Spec me a new phone:)

Right, so I've had my C902 for ages now and it's looking pretty ******!

I pay about £25 per month on one of those rolling day efforts but I fancy a new phone and would like to not go above £30 a month.

Unlimited texts and 400+ minutes would be ideal. Can't really tell the differences between the likes of blackberry/htc/xperia thing so need some info on why each would suit me better.

I think I prefer the look of xperia over something like a blackberry and I don't use email much. Mainly texts/calls,youtube,msn possible?

Thanks

Omnia 7?

£30 a month on T-Mobile (18 month contract) and some cash back 600texts, 500 mins and internet?

You can get the Desire HD for something similar too.

Not sure about BBs though.

Just had a browse of them again. The omnia 7 being like the mozard 7? I'd take the htc over the samsung based on looks.

I've not been able to use windows 7 or android at all for any long period of time so I'm a bit unsure on what I want. 7 seems a bit less "geeky"....

Windows 7 is less geeky than Android, its more like the iPhone but far nicer to use.

The Omnia 7 is MUCH better than the Mozart 7, its got a far better screen for starters and it looks nicer too (you'll see if you look at a dummy model or have a go on either).

Aside from that, the Desire HD is your best Android option, its the same price band however it is slightly larger than the Omnia 7 due to the bigger screen but is a lovely phone all the same.

Forget Xperia, bad bad bad.

You should try a WP7 and a DHD to see which you prefer.

From what I read the xperia was bad yeh, I liked the HTC having read a review but seeing proper pics the samsung is probably more classy? looking.

I like the UI on both compared to the straight up android phones. The camera doesn't seem as good aswell as the audio compared to the htc mozart.

What is DHD?

Tmobile site is saying £35 pm to get the phone free with 900 mins/unlimited texts and internet. + £9 pm for insurance(I got through two K850s before I got the C902 and have dropped this LOTS)

DHD = HTC Desire HD, the current flagship Android phone.

Have a look here - http://www.mobiles.co.uk/

and here - http://www.buymobilephones.net/

for deals on various phones, make sure they include an internet deal though as the phones will be crippled without.

They will probably come in a lot cheaper than the networks directly.

Then add the Motorola defy to your list. Its a high end android that can take a beating (cheap direct from t mobile, water/dust resistant too)

Dont forget quidco etc for extra cashback if buying online.

Just to cap this off. I ended up with a mozart 7 in the end. Looked at the samsung but felt it was a bit too big and square in my hands, get to play around with the mozart and thought **** it.

I like the ui, it can go on the web,facebook app,music player and I like how the messages are like a conversation!

The omnia might have been the better phone technically but it was somewhat impulse.

Only annoying thing is the copy/paste thing which I hope they can sort when it gets updated.

Yup, already videos out showing it in use on developers devices (update rolled out early to them I assume to test for bugs) so it should be ready very soon.
