Dreaded Mobile Phones - Page 5

I'm still considering the K850i but T-Mobile don't have a released date for it yet

Nokia has thrown the 6500 slide into the mix which looks interesting but still is coming "October".

Checking the website today it seems that the LG Viewty is on the way and this does look very tempting.

The Viewty looks appealing but I think its more of a photo/ video phone than a PDA phone which is really what I need.

I think its either going to be the Touch Slide or the TYTN II for me, the Slide is crippled a bit because of the WiFi, though that hasn't be confirmed yet it seems to be pretty firm that it won't have it.

In actually fact I don't use WiFi THAT much it just seems a very odd thing to be without :/

I'm not really after a PDA myself to be honest so the viewty seems very good. Since I've been using the Nokia 6021 Burble gave me having a camera will be good

I've used a prada which I think is an earlier version of the u990 and thought it was ok but didn't like the UI that much. I think it's been vastly improved on with the U990, just need to check the size of the thing as I'm after a small-ish phone.

Daz is very happy with his touch.

The killer for me with the Touch MK1 was 3G, if it had had that I would have gone for it. The Touch feels so much more like a phone than the m3100 which is a bit of a brick.

My contract is up in November, so I'll see whats about then

Touch Dual

Gains keyboard (and size, but not sure how much), gains 3G, loses WiFi.

Spot on with the Touch too, it feels (and works) like a phone, which is what I wanted.

I'm still tempted by the M700 - but that HTC Touch Dual is looking appealing.

I've often thought about buying a blackberry too, but just dont think I would use it to its full potential.

The BB pearl is very nice - it is tempting, it's just the lack of 3G and being able to install apps like TomTom that would put a lot of people off.

Bit of a bump for this one, I've just ordered the K850i and it should be with me a few days after the 15th if royal mail are back to work

Will give a mini-review when I get it
