Hi Graham,
 
Again, it is a matter of opinion, but I personally hate the 5500.  If you
want to text fast, and I do that often, then that phone is not for you.  The
buttons are too hard to press, because it is a sport phone, and supposedly
jog proof.
 
Also for me, the buttons are too big, not too small.  The N73 has smaller
buttons.  Do go look for yourself, because that is the only way that you
will be able to do valid research.  Phones are as personal as screen
readers.  The best buttons for fast texting I believe are to be found on the
N91.
 
All the best

Hi all.
 
So another puzzler in mobile phones.  Really I should go to a shop and take
a good look at these for myself but I am looking at O2 tarrifs as I think
this network has the best coverage and some reasonably accessible services.
I am thinking of either a Nokia 5500 or a Nokia N73.
 
I have had a brief look at a 5500 and certainly it looks a good tough
reliable phone and I have heard the keypad on the N73 is now good and easy
to use.  Some people have questioned its durability though.  The Nokia 5500
looks good and reliable and it is nice and small.  I like the idea that you
can plug ordinary headphones into it which is surely a nice feature but I
wonder how people find the small keys.  In reality people seem to have used
this phone jogging and things.  I am unlikely to do that but the toughness
and size would be welcome but is the audio quality still up to it and are
all the buttons, including the soft keys and menu keys etc. still quite
usable?
 
Regards
