N96

No way - The N96 doesn't seem to have a decent camera, or GPS, or a touchscreen.

Or at least I couldn't see them, but then I am notoriously unobservant when it comes to websites.

i have the N95, its good as long as you dont mind charging it every 5 hours.

Tytn II or Touch Cruise - I may go for the touch as not sure my fingers could use the Tytn keyboard - and it's 2/3 of the weight of the Tytn II.

I have a HTC 3300 at the moment (in O2 XTC Orbit casing).

Look at buying on contract through O2 online - they seem to be cheaper than buying new.

Tytn II is the O2 Stellar, Touch Cruise is the O2 Orbit 2.

I have an N95. It is really good for internet browsing. Unfortunately, last year I had some problems with it, I gather through condensation which lead to quite a long time of it not working correctly (seeming like buttons were stuck down). Searches on the internet lead me to finding that nokia actually test your handset out for water damage and wont replace it if they find it. It's working fine now though, it's just worth being aware of where you leave it.
There was also an issue with the LCD not working, although that rectified itself. That apparently is a known issue due to some poor wiring inside some units.
And finally the battery cover is a broken on mine as well now. I believe replacement covers are about a fiver.
Not sure if the new N95 suffers from as many problems. Probably worth looking into it before purchasing.

Have had my Tytn II since late October,

it has Tomtom navigator on it no probs which is sooo useful, camera is good but slightly slow in shutter speed (i.e the nokia w810i is far better for pub type pics), the sound on it is carp, very tinny so not that great as a mobile ipod style phone but thats the only bad points, on the plus side, the flippy out keyboard and adjustable screen angle is brilliant, it has a very stable operating system, office mobile is very useful, the touch screen very accurate, internet can be viewed very well, connectivity wise it has everything 3G/wireless LAN/modem/HSDPA..

generally im very impressed and would recommend one as a mobile office, if your after something that will mainly be used as an ipod/camera phone then go for Nokia w900..

I've had my HTC S710 for over a year and it is pretty decent. Pin-thumbs would help at times though...

I just picked up an LG KU990 Viewty which is quite nice and unlike the iPhone, I just took the SIM card out of the old one and stuck it in and voila, I was away. Seems to have more functions than the iPhone as well, possibly.

Oh dear. That's an unfortunate name for the model....

The HTC TyTn II is a pretty decent device, borrowed a mates a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised.

N95 is a bit of an unstable beast from what I hear.

Nokia N95 ? Seems to have everything except a touch screen, although I have heard it can be a bit fragile, and apt to slide open in your pocket.

I'd get a Blackberry if they had a prepaid option. (Apparently there's something called a Sidekick, which is very similar to a blackberry and can be used prepaid. But I'd only want the latest model, the 8800 (?), so that's Blackberry out of the running.)

P.S. Anyone know what the new Nokia N95S has that the N95 doesn't? I've heard the camera isn't as good, which seems a step backwards.

P.P.S Don't get me started on the Xda IIs! The one I currently use has an infuriating feature in that after each call you make it pops up a box to show your remaining credit. But this happens after a few seconds, and if you've turned off the phone it turns it back on again! So you end up having to turn it off twice each time!! (But what can you expect from a phone running Windows for Mobiles?)

n95 is for amateur female contractors. TYTN is the thing.
