Best phones around at the minute?

lexilex

I can upgrade from Thursday, and am trying to work out what phone I would like before Orange and Phones 4 U start ringing and trying to get me to accept some rubbish mobile.

Phones 4 U were trying to tempt me with the Blackberry Curve, am I right in thinking this is pretty old now and there is a new one coming out soon?

At the minute I've got a Nokia 5800 and after a few problems would like to get away from Nokia.

What mobiles should I be looking at? I really don't want to end up with a phone and realise it is completely out of date.

Heard a lot about the HTC Desire, any others I should make a note of?

I really aren't up on phones at all, the only time I take any notice is when it is upgrade time...

Thanks

If you're looking at a smartphone then make sure your new tariff includes "data" when you upgrade.

The best smartphones on the market at the mo are (in no particular order)

HTC Desire
Apple iPhone 4
Samsung Galaxy

hi i also have the nokia 5800 and it awful!! Im due for a new phone in the new year- i think apple i phones are the way to go but obviously depends if you can get a good package x

Thanks... stupid technophobe question coming up... is data just internet? I am making sure I have internet included in my package this time anyway if it is.

I do like the idea of an Iphone but was put off by the problems they were having with them a few weeks back? Have these been completely sorted?

Anyone know anything about this new Blackberry or have I completely imagined it

Be careful with the i phone,an issue not widely reported,but it is when googled. An issue of contacts being lost whilst trying to back up.
A friend of mine came to the end of his contract and found the only way to back up his contacts was to sync them with i tunes.
He thought they had backed up,but in reality he lost the lot.

i would not recommend the iphone.

HTC uses Android a far better operating system many of the apps are free as well.

I've had a HTC Desire since launch and I've been extremely happy with it.

Thanks, totally put off the IPhone now, and looking like a Blackberry is out too after some of the stuff I read last night... I thought they were pretty reliable!

Looking like the HTC Desire or Samsung Galaxy... both look pretty similar to me?

I was given a Blackberry Curve and it's not that great it doesn't even have 3G! It was alright for being free though! I really want a HTC Desire or Wildfire which is like the Desire but cheaper because of the screen/graphics display but still really good. Much better than the Nokia. I would recommend Android phones.. a mate has one and it's really great! I'm envious.. I want a new phone but can't afford it at the mo!

Another friend's bf has the Galaxy S and says it's brilliant as well. Iphone looks really good but has a few probs and is a lot of money. HTC phones do all the same stuff as the iphone can do but is much more affordable.

There are new phones apparently around the corner from HTC. Personally if you like the Desire, go for it, it is still a good phone and personally in the mobile world no matter when you buy a phone something else is just around the corner. In the 4/5months I've had the Desire, there has been the iPhone 4 and the Galaxy S!

Android is a really good operating system and with Froyo update to the latest version I'm very happy with it. The problem I had with the iPhone is it was just a bit expensive compared to the Desire.

All the reviews list in varying order the top 3 as . IPhone 4 HTC Desire Samsung Galaxy S .
At this level it is user choice as none are better than the other each having plus points or not .

HTC and Samsung lots of useful free apps on the Android Market .New Update to the OS also to roll out soon .
