Hi All,

I need a new phone. (I currently have an iphone 3G for sale)

Sick to death of it now. Just got bored.

Anyways, what i need in a phone;

- Exchange 2007 support
- Video Calling
- Pxting (sad, but true)
- Exchange 2007 support
- Preferably a biggish screen
- phone (A functional phone) I need it to perform as a phone above anything else. the iphone just doesnt do this. and WM devices are a little slow to respond (unless they've had an update that i'm unaware of)

- Good battery life (Considering im going to have PUSH enabled)  at the moment, im charging my iPhone every day. I'm not fussed, but if the device can get me 16 hours, i'll be happy.

Not sure about whether to stay with Vodafone though.. because i'd say Telecom are going ot show a bit of competition.. and I really do like 3G.



Any information and/or help you guys can give will be very much appreciated.


Distressed iPhone 3G owner.

Nokia E or N Series devices fit the bill as does the 5800

Yeah, not too keen on the 5800. It looks like a cheap toy :(

But, I will have a look at the E and N series.. now i just have to decide; 850/2100 or 900/2100

I still cant find anything suitable really..

The Nokia E75 looks nice though...

I have now decided to stay with Vodafone so a 900/2100 handset fits the bill nicely.

Have you guys got any ideas at all? I'm finding it a real struggle to find anything remotely suitable.

Whats the battery life like?

Whats the UI like? I heard that the S60 interface is rather old and sluggish, but of course, it was another persons opinion.
From what you told me, you use Exchange, which is what i'll be using, so it should be easier to do a comparison.


Thanks :)
