Good point Steve, I have to say the n95 looks a very good phone but the one thing that isn't so good is the short battery life, ok so that will no doubt depend on how much you use stuff like bluetooth, gps etc but it's still not great..still I am very interested in the phone itself so this might just have to be part of the trade-off.

I think memory cards still have the edge for that reason alone. All the best Steve _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mervyn Robertson Sent: 31 October 2007 17:39 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Recommendations for a new mobile And the N95 8Gb version is even better! No micro SD cards to mess with, just a PC connection.

I moved to a Nokia N95 a few weeks ago and it the best phone I've ever had. Really fast in operation even with Talks running, very clear speech, uses micro SD cards so I can stick music and stuff on it, and all the features in the world. Shame its an expensive phone, but I cannot speak highly enough of it. ----- Original Message ----- From: phil <mailto:phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> stephenson To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2007 3:00 PM Subject: [access-uk] Recommendations for a new mobile Hi, Whilst querying my latest o2 bill last night I discovered I will be out of contract as of the end of November and so it's that time again to do some shopping around re phones & tariff's etc. the Tariff side of things I can look into myself but I was wondering if any of you good folk could give any comments / recommendations on the latest Symbion phones & talks vs smart phones with smart Hal. up until now I have had a Nokia with Talks and currently have an N70. I am after a phone that can do the usual e.g. call, mms, contacts, bluetooht etc but I am also very interested in more business like features such as push-to-email, gps etc - a bit like a Nokia version of a Blackbury. Anyway I'm at the early stages right now but would appreciate any of you giving me info on what you use and why you like it. A list of the current hadnsets that will take Talks would be useful too.
