COR, recommend me a phone!

Hey guys, my crappy cell phone finally died on me and I really want to get a nice smartphone this time.

I've been looking into several Nokia N-Series phones like the N81, N86, N96, and the N95. I really like the design on those and they have pretty much all the features I would like like Wi-Fi, GPS, and big storage capacity. The camera isn't really that important for me, as I already have one

Apart from these, which ones do you recommend? Have you used one of the models I've mentioned? What can you tell me from those Nokia models from experience?

Thanks!

iphone

Oh, and I forgot to mention I don't want an iPhone. I already have a 160GB iPod so I really have no use for it.

Yes you do. Sell ipod, use money to buy iphone which kills 2 birds with one stone.

ps- don't get the iphone.

Anything but an iphone

But seriously now, i've dealt with the n96 and n95 8GB and even though the N95 is the older model I would go with that one. The N96 just feels like it would fall apart if something really hard,...like a leaf falling from a tree would hit it. The N81 feels a bit to cheap as well, because of its design some of the buttons are a bit hard to press, which at least to me is a huge disadvantage.

Out of the ones you mentioned i would go for the N95 8GB, but if you dont have your heart set on an N series phone, you should take a look at the E series devices. Games may run a bit slower tnan on N series phone that have a special graphics chip in them but everything else works much better. I use an E71 and i coundt be happier with it.

Or you could buy something cheap now, and wait until the N97 comes out in a couple of months time. That should be a great device.

iphone really is brutal.

id go with a crackberry.

sony ericsson c902

I would love to say Google's phone because of its open source background. The restrictions on third party applications really makes the iphone limp to me. But the Google phone doesn't have the same amount of apps really. And the second revision is coming out anytime I hear.

Iphone is a complete money gouge, $39.99 for like what 450 minutes with rollover...$20 for unlimited text, $30 mandatory data plan, like $5-10 insurance. Then go buy a bunch of applications and suck off Apple some more.

+1 on the N96 being a POS, N95 is much better.

I vote for Sony C905 or Xperia X1, or the LG Secret or LG Renoir

Thanks, this is really helpful. As of now, I've really got my heart set on a Nokia, lol. Would love the G1 as well, but it's not available here. Since all of these are pricey phones I really want to evaluate each one as much as possible before finally making up my mind. I think the N97 is already available, no? That one is just fucking fantastic!

Everyone slates iPhone.

Buy one, you won't regret it.

Yes they aint open source, but they have applications gallore.

iPhone's main points of interest:

- More powerful processor than a PSP.

- Most advanced touchscreen device on the planet.

- Smooth as sex to the touch.

The bad:

- Shit camera

- Hate from people who think Nokia still rules the roost.

I have the Blackberry Storm and i have to say i love it. When it came out it really was a POS. I was just about to throw it against the way. Now it is alot better. Alot better, but not perfect. I'm sure RIM will get it right soon though.

Blackberry Curve suits me fine.

Samsung Innov8 is pretty sweet.

lol with the "more powerful than a PSP" line you sound like an Apple marketing guy. Cut the bullshit and talk about real shit. The cpu in the iPhone is the almost same speed as the HTC Touch Pro, Xperia X1, and a few others. 620Mhz vs 528Mhz.

The applications thing is a crock of shit too. They may have 50 million apps, but a good amount of them are pointless. Most of the apps on the G1 aren't. Same with the Windows Mobile phones.

I say get the G2 as it is coming out this year, but since you are looking to get one now, the HTC Touch Pro, Xperia X1, LG Renoir, Meizu M8, or something of those types.

Slick interface... big screen.... and that's about all the plus points for the phone imo.

Big screen, crap resolution.

Loads of apps, most of which are pointless self-masturbatory things that just 'show off' the acellerometer and such, serving no functional purpose.

If I had to pick a phone of similar dimensions, Touch HD every time.

The iPhone is great for the average punter though, which is why it is successful (along with the Apple brand).

lol you pretty much said what I just said.

iPhone cause its one of the cheapest smartphones and u can hack the hell out of it...and never have to buy an app if u have half a brain and read a bit to install proper software.

palm pre

Nokia 5120

Thanks for the recommendations guys, I'll definitely look into those.

And holy shit, the N97 is absolutely gorgeous in every aspect. I might just have to wait til that one comes out
