Depends what you'll use it for apart from phone calls!
What's your wish list in a phone?

N95 is mint, I've had mine since just before xmas.

I went for the Sony Ericsson K850i. It's also mint!

I've got some Mentha Sachalinensis, that's mint too

Urgh. It's soo slow though! Trying to make a call or write an SMS on an N-series is like wading through frozen treacle!

I like my new Samsung G800 - it's the easiest phone to use I've ever had (and a decent camera too)

I've got a Nokia e61 for work and a Sony Ericsson K800 for play cos the e61 is a big old phone!
E61 is great for work cos it's got a full qwerty keyboard and wifi; I get a lot of emails during the day which have to be dealt with (deleted )

Currently i have a samsung d900 which is a great phone. Due an upgrade so i want a mobile that has sat nav like the n95 have heard the battery life is shocking. 2 hrs calls and 1 day stand by . The reason i was considering this phone is becuase my friend has tom tom on his and he would put in on my new phone. He has an older a nokia not sure what model.
Wish list:-
Reliable
At least a 3mpeg camera
sat nav
Available on the orange network.

Thanks for that will have a look at one of them. Does it use exactly the same software?

[teamster1975]

Don't get a K800i, I tried one and it had loads of problems and kept crashing

The original firmware was shite, when it's updated it's a great phone to use
The crazygolf game on it is brilliant too!

Have been told to wait for the new all dancing nokia N96 it is suppose to have a better battery and reliability compared to the N95.

[DaiRees]

Yea but as soon as that one's out someone will tell you to wait for the N97. That'll form a band and record it's own music, take professional photos (@200MP) and broadcast quality video, feature a fold away 26" widescreen monitor for web browsing and videos, feature a full games console, make your tea, clean your house, smooth things over with your bird when you piss her off, oh and it'll make phone calls too.

When does that phone come out then as that sounds just like what i want The only reason im anti nokia n95 is because of the crap battery life and the fact i have red the software keps crashing. Even my network provider told me not to have one as they have lots of these returned due to faults. And it was not even a free upgrade that particular model would cost me £115 . The main reason i wanted this phone was for the sat nav. As i dont want to buy one so this phone seemed ideal.
