Hi All.

I'm currently looking into a new phone.

I love nokia's, I have had sony ericssons, samsung's and nokia's.

My current phone is a N900. Although it is a great phone its becoming old technology, and I'm getting bored of it.

I've been looking at the new phones about and have come across the Nokia E7 which looks quite promising, just wondered if anybody else had one here?

Also have been looking at the Iphones, but will hold out for the new one near the end of the year. And for anybody who has a N900 may know that there is word of a N950 which we should have more info on in june (hopefully).

So what I want to know is what are the best phones out there, mainly for web browsing via wifi, decent camera (preferably covered) and also easy to type texts on.
 
i also use an n900 and started looking around although contract isnt up until next march!

i love nokias so think i'll hold out until their first WP7. Interesting rumours of Microsoft buying out nokia - not that surprising mind you
 
All current Nokia smartphones are fairly rubbish from a software perspective.

The N8 is well built and has a fantastic camera, but the good points end there because it runs Symbian.

The E7 is well built and has a nice slide out keyboard if you need one, but it runs Symbian.

Of course, Symbian isn't totally useless, it does the job and if you are used to it, it will seem fine to you, but iOS/WP7 and Android are all so much nicer.

Nokia have more or less scrapped everything else now for their big WP7 phone launch in November, I'd wait for that if you must have a Nokia phone, otherwise look at the new dual-core Android line up, its good stuff.

The current 'best phones' out there are -

Samsung Galaxy S II / HTC Sensation for Android
iPhone 4 (4S/5 coming quite soon)
Samsung Omnia 7 for WP7

This. You just picked a bunch of phones which are going to essentially be left to fade away very quickly. Modern phones are now in update cycles, they don't stand still and gain a lot from it. Symbian is pretty much deprecated from Q3.
