Well i get to send back my tocco ultra due to getting no reception on t-mobile. I think of it as a 2nd chance as, well i love the look of the tocco ultra, the fact it also has proper keys along with touchscreen. Although, within a day of use I have realised the battery is POOR (it went down to half within a few hours of not really intensive use and samsung dont seem to be ones for releasing firmware upgrades - which i am a fan of!)

So now Im stuck with having to find another phone on either Orange (preferred), O2 works ok and never tried voda but its supposed to be ok.

Need a GOOD camera, touch screen is cool...if it works well/easy to use, good firmware/updates and any other cool features such as GPS/google maps or whatever.

The nokia 5800 is tempting, pretty damn cheap and i know firmware is released for it but the camera isnt that good. The samsung i8510 is another contender but this is getting harder to get ahold of, samsung - lack of updates and apparently it has some issues with dust under the screen etc.

The n95 doesnt look for me - its old news, the n96 was a major flop too. Shame..i really liked the look of my tocco ultra too!
 
8500 works for me, love it, find the touch screen good to use and I've got big hands, the camera is more than fine and the battery life is way more than I expected, charging once every 5 days at the moment.

Nothing bad to report on the 8500 here

2nd thoughts after seeing some reviews from above companies phones4u has a deal here not too bad http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_contract_details.asp?ItemKey=242863&MPItemKey=270776

i can moan in store if it dies too
 
ok im havin trouble deciding where to order from

phones4u has extremely bad reviews

dialaphone and buymobilephones have hit and miss reviews

main concern is getting my cashback redemption which is really what im gunning for!
 
what kinda contract?

cost a month etc

customer service any good? i may try haggling them to match a dialaphone deal or sometin
 
I have just got an Apple iPhone 16Gb white on o2, very good signal, 3g mobile with wifi support and touchscreen, firmware is released via iTunes which is version 2.2 I believe (soon to be v 3.0 in june) overall 9/10
 
I'm not sure if its what you're looking for, but I have the Nokia 6288 and I think its great. I was a great price too when I got it at $300NZ (100 pounds approx.) It's probably alot less now.
