I've heard very bad reviews about the LG Chocolate, along with all LG phones.

I've got a SonyEricsson w810i and its the best phone I've had by a long, long way.

Hope this helps

Nokia N80.

It runs on symbian which is a mobile computer like operating system. There are many apps for it etc and it's a great system for a mobile phoneto run off.

I've got the 6280 on 3 as well and i have had nothing but problems with it. The phone keeps turning itself off, the software crahes all the time and the battery charges when it wants to.

I would go for the Sony one if i were you.

Me and the Mrs have got that phone too.

Do you have problems when changing from silent to general in the profile list? Ours keeps going to a black screen. Our battery also decides its suddenly empty and turns its self off when a minute before it was full. I still think Nokias are the best but they didn't do enough testing with the 6280. I'd go for the N80

:o Thats exactly the problem that i have with my phone as well.

I have been told that if you take it to a phone shop and ask for you phone to be 'flashed' then it should clear the problem. I am going to try and get my phone done this weekend so i will let you know if it works.

To be honest i havent got a clue! I think its something to do with resetting the software but it may delete whatever you have on your phone memory apparently. If you do go and have it done then i have been told to transfer everything to the memory card and take it out before they do it.

SE K800i: 3 Megapixel Camera, 3G technology if you want it, excellent UI, excellent build quality.

SE have overtaken Nokia when it comes to quality phones.

In my opinion

I've got a Nokia. When I call my mate on it on a Friday night, he answers it and 5 minutes later we're in the pub.

It's the best phone I've ever had.

As discussed previously, if it works for you then it's a good phone. You need to get hands-on and try it. For example, I have fingers like a gorilla so Wisel's N70 keypad is useless for me

Ask for a 1 gb memory stick duo as well, doubt they will stump up for 2gb, i have the 2 gb and can quite easily fit 30 cd albums on the phone and the disc2 phone is so easy to use **thumbup

they offer you all that as you never get to use it as the signal and coverage is
cr @p!! the 1/2 price line rental is redeemable after 12 months with no problems with paynment... however they always find a reason not to send you a cheque with your money back... and i'm still waiting for my free play station2 :lol: what a laugh...

got to be one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with!!

I'm on t-mobile flex at the moment... great deal... £35 per month £180 worth of crdit (as such) - half price for first 8 months on an 18 month contract **thumbup free insurance
