New phone

My contract is soon to run out and I'll be after a new phone.
At the minute I get 500txt and 200mins on a 12month with 02 which are fine to be honest although I'll try and squeeze a few extra out of em if their gonna "retain my custom".

What I really what to know is what are the best phones out there at the minute? I have a SE K810i at the minute which I'm a big fan of as I am most SE phones so the natural upgrade for me is the K850i but I'm just putting it out there what would be your recommendations?

I here the LG Viewty is a excellent phone which I find hard to believe if the LG chocolate my Mrs has go is anything to go by.

Also the N95 looks nice (if a little on the large side) but didn't they have an issue with the battery power?

So what do you reckon?

Thanks,

Pete.
I'll get me coat!

    K850i cybershot is a good phone, its being replaced shortly by the snappily named c902 which has a few tweaks on but isn't that much better in overall spec's, so you should be able to get this out of them for free.

    N95 is a great phone & has lots of great features/apps available but camera isn't as good as the K800i I used to have in my opinion and battery life isn't brilliant. Make sure you get the software updated to the latest version which improves the stability, battery life and other stuff as well as adding support for the new N-Gage platform which looks promising.

    Viewty looks nice in terms of spec's but I'm not convinced about the touchscreen interface and reliability from previous LG efforts.

    Guess it depends on what you want, K850i is excellent camera phone, N95 is very versatile but is bigger. I miss my K800i whenever I use the camera on my N95 so if its a key feature for you get the K850i....

    My wife got a Viewty on the weekend and it's very good, I got a Samsung Soul the same time, and in my opinion it's better.........
