NSD - new Smartphone day!

[Twinfan]

Popped into Vodafone yesterday while shopping to check out a possible upgrade to a Blackberry, but they'd just had delivery of a bunch of Nokia N97s.  As you can't get the iPhone on Nokia, and I'm not a big fan of Apple's world domination, I fell for it.

I'm supposed to be working but I've spent the day messing about with Facebook widgets and setting up email.  And ordering a case, and some screen protectors, and a car charger.......

I love gadgets  :D

Awesome. I imagine you'll get a lot of use out of that.
I had their other touch-screen, the 5800 for a couple of days, but it was so shiny and delicate feeling so I took it back and got a 3310 because it seemed more 'me'. :)

[Philly Q]

Can you still get the 3310?  That's my phone, I've had it for years!   :)

I like some gadgets, but mobile phones aren't among them.  I hate the bloody things.

I've still got a 3410 thats in need of a new fascia and charger. I might start using it again, all I use my slightly flashier 5300 for is texting and ringing anyway.

I've been waiting for a reasonably sized and priced full-on internet phone to be available for a few years.  I've always wanted to have the world in my pocket, as it were!

The iPhone pretty much did it, but I must admit I like the separate QWERTY keyboard of the N97 better.

Indeed. i can't get on with keyboards lacking in buttons!

iPhones are very awkward to type on imo. I think they're hugely overrated bollocks tbh! This nokia equivalent seems way better.

Well, we'll see how it goes.  The Apple brand has really sucked in a lot of people, and there are some really good apps for the iPhone.

I like to be a little different though, and the iPhone is only on O2 and more expensive.

But if you can geniunely say you use it for booking gigs, you can get it on a business tarif 

[Twinfan]

Ha ha - nice one!

[MrBump]

I'm tempted by the N97 - I just remember the N95 coming out, and the dreadful battery life!

Played with the N97, and it's dead cool.  I too am irrationally adversed to Apple...

It's like they've taken something really good (being able to phone if your car breaks down, for example), and made it into something really cr@p and annoying. Like big brother on TV.

all the iphones sins can be forgiven for the alan partridge in your pocket app!

I want the Sony Ericsson C905 phone. It's beastily, I love my current 902 but I need an upgrade and its not until next year! Curses!

[JDC]

I still have the same sony w810i I've had for years, does everything I need

I love how lots of people have to have the newest, best phone possible because it gives them social proof or whatever, good old marketing and peer pressure

anyone who judges me purely by the phone I have needs to get a life :)

I do quite like the google phone, nice interface, shame about the camera, do symbian based phones have an app store?
