It all depends on what you want out of it. I've got an N73 and I use Tom Tom with it, so it's 2-in-1, sat nav and phone. I have a problem whereby the mic sometimes doesn't work when you call someone/someone calls you and there's no updated firmware so that's a bit annoying as I have to turn the phone off and on to fix the problem, but other than that it's a brilliant phone, with an excellent 3.2MP camera.

they gave me a 6500 slide with

mix & match 1100
300 3 to 3 mins
5000 skype mins
10000 msn messages
free voicemail
free 3 emails

but 6500 slide does not have skype so mins a waste....

so need your advice

ps. battery on 6500 crap

gaahmad

Yeh I've heard the battery's rubbish on the 6500. I usually charge my N73 every couple of days, depends on how much I use it though. If you want skype, then I guess you can rule out the 6500 then, if as you say it doesn't support it. So you're down to 3 phones............!

what's a refurb then?

gaahmad

It's a phone that someone's bought and then returned within 14 days as they didn't want it. So companies can't sell them as "new" phones anymore so they sell them as refurbished phones. I've bought loads of these and they've always looked like a brand new phone, although it won't come in it's original box and "may" have some accessories missing, although I've personally never had any missing.

so n73 then?

does it cost to use tom tom?

Spikey_2

or................. new 6500 slide then cheap skype mobile from ebay?

gaahmad

No, it doesn't cost to use tomtom, but you have to buy a GPS receiver, which costs about £25-£30 to pick up the GPS signal, it connects to the phone via bluetooth. My phone came with tomtom pre-installed on it.

That's an even better option is you don't need the sat nav.
