Which mobile phone to buy ?
I am on T-Mobile and have just changed to a plan which includes Unlimited Internet.
I still use a very old phone Nokia 6210.
I want to upgrade my phone to use the basic multimedia & web features, nothing too sophisticated, to bring me into 21st century !
I have looked at some phones at Argos and picked out 4.
The last phone, Nokia 5230 with music downloads seems to have a different spec to the 3rd phone, the other Nokia 5230. Not sure if this is a listing mistake, as would think same phone model would have same spec.
It seems to have HSDPA internet capability, which I think is faster & GPRS/EDGE. Not sure how useful this is to have.
Out of these phones which do you suggest I buy ?
Do you suggest any other phone from the T-Mobile list of phones ?
