A lot of people do complain. I am not sure myself, and its based on LG Renoir review in particular from GSM Arena website.

PS: I am getting Renoir myself but I text very rarely, so not a big issue for me.

Amanda I had the iphone and x1 both touch screen - if your a fast texter on keypads then it will be hard to adjust to - trust me, however the x1 did come with qwerty slideout keyboard - so you had the best of both worlds. But like you said you text fast - so touch screen is out of the question.

The x1 was a superb phone - but i sold it as I just wanted a new phone lol
Great camera phones out right now is the se c905 or the innov8.

The innov8 does have a few problems apparently such as the dust appearing under the screen - but because I havent tried it I cant comment. But the c905 seems to be the best option right now for a lot of people. Great camera, decent music player, good for texting, no touch screen, decent software, looks sexy albeit a bit chunky, but browsing on the net is average - the iphone is the best for browsing in my opinion followed by the x1.

But yh the c905 kicks a$$ - im sure ull love it - some people have had problems with their earpiece but its only a minority if it does happen to you, youve got 12 month warranty anyways - if you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

The Samsung Innov8 (i8510) isn't available on O2.

To the OP - if you are a fast texter, it might help to know what mobile you use currently, since you'll be familiar with that texting system and keypad layout (for instance, I prefer to have a phone where the 0 key is space). An idea of what your current price plan is might also help.

i have a samsung g600
what are the blackberrys like?

randomtask_2

Blackberrys have quite a different user interface that aren't really for everyone. The keypad layout is either qwerty or suretype depending on the blackberry model you're looking at, which is a departure from T9 that you will have been using on the G600.

I wouldn't advise on a blackberry unless you want to have your emails pushed to your handset, which judging by your original post, is beyond the 'nice-to-have' email access and behind a decent camera.

Have to concur that the Sony Ericsson C905 is the most suited model for what you want and this is readily available on O2. It's a bit big and not as slim as other slide models, but has the features you want.

Im also due an o2 upgrade- but i want the Nokia 5800, not sure when theyre getting it though as i cant seem to find anything on the website?

windows mobile for texting are great with a touchscreen, applications now exist which give you a keypad the whole face of the screen not a stylus, the one major drawback windows mobile used to have

large fingers benefit from windows touchscreen & new keypad applications

as for Blackyberry I had several & the Storm is the one for texting, shame its exclusive to Voidafone
