N70, or wait for the N90/91. I'm waiting to check out the E61, but that's a little more specialist

Boss just got an N70, Seems like a snazzy bit of kit.

should of put some more info in, i'm currently with Orange and have been for a while now. On x 200 min , with 500 text message free a month.

Currently have a 6230i , which i also have the Nokia CK-7W car kit installed in the car, so would like it to be compatible to that, obviosuly i would have to buy the pop port for it.

[Kryten]

Pop port connector would be required if you want charging and full cradle, otherwise its just bluetooth so would work anyway for voice use?

[luke0380]

Yep full cradle please !

That N71 looks pretty good. How good/flexible is the Symbian OS?

[Reverend Scapegoat]

Between the N70, and the 6270, which is the better phone?

[SIMON ADEBISI]

I got a 6680 a few weeks back. Great phone, dodgy battery though although maybe thats just mine.

N80's the one I'm waiting for. A little on the heavy side but in a small form factor, with hi-res screen and Wi-Fi to boot! Hopefully some enterprising company releases a VoIP app for it...

[luke0380]

do you know when the n80 is released? it looks like a Samsung D600, but a lot better!

[joconnor]

Have you considered getting a Sony Ericsson?

I generally only get Nokias but the w900 looks fantastic.

I have a w800 and it's great, comes with a 512mb memory card. There are loads of good deals on the w800 at the moment.

Nokia N70 is the best phone I've ever had. I have had before: nokia 3330, 3650, 7610, Siemens S600(?) and Samsung D500.

I have played with many SE phones and just keep coming back to Nokia - best UI, best build (re. durability, I realise some are plastic chunks of rubbish), best everything, and the N70 is the new daddy.

go for it.

I'm waiting for the Nokia 6280. Have wanted a flip/slide phone for a while but Nokia have yet to produced a decent one, looking at the reviews this one should be different.

[thetope]

i see the 6270 is now available on the O2 Online (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-582776-10309950) website... i'm very tempted! thing is though, it only has 9mb internal memory, and i can't see any reference to using mini sd cards or other memory on the website... surely not?

[owenjt]

I think the 6270 and 6280 are very similar but the 6280 is 3G and has miniSD Cards, so might be worth waiting a few weeks.

[the_running_man]

says here (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-582776-10309950?url=http://shop.o2.co.uk/affiliates/o2uk/jsp/handset/SelectHandset.do?pageMode=null&paramName=&prodID=affiliate%3ANOK%3A6270%3AGROUP&x=11&y=7) that it takes miniSD but no reference on nokia website as to which it supports.

EDIT: found it. nokia says miniSD

Looking for a new Nokia myself but got scammed into a new contract on Orange thanks to the "10% your bill" offer they are running, so can't get any decent upgrades or move to another contract.

So I've been looking at ebay for sim-free or Orange locked phones... would anyone advise this route? I'm somewhat suspect of the mobile market on ebay, thinking that the majority are probably scams or knock-off goods :suspect:

[thetope]

you might be better waiting for one to come up on the classifieds here, i personally wouldn't use ebay for a high value phone, aside from the scams there's too much chance of receiving a phone that someone has sold and for it to be blocked by the service provider a couple of months down the line when the seller claims the "lost" phone off their phone insurance
