Which phone...? (update: my chosen phone is...)

Out of the ones you've mentioned it has to be the Nokia X6, good all round handset, feels pretty solid. The Vivaz is poor, it has a number of noted problems, steer clear, not sure about the Apollo, havent seen it. To be honest I'd fork out the £100 for the Desire, thats if they ever get any stock in

to be honest i'm more between galaxy s and iphone4 now

I wasnt overly impressed with the Galaxy S, I've had a mess about with it and it didnt feel as quick as the Desire, it feels cheaper too, nice screen though, I'd still go for the iPhone 4 despite all the bother with signal

i swapped my desire for a galaxy s its quicker than the desire ti has a better processor, i like the galaxy s it records hd videos as well and has a better battery as well but the desire is also good

i work in phone sales and i would say the deal you have been offered with orange is very good!
out of the handsets you have mentioned i would probably recommend the x6 as the most reliable and best one!

as for the desire/galaxy s/iphone discussion... we have sold well over 100 iphone4's and had none returned due to signal problems... its just something the media have blown out of proportion! desire is a lovely hanset really responsive and the screen is gorgeous... the galaxy s.. personally although it is a nice hanset and camera looks really good i think the menus look cheap and its a bit ofputting!

I think also if you get the desire a cover should be a must as the desire in bright sunlight is horrible

I think i'll end upi going for iphone to be honest, i have had my mind set on it and money put aside, and know a few people with one and haven't heard any problems except on tv!
was thinking about a blackberry bold but don't like the buttons!
the guy from vodafone that i spoke to today has a desire and he said he wish he'd waited till the iphone4 was out (but didn't want to sell that to me - he was trying to sell me others but in a nice way)

Is the Samsung Wave S8500 any good?

daindian

Its basically the same specs as the galaxy s but uses samusungs own bada os instead of android on the galaxy s

Of course...

18 month contract
300 mins
100 texts
unlimited internet
unlimited landline

As part of the retention those phones were offered for free. But the HTC Desire is £100/Samaung Galaxy is £200 - which I may be able to haggle down.

Just sorted my retention offer... the above contract for £20 a month with a Samsung Galaxy S for £49.99! Pleased with that.

I have a month to go on the contract and they told me it no longer matters what time you apply to upgrade. Last year (when I last had a retention offer) I was told to wait until contract expiry for the best offer - but this is no longer the case. Go for it with a month to go.
