I'm looking at the bewildering array of possibilities.

Do any of these include 'getting a life', or anything like that?

Got one pal, living it fully thanks very much.

I'm only asking about a bit of phone advice; your sarky comment might be funny if this was some super geeky new tech, beards and sandals only allowed in type of gig but since everyone and their granny (And great granny) uses em these days I kind of thought we'd passed that stage ...

Who in God's name gives a tulip about what mobile phone you have as long as it fits your needs and does what you want.

Actually, it's almost impossible to find the phone that I want (good audio, range, clarity, cheap, works all over the world).

No need for Mssrs Nokia, Samsung, Sony et al. to break sweat making mobiles that perform well when there are a stack of muppets like you that go "Ooooooh Shineeeyyyy" whenever they produce a different form factor in a different colour.

I've had a vast array of different phones; nokia comunicator's, touch screen with sat nav and alike, but now I just have a simple nokia that calls and texts as that is all I do with it.

All the extra gizmo's and things just made the simple task of making a call or sending a text that little bit too time consuming.

I am with Craig on this , I have had a whole host of fones, Pda phones, communicators ect etc. Gone back to a nokia 8800, flashy yes, but simple to use, small in size and solid in build. Also I dont believe you can beat a Nokia UI.

I have an Orange SPV C550 - does exactly what I want it to.

Windows for mobiles, it's the future I tell you!
