James Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hey, I recently recieved the LG Viewty as an upgrade on my contract. I've given it a couple of weeks to prove itself but have just decided that theres no chance I can put up with the god awful touch screen for texting for another 11 and half months. I've been on ebay and seen that atm, the viewtys are going for about £200-220 which id be very happy with, and am just wondering if any of you guys have suggestions for another phone I could look into. Basically the phone needs to... Have buttons, have a half decent camera (preferably 5.0 mp but anything over 3.2 would do) and have a generally rather snazzy interface, in terms of the functions and the actual look of the phone. I dont mind a slider either, might be a nice change.Thanks peeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Not too fond of the N95 to be honest, have had a play with it and didnt like the way it worked. Not too fond of the N-series it turns out lol. Anyone used the sony ericsson w580i? here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I don't care about fancy phones.. Aslong as it can ring people, text, and hold a decent amout of messages then it's alright.I've got a Samsung D600, 'cos it was cheap off eBay...

James Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I am really fond of my k850i, what you are looking for sums it up really well.I do really like the look of that phone infact. I think its down to either that or the N82.. has anyone had any experiences with the n82??thanks for your help btw guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Whats so bad about the viewty? I'm getting one today on upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) I guess it's just the fact that it's touchscreen and real annoying. When I used my friends Prada my hands were too big for it, and I havn't got hands that big... Edited January 7, 2008 by JonMack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Thats it really, the buttons are very difficult to press and not as responsive as id of liked and you cant scroll along words when writing by any other way rather than ur fingernail and its very tricky to not completely go out of that screen if you make a mistake. I just dont think i could put up with that for another year to be honest. you might love it though, it does look nice and flash and the cameras pretty nifty.

anzo Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Beware of the 880i, do not put it in your back pocket as I did. I sat on it and bent the metal casing...it then shorted out on itself and turns itself off repeatedly. I've put it in the cupboard now and currently using an old nokia...but I need an upgrade urgently! My contract runs out in quite a while so I guess I'll have to buy a new phone (mainly due to lack of MP3 player) and having a nice to use phone.So, how much are the N95's selling for these days (brand new)?
