Now that I have a job and some cash in my pocket, I'm looking to replace the mobile I lost in March (Don't ask, but it involved Salford and a train :">) with a camera phone. :D Only question is which one :blink:
First thought was to check the T-Mobile Pay As You Go phones (As my last one was a T-PAYG), and found the Siemens MC60 (http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_payg_details.asp?ItemKey=114078), Sony Ericsson t610 (http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_payg_details.asp?ItemKey=7955), and Motorola v300 (http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_payg_details.asp?ItemKey=112665). Only problems was that the last mobile was a Siemens M35i and was stable but boring (and the MC60 looks the same), and I've seen quite a few of the t610 around. That left the v300 - Until I saw Orange's v500 (http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_payg_details.asp?ItemKey=114079) and Vodafone's v525 (http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_payg_details.asp?ItemKey=112667), two seemingly better phones for a lower price :huh:
Next problem is that I'm a little uncertain with the Vodafone and Orange tariffs, and the O2 ones can go screw themselves (the few calls I make would cost more on O2 than on T-Mobile). So now I'm stuck with figuring out which phone to go for.
Then I have to waft the flames a little more by considering Pay Monthly (even though I don't use the phone much) to get a larger range of phones, and find this (http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher?paymentPlanType=mixit&nmid=phones_overview&pmid=7130&menuid=ctl_phones_details) and this (http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher?paymentPlanType=mixit&nmid=phones_overview&pmid=7132&menuid=ctl_phones_details). And that's not even taking into account the ones from 3 (http://www.three.co.uk/handsets/paymonthlyhandsets.omp). WHY THE HELL DOES THERE HAVE TO BE SO MUCH CHOICE??? :angry: <quietly backs away from the coffee>
Sorry about that :( Anyway - What was once a simple case of finding a decently-priced colour camera phone has got me considering video phones, bluetooth, etc. Anyone got any knowledge of any of the phones mentioned, or can recommend other phones that be of interest? Network/Manufacturer fanboys welcome ;)
Thanks in advance for anyone helping out :) And I'll swear off the caffeine until anti-spam is gone, if I can figure out what to go for :D
