Mobile phone - which one??

[Octopus]

My trusty Nokia N8 is playing up and today has died and won't restart so maybe its time to get a new one. I don't want an Iphone as I think they are a rip off.

I use it for

calls
texts
accessing 4 email accounts
calender (sync'ed with Outlook)
taking pictures
maps
accessing the internet

I'm guessing most smart phones do this but anyone got helpful suggestions please?

Thanks

I have a HTC desire, curtesy of the company, and the bloody thing ties me in knots. I am slowly (very) getting to grips with it, it does everything, and i bet somewhere there is a make a brew app. The battery life is ---- though.

I have a Nokia X6 of my own, and to be fair, Nokias are easy to use, i would get another.

Cheers..........Howard

Who is your contract with and what do you get for £27?

O2... Think it's 200 mins and 200 texts.. But with. Apps such as what's app messenger, Skype, use of face time and the trusty landline this never goes over.!!

I always used to get Nokias until recently - they don't seem to have done too well with their smartphones.
I'd go for a Samsung smartphone personally - in fact I've got the Galaxy mini. It does everything I want it to (call, text, email, interweb) and more, and my contract is only about £15 a month.
The downside is the battery life is really unpredictable - you have to charge it most days, then sometimes for some reason it lasts for ages, although all smartphones have poor battery life.
Being my first smartphone, and being a bit of a worrier, I sometimes wonder what would happen if I were to be suddenly struck blind and need to call an ambulance; with the old phones with keys you know how to unlock it and can feel the keys, whereas with a smartphone you have to swipe your finger across the screen, then it's a touch screen.

A good place to start would be to work out how much you use your phone (calls, texts, data), determine which network offer the best coverage in your area, choose a contract from them, and see what handset you can get.

There's no point paying over the odds for a contract which you don't need, likewise taking out a cheap contract and going over your allocation every month, which again you'll end up paying a fortune for.

I have the iPhone 4s, had it since feb and its without a doubt the best phone I've ever had. Had the Samsung galaxy s before and the battery was the worst..
