Looking to upgrade my N95 8GB have looked at the N96 and the N97 both look great but, they don't run windows and a lot of my file i have on my phone are microsoft word and exel.
Looking at the HTC magic as it runs window.

Any one got any experiance with the HTC

No experience with the HTC Magic, but years of experience of HTC in general and other different brands of WinMob phones, and all I can say is you will be disappointed. I revisited recently with the Samsung Omnia and WinMob hadn't moved on much in terms of usability since I started with WinMob 2003.

If you simply need the ability to edit/create/view Microsoft Office (Excel/Word) files then may I suggest QuickOffice Pro (http://www.quickoffice.com/). This can edit DOC(X), XLS(X) and PPT files on Symbian phones and costs a lot less than a new phone ($19.99 currently).

I use it on my N95-8GB and find it very intuitive despite the limitations of the N95's screen size).

I have the Magic. It doesn't run windows, it is an android phone. I can't answer the question about it's ability to handle word documents, but there is a large, and growing, apps market and there may be something on there which enables that.
I chose the phone because of its browsing capabilities and haven't benn disappointed so far.

In that case, The HTC Magic has the same software available for Android as I recommended for the N95 - it's cheaper too at $9.99.

Just been in to vodafone shop to look at HTC magic looks good but its only in white and looks wrong for a bloke.

Might have to be the N96.

will keep an eye on the other thread about the N95 Upgrade and see what comes from that.

Thanks for the help
