    Ok Guys, I know it's another "what fone" thread but i'm looking for a bit of advice.

    I currently have a K750i and want a change but I am unsure what fone to get.
    I am with Vodafone and due an upgrade but the range of voda fones is quite crap to be honest.
    I was thinking of getting an upgrade and selling it along with my K750i and get a decent fone sim free.

    My short list so far (in no particular order) is
    1. SE K800i
    2. SE W850i
    3. Nokia N series
    4. Moto KRXR K1:rolleyes: not sure why really - it's shiny

    What I need is Bluetooth/MP3 player/Camera/Decent calendar/memory card

    Suggestions welcome

    Voda contract up next month, so I gave them the boot this morning. Sick of waiting for them to release the K800, sick of their 3G service which is barely any faster than 2.5G, and sick of their buggy software. I've had two 3G phones on Voda - 6630 and V3X both had to be reflashed, and when they were they both got slower.



    Out of the phones you listed most would probably say get the K800I After having the K750 you probably won't be blown away by it but it's seems to be a solid phone.


    Avoid all things Motorola.


    N series phones are okay, but they can be a bit on the slow side. IIRC, the W850 was also described as being on the slow side.

    Did i mention to avoid all thigns Motorola?

    From reading a few threads it seems like keeping away from a Moto is a goo idea:D

    Just I have had nokia 6630/6680 and a few SE/ericsson fones and thought a change would be nice.
    I switched from the 6680 to the K750i mainly because of the 3G rubbish reception.

    So it's prob the SE K800 of W850i then.
    The N series Nokias are a runner too but some of them are V Bulky.

    I'm just wondering if there are some good fones out there that I am not aware of / didn't consider??:confused:
