Mobile Phones

Don't know if there is a thread for this yet!

But I just need a little assisstance buying a phone, the things I want in it are the N73 plus WiFi, but not the N80. Anybody have any ideas?

Would it be better and cheaper to buy nearer Christmas?

Most likely.

I'm not sure about your other criteria. Do you have any certain providers in mind (i.e. verizon wireless, cingular, virgin mobile, bellsouth, ameritech, alltell, etc.)? Do you also have a preference for the manufacturer (i.e. nokia, motorola, kyocera, etc.)?

I'm in the UK, prefer not to be on 3G, otherwise no preference!

I recommend something simple. Cameras and other "accessories" only cheapen the overall quality of the other components. You should focus on speaker quality, voice quality, and battery life.

I agree but, I for me camera's and other accessories are important. I want a phone that will last a while, also when looking for one, I look for what has the basics and alot more. I don't want to get bored of it after a short period.

You're really MUCH better off getting them as separate units. A cellular camera limits you in quality, zoom, and flexibility. A didigtal camera takes away those limitations and allows you to better choose what you want.

A phone isn't really something to be excited about. It does a simple thing and that's it.
