Which Mobile Phone?

Hi, Need a new mobile phone on contract.
Had Samsungs for the last 2 years, but dont like any of the new range this year.

I want a Decent Camera, and no joystick (hate them).
Got to look pretty good too.

Been looking at the SE k800i, is this a good phone? Is it fairly new or due for replacement?

Thanks guy, Suggestions Welcomed

K800 I is fairly new ticks all your boxes bar the joystick

Well if you don't want a joystick that rules out the K800i right away, it is a good phone and still fairly new so I can't imagine there will be a replacement for a little while yet.

You might want to look at the W950i as it doesn't have a joystick but the camera isn't as good.

Haha, that would be the problem, you are right I was thinking of the W850i.

I'd also add that the K800i does appear to have a more robust joystick, I've had mine for about 3-4 months so far and no signs of a problem yet, I'd already stuffed up the joysticks of my K750i and W800i by this point although they were still usable just not all that great.

A2Z I'm a bit curious about your reasoning there, because you are thinking about getting one phone you might as well get another instead? That is how it reads to me.

Thanks guys, yeah just noticed about the joystick thing

Ive inly ever used it once on my friends knackered phone, and I found myself constantly pressing the stick by accident while trying to navigate through menu's. Was his just broken or is the k800i the same?

because he stated he didnt want a joystick so that would put both phones out of the equation, but as he had already mentioned looking at the k800i and other people had recommended it, he might as well then at least look at the N73 as its overall a better phone then the k800i.
