A Question About Mobiles

[Ray. 217]

I've got a basic Nokia phone, one that I can make calls on, play games and that's about it. I really want to and need to get a modern phone with a camera, the internet etc...Can anyone recommend a good model? I'm currently got the phone as pay as you go and my service provider is Virgin.

Heavy and low battery life.

Battery life on the iphone isnt the best but it depends what you doing with it. If you using the internet alot on it and playing music at the same time it will not last as long.

Heavy? I don't think so but I agree with the latter. Just have to remember to charge the battery daily.

OK, as I work full time and pretty much leave home at 7 every morning I want something where I can log on to buy tickets for Chelsea Games, particularly if I know the tickets are going to sell out fast. Also want a decent camera. Good to be able to listen to music too. I guess the Iphone is so expensive as they are new and are the 'must haves' at the moment. Do you think if I wait a while they'll come down in price, although saying that I'd quite like to be able to take pictures next week at Stamford Bridge. Decisions, decisions....

I'm buying the 5800, it's a touch screen phone so if you've never had an updated phone it might be difficult to get used to.

I have used a Blackberry and Blackjack and compared to that its a bit heavy I mean to say Cumbersome.....if thats the right word.

[Ray. 217]

Thanks everyone, will look into some of these and weigh up the pros and cons. It's my birthday in a couple of weeks time, who knows what i'll get...

iPhone 3G's battery can be charged while being synced to a pc, btw. So you can download apps & songs and charge the battery at the same time.

[Ray. 217]

OK in the end I got another Nokia - 5530 - Express Music, which i'm happy with. I think the model is quite new. It's a touchscreen phone which i'm finding quite easy to use.

[Kez 2,727]

Similar to the phone i'm getting, 5800, touchscreen is easy to get used to imo

I have a Blackberry Pearl on Orange contract. Fantastic for work and internet. Actually it's ridiculous how addicted I am to it! I'm £30 a month for 500mins, 500 texts and unlimited internet. I hardly use the texts as Blackberry has something called "pin" which is an instant messaging thingy for blackberry uses, so you can message other blackberry uses for free and still have your text allowance on top of it. All my mates are on Blackberry, so its cheap for us.

It also puts an icon on your phone everytime you get an msn, facebook or pin message or email. It also charges either with a charger or via your pc, very handy.
