New mobile phone, ****ers

cleanbluesky · 22-09-2008, 17:07

I'm due an upgrade but other than the iPhone (which is prohibitively expensive, I'd rather get a normal phone then perhaps a touch) and maybe an Omnia which doesn't seem to be out yet - I don't know what to choose. I created this thread so that you, the man on the street, can tell me what to buy...

DO IT

HTC Touch HD, sure it's not actually out yet, but it's the size of the iphone, with a higher res screen, and a better camera. Failing that if you really need a qwerty keyboard with your phone, Sony Xperia X1.
Personally I'd get the iphone anyway.

Must it be touchscreen CBS? What I mean to say is, do you NEED an interface you can touch? IS THIS YOUR MOTIVATION?

That motivation thing borders on witty, if only iCraig were around.

I want a touch so that I can read eBooks on the train, other than that I just want a phone. If its an iPhone equivalent I might just get the phone rather than phone+touch.

It's literally cheaper to get a phone and a touch.

Get a normal phone that does nothing more than receive and make calls and get yourself a library ticket, then spend the 300 quid you've saved on lager and crackwhores.

WIN.

300 buys a lotta crackwhore, unfortunately it buys one big fat one rather than lots of svelte ones.

I don't think anyone makes a simple phone anymore. I think I'd like a quick and simple one that was small, but they're all ****ers handsets that have functions I don't need.
