my contract expires in june, so i'll be due for an upgrade and a new phone. thing is, i dont really keep up to date with phone technology, as far as i know the k750i and nokia 3310 are still an outstanding phone (well, maybe not the 3310)

any good phones about? or that will come out? not a big fan of samsung's slow interface and low quality camera.
in the next post you will find my experience with previous phones

    3310 - simple but bad memory and battery
    k750i - fast easy to use, decent camera, relatively small/slim, good enough flash
    k810i - buttons were horrible, felt big, camera was not that much better and a bit slower than k750i
    nokia 6300 - slim, easy, bad camera
    samsung f490 - smart, nice big screen, touchscreen ok, but slow camera and slow responsiveness
    samsung "soul" (one with the "magic" thing) - nice phone, except i don't like the magic bit of it, and again its a pretty slow phone to use. camera ok but not exceptional.

    thats my phone history, im happy enough with the soul phone but wouldn't mind an upgrade still.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Nokia E71 is probably the best phone I have ever had - not expensive either.

    thanks. what about some of the newer phones they'd offer as part of the upgrade?

    Depending on your network, i dont know what phones you could get. But i've had a quick look through the o2 website. (I only picked the bar phones)

    The Sony Ericsson C902, which is the thinner version of the K850.
    Or
    Samsung would be "Samsung S7220 Ultra b" Also called Samsung Lucido
    or
    Nokia 6220 classic
