    There's a new LG coming out soon, called new chocolate. Its HD and other fancy stuff. It's meant to be very good, if you can wait a few weeks.

    Nokia 5800

    That is, if you want a phone with SatNav that con't ever locate you, an irritating, unresponsive touch screen that's impossible to type text on and a battery that dies if you try to do crazy **** like make a 2-minute phone call.

    Then there's the clumsy OS, the abysmal web browser, awful selection of bundled apps and games, the list goes on.

    On balance, actually, I'd go for something else.

    I frequently wish I had.

    iPhone 3GS.....

    It's a great phone, and the apps you can download are awsome. In fact I'm replying to you from mine now.

    It does have it's down sides though.... My productivity at work has dropped due to access this this site and facebook, so be warned!

    Plus it's quite expensive when U work it out. £45 per month for 2 years and still to fork out £100 for the phone.

    I've had both the 5800 and an Iphone.

    And I think that the 5800 is marginally better. Never had any problems with it.

    Top phone.

    Got the 5800 on an 18/12 contract for £30 with Orange

    500 txts, 500 minutes &amp; some download as well. Not a prob. Not really had a look at i-phone but the Nokia seems alright.
