Which phone shall I get

I have just received a voucher for £499 to use in a link store to get any mobile I want. I am thinking of getting a p900, but am wondering are there any new phones coming out in the next three months that will be better than a p900?

Cheers

That depends what you want it for, I looked at the P900 and it is a monster which I just hated almost immediately!

I don't know what the P900 has feature wise. My recommendation would be a Motorola V500 or Network equivalent. Battery life seems superb and its reception has impressed me a great deal. The camera feature is good fun and easy to use.

I used to have a p800 and had a 7650 before that, so size doesn't concern me. The phone I will get from the link will be sim free.

XDA II if size doesnt concern you. So much more powerful than a P900.

I have used a 7650 and it bugged me! Actually it wasnt just the size, it just didnt feel solid, it didnt make me feel confident that the silly keypad thing wasnt just going to snap off!

what about the sharp gx30 with the cool cool mega pixel cam?

The s700 looks great.
I now have a bit pf a problem. The Link do not have any p900's in stock in all the branches near me (wWst End and Harrow). They have also said that the ofline price is £649, and they will not price match as I have a voucher. Are any other new phones coming out any time in the next 3 months?

What about the new Sendo (if it ever comes out) or the NeoNode?

Or like someones already mentioned theres the XDA II from O2.

Or Samsung D410, Sharp TM1000, Nokia 6230, Handsprint Treo 600... depends what you're looking for in a phone really.

Plenty of phones about but it sounds like you want a smartphone.

P900 is the best out there as one of those. If you want primarily pda functionality and then a phone, the XDA2 is the one to go for. I have both and both are awesome.
