New phone? Which to choose?

1nf3rn0x · Oct 15, 2010

My Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic is great. But i'm getting tired of it. I'm looking at buying a new phone. Options:
Nokia n97 Mini
Nokia E5
Nokia E72
Iphone XXXX Hate apple and there guts
Basically thats what I'm looking at.

No Android options? I am dissapoint

gumpty · Oct 15, 2010

What about Android?

Two of my flatmates have them, one Desire & one Wildfire. I think they are the bollocks if you're looking at smartphones - not as ass-tearingly expensive as an iphone, but does all the same stuff. If you are on gmail, that's what I'd recommend.

Edit: you need to put an 'other' option in your poll.

iPhone

(I also hate everything else APPLE)

Yukikaze · Oct 15, 2010

HTC Desire.

heky · Oct 15, 2010

Android FTW.

Bundy · Oct 15, 2010

HTC whatever you want - they make the best phones

Triprift · Oct 15, 2010

Out of them ones you menchined the N97 mini is what id pick as ive heard its very good.

Like everyone else you should check out Android especially the HTC Desire or the Samsung Galaxy S.

inferKNOX · Oct 15, 2010

HTC Desire

mcloughj · Oct 15, 2010

Go with a HTC desire or samsung galaxy S.

The N97 is crappy.
The E72 while a good phone, is two years old.
Dunno about the E5, but symbian and touch screens are not a good combo.

HossHuge · Oct 15, 2010

I also read that the samsung galaxy S is a great phone. I'm getting a samsung galaxy 580 on Monday... :toast:

From Wiki.

The Samsung Galaxy S 1900 was named the European Smartphone of the Year at the recent European Imaging and Sound Association

If you like nokia phones, check the E series, pretty nice. I see you have put in a e72, very capable phone. Same OS, plenty of programs. I've got an e63, a step-up from an n73, I like the qwerty keyboard on it. Very nimble phone indeed! So I vote the e72.

Tatty_Two · Oct 15, 2010

I have 2 HTC's (one work, 1 pers) and both my wife and 2 daughters have them, they are by far the best phone I have ever used, although I have not tried the Iphone.

Fishymachine · Oct 15, 2010

Samsung Galaxy S by far

heky · Oct 15, 2010

The iphone is crap, at least for the money they want for it. It doesnt have anything the Samsung Galaxy S doesnt have, but costs twice as much.

digibucc · Oct 15, 2010

I love my HTC Evo, but idk if that's an option down under.... also the battery life is a concern for some - though it has not caused me any problems

RejZoR · Oct 15, 2010

Throw an eye at Samsung Wave series...

Triprift · Oct 15, 2010

Lol i have a Iphone 3gs and love it but i realise its not for everybody.

Probably because it is stylish and user friendly in general,not because of features and bang-per-buck

Triprift · Oct 15, 2010

Well actually mine was free and feature wise it is pretty good.

i loved my ipod touch - but i hate at&t and couldn't afford an iphone.

now that i have an evo (android) , i see that it can do everything the ipod(iphone) could do - and more, but cheaper.

Triprift · Oct 15, 2010

Thats one thing here in Oz the Iphones available on every network.

HossHuge · Oct 15, 2010

Saw this while shopping for a Samsung Galaxy 580. Creative and cute.

Until you say why no android I'm going to say any Galaxy S phone. The performance is significantly better than other android phones with a processor package quite close to the iphone 4, and it's available from most carriers. Here's a review of a keyboard variant http://www.anandtech.com/show/3891/samsung-epic-4g-review-the-fastest-android-phone
