Hi Barry Yeah, I'm on Sim only too with Voda. I get 10 hours airtime and unlimited texts for £20 a month. I've been with Voda for yonks, and have no reason to change. I like an unlocked phone and have always had one.

You're not. You're paying in the long-term for the phone. I'm on SIM Only and snap a phone up every 3 or so years offline. Now I'm not going to pay full retail for the thing either though. :D)Barry Tell me and I will hear, show me and I will see, involve me and I will understand.

I too have n91, which I will be most likely getting rid of when I come back from my US holiday in march. My requirements are pretty much same as Barry's. I thought about n96, but from what I've seen and read it seems buggy and half features like the I-player we can't even use in the UK! Also it's baterry life doesn't seems very good. N85 though seems like a nice phone, but o2 doesn't sell it and I'd prefer to stay on o2 and I don't think that it's such a good phone that I'd want to pay a lot of money to buy it offline. I quite like the look of the samsung phone about which I posted couple of weeks ago, but seems that unfortunately talks is not going to support any non nokia phones even if they are on symbian platform. So again, any suggestions apreciated bearing in mind that I wouldn't really like to spend a lot of money on buying an offline phone as, to me it just doesn't seem worth that much.

It's a referb straight from a service centre with Talks so the buyer will get a good one. Is there any phones out there at the moment people are really in to? I was considering the N96 but heard some awful reports, same with the N97 that's just out. The N82 is a possibility because of the fact it works with the KNFB software, which I might decide to buy down the line. Thing is the n82 is becoming an older phone by the day. Allot of folks seem to be going on about the N95 8GB, but I'm somewhat reluctant as this is an older phone. I'm wondering whither to scrap S60 and go native with a Windows Mobile phone but what one? I don't really want a PDA style phone with it's bulk and titchy keyboard. As you can see I'm really not sure what to go for at the moment. I do like the N91's features and connectivity but want more. Any suggestions? Dj paddy Barry Tell me and I will hear, show me and I will see, involve me and I will understand.
