Which Vodafone phone for web browsing?

Master Skooter · 28 Jul 2009 at 23:05

I've got an old LG Viewty, my (Vodafone) contract finished last month & I'm looking for a new phone.

Really like the Omnia HD, but don't want to move to Orange as the signal in my house is poor.

I'm only using my phone for calls and texts - but would really like to start using a phone for web browsing.

Are there any Vodafone mobiles that offer a good web browsing experience?

Apologies for randomness, but I don't really keep up on phones or mobile technology.

Also a half decent camera would be a bonus.

Cheers

HTC Magic?

How long has that one been out?

Are there any newer models due out on Vodafone in the near future?

Off on holiday tomorrow and really need to get a phone today (currently using my old K750 after my Viewty battery died!)

Shame Vodafone doesn't have any of the new stuff.

Is the Magic a better phone than the N97?

Anything else on Vodafone worth looking at?

Off to town this afternoon, so any prompt replies much appriciated

I'd defiantly get the HTC Magic

HTC Touch Pro 2, Nokia N97 and Nokia 5800 also worth a look.

Magic for web browsing without a doubt.

Nothing else comes close on Voda.

definitelly the HTC magic, get it rooted with a hero rom and youll love it, multitouch support aswell once rooted, good browsing speeds good app choice in the android market.

Or (like I did) get a sim only deal on vodafone and buy a sim free touch diamond 2 (which I am loving).

Unless the Touch Pro 2 is on Voda, if that's anything like my HD (most likely), it will be better than the Magic.
