The research continues

I'm still no closer to deciding on a new mobile phone. I do have a bit of an excuse though. One of the guys at work recommended I wait until next week as work will have a new lot of handsets on special. If I get it through work, I can get it cheaper (the perks of working for a telco!) - not to mention the staff plans are pretty good.

The down side is that there's a limited range on offer. So I'll wait and see. My supervisor used to work in the mobile department and he recommends either a Sony Ericsson or a Samsung. He doesn't think much of the other brands.

I did go have a look at a few handsets today and I've been asking friends what they have and what they like. A couple of my friends think I should get the Nokia 6110 Navigator. Apparently my knack for getting lost easily is well known!

Hmm... perhaps that's not a bad idea ;)

After using quite a few as a Sales Rep, i'd only go Nokia these days -it's the only reliable brand, IMO.

I just want a slim phone that's pretty and has a flip-top so I can't accidentally dial out on it in my bag ( I never use the LOCK feature ). And rarely needs charging, and doesn't cut out.

Motorola is crap, and I have 3x g/fs to support me. We all have husband-hand-me-downs and they SUCK !

I'm no help. All those names just confused me. I feel like you should give me some cheese since I wandered around your phone maze. ;)

That is a nice looking phone.

Plus surfing the net can be handy.

When you're stuck somewhere and have nothing better to do, and there are no interesting people to watch.

I was gifted 3 phones. The best one was the Nokia, easy to use, & the Motorola needed an advanced 'license' to just get it going!
Good Luck

Go for a Cricket - you pay as you go. The big thing is the service provider - if they suck the best phone in the world becomes a piece of useless plastic.

I've always used a Nokia and find the menus really easy to use. Very reliable phone. Our company only uses Nokia as well, and we have a telco arm as well, if that's any indication??!!

Thanks for all your help guys. Seems that quite a few people (here and at work) don't think much of the motorola. They do look quite nice though.

I've had a look at a few and I've narrowed down my choices a little. The Nokia 6110 and the Sony Ericsson 880i are the current front-runners.
