a replacement for my iphone, don't mind continuing to pay around £35 a month, for that though I'd still like internet etc (assuming the handset I go for can make use of it). I've been looking at the Sony Satio - has anyone used this yet? What's it like in comparison to my trusty iPhone 3G?

It's available on orange for £30 a month including 600 minutes Anytime Any network + Unlimited minutes Anytime Landline, 500 texts and unlimited internet.

I have to admit the camera is tempting as I've not been happy with the quality of my iphones.

Is there anything else I should be considering?

Re: And another...replacement for iPhone thread

Why are you changing your iPhone? What doesn't it do that you need it to? Thinking of this will help you decide which phone to replace it with.

Think also about what the iPhone does do that you use often or may miss if you didn't have it?

Re: And another...replacement for iPhone thread

Changing it due to upgraditis - also, I've dropped it as well which necessitated replacing the screen. That's fine but now it doesn't turn off when you put it to your ear so I'm forever pressing mute with my cheek. Other than that I do like it but I'd prefer something with a better camera for when I'm out on my bike. I'd also still like to be able to access the internet. Apps are great so the ability to add them would be good (I know nothing comes close to the app store but hey ho).

If it wasn't for the sensor not working I'd probably wait for the next Apple product - the 3GS isn't enough of an upgrade really to tie myself into another contract, especially with the handset price/

So, ideally,

Good camera
Internet
GPS would be handy (but I don't want to have to pay, this may sway me to an android phone I guess for Google turn-by-turn)
Not fussed about it being touch screen but a good screen would be nice.

edit: just seen the HTC HD2 - looks amazing but obviously, being a Mac person I'm a little put off by Windows Mobile. Will it play nice with my Mac?
