Well 8800 is worth the most, and look smart. What do you use the phone for? I would wait a couple of weeks for the N80 but if you had to get it now then it would probally be the N70, but its a bit old now and is not that great tbh, its an old phone revamped.

I really could do with it now (lost phone at weekend drunk

). Any idea how long till the N80 comes out on Orange?

Not as long as posted above, I've been told 9th may. What do you use the phone for, if like most you have a phone with all the bells and whisels and only use it for calling and the a few txts then I would look at getting the 8800 (in black if you can).

8800 not a good works phone due to poor battery life. As for a Black 8800, I think its only avilable on T-mobile.

should be able to get it on any network. The battery was ok on mine, lasted a day of heavy use or two of average use, there is always the very small 2nd battery, I used to keep mine in my wallet sometimes.

I would probably only use it for calls, texting and the odd photo. As it is for work it would need a fairly decent battery life though.

Any other recommendations?

Firstly, the 8800 isn't available on Orange apart from as part of the generic handset program. It'll cost you an arm and a leg from CPW (you will NOT get a free upgrade to it no matter how much you spend) and is, quite frankly, rubbish for the money.

You're paying several hundred quid for a 6230i without a memory card slot but with a but more internal ram in a shiny case... That sounds really sensible...

If you have to get one now, get the 6230i, or the N70, or if you can wait get the N80 later this month.

as a previous 6230i owner im looking forward to the 6233, whens that due out on orange/o2?

Completley agree that the 8800 is not worth the price. Doesn't change the fact that it's a dead sexy phone though.

If you can get it for free then your sorted.

Well I supose that all depends on how much money you have got.

Don't worry I'm only joking, being a POOR student!
