I've ruled out an I-phone on the grounds of cost.

What else would people consider to be the best at the moment?

    Seriously though (aitchooo) - my pick would be Sony W995 because I want it (so it must be best).

    Sony Aspen was announced recently, very blackberry-ish.

    The E71 seems to get good reviews too.

    I'm not really a snob about them as some are but I've not been happy with mine.

    Rubbish camera, very poor battery life and memory have been by issues.
  • e71? my ex lodger had one, the keys fell off.

    my blackberry 8900 is a nice phone, but i dont get on with the trackball so its going in the summer to be replaced with a 9700, unless r.i.m replace it with something better
    things arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then ;)
    BH is my best mate too, its ok :)

    I trust BH even if he's from Manchester.. ;)

    You really need to be more specific about your usage of the device to get any useful responses.

    What's important to you in a phone? Good camera? Touch screen? Street cred? Surfing the internet etc.
  • I think the HTC HD2 is the best. saying that I've only had a liitle play with one in the shop. still waiting for my old contract to run out so I can get it.

    Won't turn down street cred but will hopefully get a package to cover internet use so speed and ease important. Would be nice if I could use it to listen to music as I've fallen out of love with my Ipod and be nice to have one unit to cover both.

    Not fussed about touch screen but if it's that I wouldn't hold it against it.
