As i am due to renew contract with O2 i am looking at all my options. I really want to reduce my monthly outgoings for my mobile to as cheap as poss. £15-£20 a month but would like a touch screen mobile phone.
I have seen some good deals for both the above phones
Has anyone got one of these phones and give me some feedback?
Many thanks

    Have always liked Samsung phones but at present i've got the Nokia 5800. I really like this phone.
    PROS:
    Good screen and touch capable
    Ability to add contacts to screen for speed calling, texting, emailling, etc
    Handwriting recognition for texting, emails, etc
    Great for surfing web, emails,etc
    Most of all a brilliant MP3 player with great sounding speakers for such a small phone.
    You can add music from Nokia store, windows media player and a lot of other sources.
    Ability to add playlists, download podcasts, check via songs, artist or album.
    mine came with 8GB sd micro card and still not had time to fill up.
    Can use normal 3.5mm headphones with it, so whatever you like to use you'll be fine using them with this.
    Love using songs on the player as individual ringtones for friends and family, very easy to set up as opposed to other phones.
    Good video player and good for games.
    When texting you can use full or mini Qwerty keyboard, or handwriting software.

    CONS:
    Screen can get scratched fairly easy, so keep in case or buy screen protector from Ebay or similar.
    Sometimes the touch stylus can come out from side of phone when taking out of supplied case, so be careful and check its not fell on floor!
    Camera is ok but similar phones do have better resolution cameras.

    All in all i would say this is a 9.5 out of 10. Very happy indeed with it.
