I've been using Nokia's for the last few years - I loved the 6310i, and the 6230 was ok. Whats the best phone to go for, now it's upgrade time and I might as well get it as I'm paying for it anyhow!
Any suggestions welcome, as I really know nothing about mobile phones

    Cool MP3 player
    Great Look

    Or maybe the K750i if ya dont like look of w800.

    Even if ya dont like w800 ya could always ebay it and get over £300 for it on ebay :)

    Sony Ericsson K750i: The Ultimate Multi-Function Phone


    by ANNALYN S. JUSAY

    Small on the outside, feature-packed on the inside. This, in a nutshell, is how we describe the BEST phone to grace our lucky hands this year – the Sony Ericsson K750i. SE’s latest baby heralds the advent of a new generation of multimedia phones which deliver optimum performance for both work and play while ensuring superior connectivity at all times.

    Sony Ericsson's new K750i is a triple threat: it's a multimedia powerhouse, it takes amazing pictures, and it boasts top-notch wireless connectivity. The compact candy bar-style cell phone not only has an impressive MP3 and video player as well as an FM radio, it also packs in a 2-megapixel camera, fully enabled Bluetooth, an infrared port, a 64MB Memory Stick Duo card upgradable to 2GB, slick animated menus, and excellent personalization options.

    As above

    W800i
    K750i
    Nokia N91 (january release ?)
    Sony Ericsson W550i comming soon
    Samsung D600 (a newer d500)

    W800i would be my choice though.

    I've been on the orange website - and the only out of stock phone for upgrades is the K750i - (they don't do the W800i for upgrades) - so I'll take myself into a shop and have a good look before deciding what to do.


    Thanks

  • I upgraded to the W800 last week (for free!!!! on O2)
    My boyfriend got the K750i ( he said i looked more of a mans phone)

    Only a couple of differences between them..#
    The walkman button...
    The camera shutter..
    The memory card. W800 = 512mb - k750 = 64mb.
    The earphones which come with the 800 - never heard anything like it! The bass i really good and no-one else can hear no matter how loud you have it. (i hate it on the train when you have to sit listening to the tinny noise of someone's walkman)

    However - i'm a nice girl and have swapped cards and earphones with him, so he's got the better deal i suppose.
