Iphone or Blackberry or Nokia N97

rehabrebel

Looking for a replacement/upgrade phone-my Nokia N95 is looking very shabby!!

Currently on PAYG but would consider Pay Monthly.

Any ideas/input appreciated.

Depends on the way that you use the phone - Blackberry will only really be the ideal if you e-mail a lot, iPhone if you like the idea of the apps...I'm struggling to find a reason to get the Nokia.

I had both the BB and Iphone, I had to disconnect one contract and chose to keep the iPhone.

Like vicshippers said, bb is ideal for emailing and typing in general, and the iPhone is good for applications which is why i stuck with it. Im used to touch screen phones after have HTC's for years and now Documents to Go is available on the iPhone, i love it!

Why not go into a store and play about with them?

I guess a Nokia would be good if you are used to Nokia but tbh I have not had a Nokia since I was 17! Quite a long time ago!

Don't get a Blackberry, fast falling behind everything else. O2 now do the I-Phone on a £30 per month contract, it does the lot. Else go for a HTC phone with Windows mobile or Android operating systems. HTC phones are much faster on web browsing than I-Phones.

Steer well clear of the n97. I thought it'd be a safe bet after my n95 8gb but it really is appalling! Even the newest firmware update has done nothing to propel the phone into competition with the likes of the iphone (or the new HTC's or Samsungs, etc). It doesn't work, and if you do a quick Google or just check the Nokia forum you'll get an idea of just how bad the phone is.

None of them. Get the N900, like you I have the N95 (8GB though) and the only phone that comes close to it is the N900.

You will feel right at home with it.

I agree with rash... go for the N900 - its a great phone

why do people - yes you rash! - keeping bigging up a phone that hasn't even been released yet? For christs sake it's a Nokia for a start and has been delayed already probably due to bugs, maybe Nokia have learnt lessons from the N97 debacle but I doubt it somehow.

It maybe running a more useful operating system but it won't be until it's been on the high st for a while and had a chance to prove itself that it can be truly judged honestly instead of based on hearsay and YouTube videos.
