Dear Carol, Eleanor and all who have responded to my email. My daughter took me out a look at the N97 and E72, but the N97 to me was a non-starter, and I thought the E72 was a little too Wide. I looked at an N86 in a Nokia shop but they wanted 425 for it or a £35 per month with Voda. I decided to look on the net and found the N86 for £299 at Play.com and Amazon, sim free and unlocked. I decided to bite the bullet and buy . Hopefully, this phone will last me a while.

I have recently purchased one, along with other software. This is probably going to be more than you want to pay, but it was quite a good deal. I was quite tempted with the N97 myself as others have talked about it on this list so I'm sure they'll give you good feedback. I hope you'll find what you need soon and at a reasonable price. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: "ELSPETH PEARCE" <elspeth_pearce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 28, 2010 9:58 PM Subject: [talks-uk] (talks-uk) - Choosing a new mobile > Hi folks: I know this subject has been discussed in > depth, but I find myself in a position of having to > upgrade my phone, as my old N95 GB is beginning to give > me grief, and I am due an upgrade on my O2 account.
