Having a nightmare with o2 atm.
The x1 I asked for as a replacement to my messed up c902
delivery has been push back another 2 weeks at least..
So,
Options are..
c905
lg renoir
samsung pixon
Samsung Toco
any o2 nokia except n96

Xda Serra
Xda Ignito

Any help appreciated.. pros and cons please

Mainly used for calls text and music.. although a good camera would be nice

Would recommend the Pixon - great touchscreen, superb results from camera, and got 8gb microsd card for extra £12. No wi fi though and had problems with incoming texts showing numbers instead of names, although have sorted that now. Bought fom Beepy Mobile for £30 a month (£70 instant cashback and £40 quidco) for 700 mins and unlimited texts on TMobile.

ta andy..
Poss didnt make too clear in first post, I am on a contract already.. as my phone has defected I can choose another, but only whats available on o2.

Pixon is so will look into that.
What was the message error you had, how did you remedy?

C905! if its free.
Would have picked the N96, but thats not available

ta berry..
yup these are all free

I was in the same boat as the OP with the rubbish C902 and I am glad I waited for the X1 so far its the best phone I have owned. Its also leagues ahead of my Nokia N95 which is similar to the N96.

IMO you should wait, the X1 is an awesome phone. My thoughts on the X1 here:

I'd wait for the X1, it's the best phone on that list by a long shot! It's only two weeks, not the end of the world!

Noooo thats the problem Ive had with my c902..!
Maybe wait then.. Its just.. will i ever use the x1 as it should.. I think im just being greedy!

It depends, the X1 is only brilliant if you're prepared to put the effort in. If you're prepared to spend hours trawling XDA Developers and similar sites then it's awesome! Otherwise it's on the lower side of average, WM6.1 can either be brilliant or suck completely.
