none of them. go for the Sony Ericsson K800 - but if your set on one of them them I'd say the samsung z400. Seriously dont touch the LG choclate with a shitty stick.

Yeah, this girl i know can't stand the LG chocalate phone, when she answers her phone she puts it to her ear like usual and he ear then touches the end phone call button, so obviously the call ends.

BTW I have a D500 :wave

The k800i doesnt come with a memory card or headphones though does it? That really fucking pissis me off, why sell a phone without a memory card? Thats like selling a car with out a steering wheel. c*nts. They are 30 and 50 quid as well. AGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH.

Come with headphones just not as good as the ones with the W810i.

Just playing with me mates w810, thank fuck i didnt go for it, dont like it at all!!

The interface just feels horrible, and it doesnt play wma files - shocking considering it's supposed to be a Walkman phone!

It's a nice looking phone and everything, but i think i've been spoilt by getting the k800 really

Im so fucking pissed off. Just phoned three up to upgrade, been with them 2 years so was gonna try and get a real good deal out of them and they told me ive got another 6 months to go before i can upgrade. They flogged me an 18 month contract last time when i thought it was 12 so got to wait till Feb till i can get a good phone. The one i have is wank now. Fucks sake. Good job i didnt get that one in the shop or would of been paying 2 bills. I'm so angry.

Ok, change of plan in the ol' mobile phone stakes now as I'm torn with which deal to go for. I'm definitely toying with a SE w810i, but don't know what deal to go for. If I stay with O2, I'll pay £25 and get 100mins and 500texts, but I can pay the same with orange or Tmobile and get 150minutes and 600 texts or vodafone and get 200 minutes and 250 texts.

I don't really want to leave O2 even though I'm a PAYG customer- they're getting £40 from me a month in the last month, but it doesn't seem like I'll get as much value for money as I would with other networks :(

Are Orange and/or tmobile decent networks- mainly just stay in Liverpool anyway?

I ordered my K800 yesterday, it should come tomorrow. First time in 5 years I won't be with O2 either. Orange are doing some good deals with this animal promotion they've got going.

Can I just warn the good folk here not to buy the V3X. To cut a long story short the first one I got had to be replaced after a multitude of problems and even the new is shite at picking up a signal and has a dismal battery life. I could go on but I am only annoying myself.

Wife got a Z400 also. Went to o2 shop & they said they cannot be deleted so I have just sent an email to samsung complaining.
Doubt if it will do any good but its still a shit thing for them to do.
Told them Im gona cancel the phone & go back to Nokia.

Mate at work has a V3x. Turning off 3G helped her with the battery life.

I recently bought the V3i and love it. Slimmer & better build/materials than the 3Vx IMO.

Just got a K800i with T-Mobile, Flex 20 with Web and Walk for £27.50 a month business account.

The web and walk is excellent and it renders the pages pretty well for a screen like that. Top Camera on a top phone.

Anyone bought this phone?

Seems a good phone, but concerns about firmware problems and battery life.

Was wondering what owners' experiences of the phone had been?

There are mixed opinions on this phone. Some love it- wifi browsing and a great screen. Others slate it saying the battery is pants and the firmware is unstable and slow. The camera also lacks autofocus so is pretty redundant.

I just got an N73 and am very happy with it. Camera is superb, 3MP with a mechanical shutter and Carl Zeiss lens. It has all the same features as the N80 apart from wifi and a lower res screen. The N80 is quite chunky whereas the n73 isn't much bigger than my old k750i

Just had a look at that N73 looks smart, I have currently got a K750i and although it is a decent phone I cant wait to get rid of it, just for the reason on the joystick never fucking works. I have only seen pics of n73 and want to know is that a joystick on it?

Yeah it is a joystick, but it seems pretty solid.

I work for 3, and out of our range at the moment I'd say the K800 was the best. It's got brilliant features and apart from a couple of minor software faults we've hardly had any back for repair. The N80 is probably almost as reliable though. N73 we haven't had in long enough to judge, but it looks good so far.

the k750i though has really put my off any phone with a joystick because it really is pissing me of

Always buy 'refurbished' mobi's. A lot of these are actually brand new still having the protective screen covers on etc and are just surplus because a 'newer' model has been brought out.

Some fools pay hundreds of pounds (even if it is a 'free' upgrade, ha, ha). My latest bluetooth camera phone set me back less than £50.

Usually nothing wrong with refurbs, although on the whole they are returns that have been brought back within 14 days, had a software reflash and a clean and are sent back. As a rule they tend to be just the charger and the phone. You rarely get a data cable, headphones etc as well.

Refurbs are ALWAYS handsets that have been returned under the 14 day return policy.  Sometimes it's because the customer has changed their mind & sometimes it's because the handset is faulty. 

It all depend which one you receive!

Bollocks!  ;)

Yes, they are likely to have been returned for a number of reasons OR are handsets which dont shift because they've been superseded. None have been faulty that I have bought.

I dont need the latest mega pixel video phone either so go for the ones marked 'pristine'' else they're in breach of the Sale Of Goods Act.
