Which Phone?

Isn't it stressfull trying to buy a new mobile phone. There's so much choice out there. Then you've got to go into a shop and get pounced on by the sales rep, then you end up leaving with something you don't want. But what if you want one of the best phones out there, you don't want it to be overtaken by technology, as you will be tied to an 18 month contract. Well.... I'm going to try and find out what is the hottest phone out there at the moment, and on which of the top 5 networks you will get the best possible deal. Let's meet the candidates:

Sony Ericsson K850i: A wonderfull phone, well designed. Get that perfect shot with the 5 mega pixel camera. It's 3G enabled too. Although Sony experienced teething problems with this phone, owners were saying the phone would just die on them.

Nokia N95 8GB: Mini-computer springs into mind when i see this beast. With a 5 mp camera, even wi-fi enabled it has to beat off the competition with it's 8GB internal memory. Nokia claim to have ironed out any problems the original N95 had, in this phone.


LG U990 Viewty: Ah yes, the viewty. Complete with a 3" touch screen, 5 mp camera, high speed video recording and Div-X playback. It's a dream to own and use. Perhaps there might be the slight glitch with the touch navigation now and again, but comes out a good performer.

Samsung F490: With that large, 3.2" touch screen, and 5mp camera, this phone could be quite a hit. Being recently released, it's the newest of the four. But does the newest mean the best. The phone may look stylish, but does that touch screen live up to it's expectations?
Now were going to see which phone is the best to choose out of the five main UK networks; Three, Orange, Vodafone, T-mobile and O2.
Sony Ericsson K850i: Get 400 mins and 500 texts for £15 a month, for 11 months. Then £30 a month for remainder. So half price for 11 months. Plus phones free. On O2
Nokia n95 8GB: Get 750 minutes and unlimited texts, all for £40 a month on Vodafone. Plus £90 cash back, and 3 months free insurance.
LG Viewty: Get 450 minutes or up to 900 texts a month for £30 per month. The phones free.
Samsung F490: Get 500 minutes and unlimited texts for £35 per month with the phone being free. Exclusive to Vodafone. See more plans.
The Sony Ericsson K850i on O2 comes top of the list. It's just an unbeatable deal. The phone may not be perfect, but glitches have been sorted out. The K850i is the best phone out there at the moment, but remember a newer model is always on the horizon. So choose carefully.
