If youre getting it on contract. Just get the 1 you like the least. Then just phone them up and tell them youre not happy, and you want to change to the other, and they will do it for you

Ive got a N95 and i love it!
Yeh the battery life isnt the best, and lasts me 2 days, and thats using the camera etc
But just put it on charge over night, not hard is it??
Camera is good, everything is good on it to be honest!

Hmm, might wait (even longer) and have a play with the k850i in a shop before I go ahead and order it online. Not too keen on touchscreens, I hate getting fingerprints all over them!
Don't like the Nokia at all though and not tried the Samsung yet either.

For instance

On the G600 you have a choice of 4 message alerts. You can't set your own

WTF it's their top of the range phone!

I have an N95 and I have to say I really hate it, the gps application is shit, the battery lasts about a day the symbian software is very slow,

On the plus side they are quite durable i droped mine from halfway up the grandstand at pvs on to the tarmac and it survived.

Was going to wait for the K850 to come out & upgrade to that

But, it's going to be a touch screen :| Which is annoying as fuck (anyone who's had a E900 or LG Chocolate will tell you how bad they are!)

Plus it's a bit bigger than I'd imagined





And the D-pad is a bit weird too, doesn't have a middle button



I know some people swear by N95's, but also a lot of people swear at them. Are they really as bad as some people make out? Battery wise etc


N95 came put on top in the review - http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_k850_vs_nokia_n95-review-162.php
