[Mr Skrunts]

Having had numerous mobiles over the years but never wanting the latest on the market. I feel its time for something different.

I am not into texting, or the latest gotto have fashion/gadget accessory as a phone.  As I just have them for the sake of people being able to contact me or for the sake of an emergeny etc.

My daily carry with me every where is a Nokia 3510i.  I have an N gage that has a couple of Vids and a few games on for the traffic jams. I also have a Nokia 66?? somrthing or other that is a camera phone that has Tomtom on it and can be used with my GPS reciever.  All the phones were second hand  and didnt cost a great deal, so I upgrade as the trends change.

Am now looking for a change, looking for a phone that will cope with the tomtom software, nice screen for games and video's, camera would be good.  (handy for taking the odd piccy to post on the forum) but would like something with better sound quality, Polyphonic or where ever the standard went from there.

Dont wanna pay silly money but just want to combine all the bits from the others and gain a few extra's

Not fussed about fllip phones, dont like anything with the aerials protruding allthough they are probally old hat now.  Not interested in a new one but somthing nice maybe up to £50 (pushing the boat out this time)  Am not into contracts as a fiver top up can last a couple or months or more with me.

Any idea's or suggections what to consider next.

Nokia N80, reasonably priced since the N95 came out

Looks nice, does the phone have to be slid open to recieve a call?

Obvious it has to dial a number.

Nope, just press the Answer button.

I used to have one, powerful phone, remember it runs Symbian S60 which is an O/S so it takes a while to boot.

Because its an OS its very powerful, you can run TomTom mobile on it, and lots other applications. But some people hate it due to the fact it runs an OS and not a bespoke system, as it can be very slow to use.

I now have a Nokia 6300, love it.

I like my Windows phones, esp my old touchscreen one, although I think its bounced too many times, as its a bit tempremental.

Not a fan of Windows Smartphones, but that is simply because I prefer the touchscreen.  I have an HP Smartphone, and its OK.  Biggest fault I can find is the voice activation prompts are Chinese American, and not understandable, and also when running TomTom, it takes over my phone kit in the car, stopping my tunes

Update - Thoughts and comments plaese.

Spoke to my sister last night, mentioned wanting a new phone.

She offered me her hardly usued Nokia N70 she had it unlocked and then had a better offer of a phone of a mate.

Her kids wernt bothered with it (apartly theirs were better) but one of em scanked the charger from the N70.

So was offered it for £40 complate (Box/manual etc), minus charger.

Is it a good/bad phone.

Can I run Tomtom Mobile on it. ?

Yes.

You will need an external bluetooth GPS reciver to get a satalite signal though. Around £50

[Mr Skrunts]

No probs there I allready have a Bluetooth GPS Reciever (Tontom) that I had for use with my PDA.

[Phil]

If you decide not to go for that i have an unlocked al but brand new Nokia N81, still has plastic on screen etc, used it for a couple of days pefered my old 9300i so ive now got an E90

It does all the sat nav gumph with Nokia maps built in and can also be used as an N-Gage, but never got round to finding out how

Anyway if your interested let me know
