N95 Vanilla few months old - free

N95 Black 8gb - £250

Both on three PAYG

Now this is from my sister. My current contract runs out in may, so I can cancel that and just go PAYG.

I just don't know which one to get.

I'm a cheap skate and would say free one! \o/

But then I don't have a clue what the differences are! Hoping you get better advice from others

Well for the price of the 8Gb one you'll get the free one and 15 saints home games.

The free one isn't worth the hassle, the n95 8gb is what the n95 should have been and is a MASSIVE improvement. The first's battery is just totally useless too. I probably wouldn't take it for free tbh. If you're looking at cheap symbian phones, look at the nokia E51 (under £200) and/or the 6120c (Around £100). Both are just as good, but miss out of GPS and the 6120c doesn't have wifi either. If you can live with out one or both they're perfect for you. The inbuilt GPS on the N95 isn't as good as an external reciever anyway either...

I've just bought a nokai E51 and its by far the best phone i've ever used, is VERY small (for a smartphone, much smaller than the N95 vollume/weight wise) has an excellent battery life. And is everything i want it to be

i picked up a replacement battery for a tenner on ebay. 3x the battery life, so around 5 days now. Saving of £240. WINZOR.

3x the battery life? You sure? That may only be an extra 10 minutes (

) but that would be cramming in more battery juice than i thought is actually physically possible at any battery density?

I won't look at other phones because both are through my sister and if I had the N95 8gb it'd be paid back on a monthly basis.

That's a good point, of if my mates there we both get in for free, WIN!

Yeah I do hope that fella in on the door again

Personally mate i'd go for the free one then if you decide to get the 8Gb one you can do at a later date but still have the cash now.

I don't know what it is but it's free and not £250 so take it.
