mobile phone woes

[TUG]

Im in dire need of a new mobile, and i was looking at the tocco lite but seems they wont be anygood to me.
I want an iphone but cant find one cheap enough. I've had a bumble around but i'm unsure, seeing as we have residents here who have had or lost... them i'd ask, is it worth it?

Worth every penny!

Nokia 5800 - I've had mine for a while now and it does everything - satnav, music, videos, web browser (i use Opera), plus i can call and text on it!

As mentioned above, 5800s are a good budget bet, cheap and whilst they are not as slick as an iPhone, they are every bit it's equal in terms of functionality and only really fall down on games. Plus being an older phone it's less likely to be a contract swindle.

You can get some highly specced HTCs for chump change too, we sold a Touch HD with a rather slick custom 6.5 rom on it for a measly 100 quid a few weeks ago.

The Toshiba TG01 is cheap as chips for the spec, but don't be tempted till someone manages to get a bootloader running on it, even with the latest official firmware it's still only any use as a PMP with a net connection.

Cheap N97s are often worth a go too, Nokia have done a recall of mildly defective camera covers that scar the lens over time, some of them also have very weak GPS reception. Find an N97 with both, take it to your local Nokia service centre clearly explaining both issues and you'll generally get a replacement handset in return a week or two later. Keep in mind it'll have the same IMEI as the handset you gave in though, if it's associated with a disputed contract it'll still get barred eitherway.

Sugartits, I'll buy 10 off you, you convinced me that much

Get an iPhone OP, you'll only sit there wishing you had one otherwise.

[Seb]

It's what I use at the moment and mines been good as gold, mind you mine hasn't had the lens scratch issue either so I've certainly been lucky with it. I restart it once a week or so to keep things running speedy but crashes have been super rare for me (Although it was rather prone to screen freezes when answering calls with the original release firmware).

Your right about the iPhone being leagues ahead when it comes to usability though. If Apple came out with one that copied the N97's ergonomics I'd snap it up in the blink of an eye

The reason i want an iphone is down to the people who know how to use them propperly dont complain about them in my experiance that and i regret not buying Chris's off here a while back.
I've had loads of phones and they've always been shit, infact i want to go to the bitch that sold me my W995 and hit her with it repeatedly untill she bleeds from her skull when she promised me it wouldnt fail when from day fucking 1 it did!
