New Mobile, advice...

Ok, I want a new phone and think I might be able to convince the other half to let me take up a new contract.

I'm currently on Vodafone but tempted to change to get a better deal. I make more calls than text but love games on the go and the more high tech the phone the better. I love gadget (what man doesn't).

What is the best phone out there at the moment? What do you use? Should I wait for something else that's coming out soon?

N5, do you still have that phone you were selling a while back?

If you can afford it, the iPhone is a beast, one of my mates has one and it can do almost anything you could possibly want a phone to do

Except that as an actual phone it's really not that great. No MMS even, come on. Plus there's the extortionate prices and contracts to consider.

The Nokia N series (eg N95) seem to be very good and popular, and as they're Nokia's official replacement for the N-gage, they should be at the forefront of gaming on mobiles. Hoody's got one with pro-evo on it and it looks like one on a last-gen console and runs brilliant, really impressive.

would emailing from an iphone be cheaper than MMS? MMS is way over priced but I do use it alot.

I've been looking at the N96, it's the N95 with a new case and double the memory (from what I can see). Can you plug normal headphones into one as I hate having to use the bundled sets or pay through the nose for a decent compatible set.

Why would you trust me, I'm evil and a thief. MWHAHAHAA!!... ahem... what phone was it again? I'm very tempted by the N96 now that I've looked into it more. Doesn't seem to be free unless I take a big fat contract

Iphones are shite. As said before, they have quality features like ipod, apps, 3G etc but they don't even have bluetooth connectivity with other phones, only bluetooth headsets and earphones. Personally i'm a Sony Ericsson fan.

That's the reason I don't have an iPhone too
Here it's £500 for contract + iPhone the first year
