Hello!
I'm in the market for a new phone, mainly as i drunkenly lost one on sunday night, but my contract is about up anyway. I've had a quick browse and i've seen the LG KF600 and 700 (i think?!) but i was wondering if the touchscreen would become a bit of a pain in the arse after a while?
Has anyone got any experience of these phones at all?
Another option i've seen is the N95 8GB, but I haven't had a nokia in ages, so not that clued up???
Anyhow, I would prefer a 12 month contract, but i've got a feeling that i'll have to move over to an 18 month one to save some money. I'm with o2 at the minute, does anyone know of any good tariffs around at the min? Especially any student options?
Sorry for the long post, cheers for any help!
Steve

Do the iphone thing, buy an iphone for £169, do the unlock thing, and then put youre simcard in it
Ig you want a contract, just get a 12 month contract on a free phone, and just take the simcard out and put it in the i phone
Read the iphone topic

Good luck trying to find a 8GB iPhone - CPW are a lot in the minus figures of stock for them!

I'm not that keen on an iphone, i like the idea of having touchscreen though, but just wonder if it'll become a pain in the arse after a while?
I quite like the look of the N95 8GB after doing some research into it..... problem is, i've seen that it can crash every now an then, has anyone had much experience of this?

All other touchscreen phones are just poor imitations of the iPhone though! I had an LG Viewty for a week but sent it back because it was too annoying to use, iPhone is so easy

Iphone, or Viewty FTW - I can't believe how long my battery has lasted on my viewty
the last time I charged it was Sunday Night and I still have 2 blocks (half) battery left!!!!
iPhone is more fancy than the viewty but both are good phones (hard to get used too to start with)

N95 will more than likely crash a few times, just get the insurance and you will be fine

viewty is ok, iphone looks flashy but lacks the camera of the viewty.
N95 ftw tbh

I quite like the look of the N95 actually, but it looks quite big.... will it look like i'm over excited when i've got it in my jeans pocket?!
Jambo, do orange still do the student rates thing? Cos i'm at uni for another year, so probably still qualify....
