Which phone to go for on Tmobile upgrade

laulau1

Hi i'm due an upgrade and wondering which phone to go for. I quite fancy the Sony Satio, which Tmobile have quoted me £113 for on upgrade. I don't mind paying this as i get half price line rental, which i don't want to loose by taking out a new contract. What other phones around the same price are any good? I use internet on my phone quite a bit, as well as the camera, which is why i was looking at the Satio. Any advice would be appreciated thanks.

Wouldn't be my first choice:

The Satio is full of bugs! Not a good choice. The new BlackBerry 9700 Bold or the Google G2 are both worth a look.

they've just released an update for the handset, but the facebook function is still not fixed.

yeah must say, I am seriously tempted by the 9700. Upgrading from the Google G1.

there doesnt seem to be any problems with the satio on t-mobile, just stock.

t-mobile held back on releasing it due to software problems approx 4 weeks but as far as i believe all is well now.

few good look releases planned for Jan 2010 - Nokia x6 & Sony x10 for example but unsure of the cost.

woulds recommed you move to one of the new flext price plans if you have not already done so. lots of benefits including free internet - stars for existing customers at flext 35 2009. You will retain your half price line rental if you have the old "employee call version" and will retain the discount if you have the new "friends & relations version" if your friend still works with t-mobile.

I upgraded to a Nokia E71, which is really good for internet / email. The camera isn't too bad, but there are probably better camera phones out there.
