What contract phone

[RS2MATRIX]

I havent got any specific 'needs', i just want to know which phone i should pick out of the above poll as offered to me by Vodafone. Pretty poor selection (6) but oh well,
Would like good camera for bike trips, good videos, occasional music listening, good apps and option for more apps.

I have the C902, due for a change in Septmeber. I quite like it, Good camera (so long as you don't use the zoom!), all the functions i want, decent memory(expandable), easy to use and fits nicely in my pocket. Looks fairly battered after several unexpected excursions out of my boilersuit pocket but still working fine, although i did need to buy a new keypad for it (£3 off ebay).

Cant comment on the others.

Out of that lot, probably the C902 or 5800, I'd be inclined to lean towards as C905 or N82 though, the C905 is just the nicer phone to have whilst the N82 mixes one of the very best smartphone cameras going along with a xenon flash, mature firmware and big selection of apps

Can only speak for the Tocco, it's not that much cop to be honest, the touch screen isnt that great but is ok I suppose, however after having a play around on my bro's iPhone I found the touch screen on that 10 times superior.

As an all rounder it's ok, but apps wise it's redundant.

By the sounds of things a 3G iPhone would probably do what you want, sans video, but the new model is out in 2 weeks, providing you are willing to pay the price one way or another.

My missus is looking for an upgrade but we just ordered her the 3g one instead, if you look at the features of the iphone 3gS theres not enough to justify £185 compared to £96 or free on a 24month contract.

It is a cracking piece of kit and yes even though it does not have a 5mp camera or good video recording etc.

How often would you use it?

I love the hone it is amazingly handy when out and about and if you get offmaps you can store other countries maps and then use them when your not on wifi and use the GPS.

browser is the best I have used on a mobile device, I can click links that I would have issues getting a mouse on with a netbook.

give it a go, usually O2 will allow you a 14 day cooling off period to change your mind about a phone and change it for something else.

went for the N 5800 as I have one

I originally wanted a 5800 but just couldn't seem to get hold of one from Vodafone, so opted for the Tocco. It was crap. As was the cap on data (500Mb, which they didn't bother mentioning until I got the documents), so sent the phone back and cancelled the contract (that's the short version of the story. I will never be a Voda customer again).

I ended up going for a contract with 3 and getting a Nokia E71 simple because it was the best of a bad lot. Great phone IMO, have been very impressed with it so far.

So, my vote is for none of those listed

As for the iPhone, I wouldn't touch one. Over priced and under spec-ed. Not a fan of the interface either,
