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!

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.

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.

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 ing fantastic!
