That's good then

I don't know anything about it besides the basics so good to hear the quality's meant to be better!

Yeah the OS on that is strange, its built on the back of something strange and programed in flash if my memory serves me right. Seems nice, but i just love the versatility of smartphones

Apart from when i went made and bought the bloody HTC universal, my smartphone history has been very pocketable - its the first thing i look for!

For small brilliance: 6120 classic, or E51 both superb and the smallest smartphones on the market.

Hope the touch does you well, i just know it would do my head in

Looks very nice though!

Hmmmmmmmmmm, thats all I have to say about the Viewty.

My opinion my be shadowed by the use of Windows Mobile units for so long but this phone seems a bit, well, clunky and not very satisfying. That said I can see it being very good for someone who wants a good camera phone but the email isn't very good and the internet browseing is a bit shakey and these are things that bother me most. I'll see how it syncroises with Outlook tonight but if that sucks then its going back and I'll getting a Touch Dual.

My O2 contract ran out this month. I was charged £35 this monh for 500mins/500 texts, for which I was paying £19.50.

I called them today to see what deal they can do as I would like to keep my k800i. They offered me £15 for 200mins/500 texts or £20 for 400min/1,000 texts both on a month-to-month contract. Doesn't sound too bad so I've taken the £15 offer for now. They don't do R/O minutes now which is a shame.

What was the proverbial straw dude?

MB get the N95 8GB or at least try it, i think you'll be very impressed, i'd say get the n82 but you'd have to wiat since tis not really available right now...

Huddy, IMHO i don't think thats that great if your keeping your phone... As stated above i pushed and used the i'm not get a subsidised phone off you guys line, managed £5 per month for 340 texts or 170 minutes or mixture of the two; 1 min = 2 texts etc...

For £12.5 i could have got 900 texts or 450 mins or mixture of the two.

And finally for 16.25 i could get 1800 tetxs or 900 mins or a mix per month.

Thats with flext so it generally works out slightly worse than fixed tarriffs, but i get more flexibility. If you push i can see why you can get what you've got for £15 for £10 a month.... I'm not about the value of o2's tarriffs anymore i remember when i was with them for £10 a month a few years back with 200 mins and 500 texts or something like that i'm sure! (albeit i think the mins may have been off peak).

To be honest it was just clunky and totally un-modable, the camera wasn't all that great out of the box either despite being 5mp :/

It picked up my email but it wasn't very readable and I know that if I go with the Dual I will definately be able to read emails and integrate with Outlook without any issues.

I will look at the N95 Alex but I don't need a media phone really and have hardly used any of the functions on the m3100, I'm really for a PDA style phone which is also compact and bijou.

N95 maybe a media phone but its also a very capable smartphone, the only reason its got all the media features is to attract a larger market (i don't really like them, the 5mp camera isn't my thing). But what else it does is fabulous. Its small(er than most), has wi-fi and 3g, and a some pretty decent software + OS to boot. Yes its got GPS but i dont really see that as a selling point again myself, but its handy to have maybe sometimes... I think you'll be suprised by the N95 8Gb the only reason i mention the 8GB (ie probably trying to be a media phone) is becuase they've totally updated the N95, its got a half decent battery life, its MUCH quicker, and its built a lot better. Otherwise look at the E51/N82 reviews...
