What phone?

Hi

Am looking for a new phone. I have had a Nokia N73 which I didn't get on with, for all its functionality it was annoyingly very slow, even after downloading the accelerator. Anyway, if anybody can suggect a good phone (not Samsung) then suggestions gratefully received. I liked the look of the Sony Ericsson W850i, but am not sure. I don't like the Motorola Razr's either. As you can see am a bit particular. I am a bif texter and am using Vodafone contract, so I need to be able to just transfer my sim across.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

If you can wait for the new Sony Ericsson K850i, its worth it.

Re: What phone?

nokia n80 and n95 are both cracking phones not too dissimilar than the N73 so would be an simple transition

Re: What phone?

Would the N80 and N95 have similar issues though? The N73 was so god damn annoying with its speed, plus it would randomly turn itself off mid text/call etc. Have been a little turned off by the N series.

Re: What phone?

i've just swapped my N80 for an N95 and I can't say that the speed is noticable.

You'd have to try them out though, i guess its all about personal preference
