Ive read good reviews about that. Had my eye on the SPV e650 nice and compact

Would miss the touch screen alot though

Funnily enough I have to take my girlfriend to newport today so her phone can be fixed. Apparently the Carphone warehouse has an in house engineer who will get it done that day. But I forgot to mention her phone is an Pink LG chocolate and is crap. Dont buy that. I have the k800i at the mo but im bored of it, I want the 5mp nokia (i dont know the model number).

don't go near the carphone warehouse repair centres.
They took my phone two months ago (fairly new one) with a smashed screen.
Told me they cant do it the same day as they need to order a new part and would take 14 days. So i signed for 14 days....
2 weeks later i phoned and they said they couldn't do it so they sent it off to there repair centre. further 4 weeks went by and i called.. "the store only sent it to be repaired this morning" so it will take a further 3 weeks......

Going to make sure i get the repair for free and 2 month refund on my contract!!!

Its stupid! still not got it back!!

Nokia 3310!

Nah seriously, the old phones are by far the best! Never broke, the amount of times iv ended up back on my 3310 cos my new phones have broke. Currently got a Motarola V3xx and no problems so far, tis a good stylish phone, but would like to upgrade to the 5mp Nokia too

BUT it will break after 2 days

Hehe some good options ive been given. Im gonna test drive a new Nokia N95 for a week to see what I think, if not its back to the M3100, SPV, or even a drastic move to O2 for the XDA Orbit

Thanks guys!!

nokia 8800 or 8800 scirocco, a phone not a computer

chrisash32 · Post by **chrisash32** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 11:40 pm

the first ROM that came out with the Exec was a mess, verry buggy etc etc, then there was an improvement on the 2nd.

Then found a custom one on the internet, made loads of difference to the running of the phone, have used the custom one since!

samsung E900

best phone i have ever had! not keen on Sony Ericsson as i've had 2, the J5 and the K700, both weird and problematic! although i do quite like the SE W880i.
