Gotta agree.
The Nokia 6230 was a cracking phone.
Easy to make calls and text. B@llocks to all this fancy-dan rubbish about now.

All the older phones were better. Less things to go wrong with them.

I had a K750i. Belting little phone, never broke on me once.

You where one of the lucky few.

the joysticks on them used to fail all the time.

I just kept mine clean and it was fine.

The buttons started falling off after about 4years so i thought it was time to invest in a new one.

I've been looking at going down the contract route and want a HTC hero or HD2 what deal did you get? only looking at paying £25.

I'm paying £17 a month with Orange for my HTC Hero though i have been with them for a while now. Hero is doing just fine though my head is getting turned by the HD2. Looks a super piece of kit.

Still got my K750i as a backup in case the Palm Pre goes wrong. Belter of a phone, had it since 2 months after it came out (June 05) and no problems whatsoever. Its looking a bit worn and the camera slider thing is about to break but that aside, nothing wrong.

The camera was fantastic for just 2MP too.

Take a look at the HTC Legend and HTC Desire that are both due out next month. (Desire already available on TMobile)

i would say that about 1 in 3 that we sold back back faulty.

That phone put me off S.E. for life.

obviously you guys had a different experience with them.

Had a K750i for close on two years without a fault and the 610 before that, never had an issue with the joystick.

The C905 put me off SE for life. Now i have a Satio

I went looking at the HD2 today whilst in the trafford and yes it does look a fantastic bit of kit but i think i'd have to carry my rucksack everywhere as it would never fit into my pants pocket so think i may end up going for the Hero with the 2.1 upgrade. The missues wants a Palm Pre and the best offer the guy in the O2 shop would give me was £30 a month with 300mins unlimited texts/internet/WiFi but may have a word with my mate who works for O2 just to see if he could sort me a deal out

The Desire itself has a 1ghz processor www.techradar.com/reviews/phones ... ?artc_pg=1

I have the google g1 contract runs out next month & going to get the htc desire looks amazing & on par with a tw@ phone!

I've had numerous Samsungs and never once had a problem with them. Always been reliable for me, and as i said, never had any problems with them. I also know that Nokia are very reliable phones, hence its a tough decision and i'm still deciding. The only phone i've ever had a problem with was the Sony Ericsson W580i, the buttons kept cracking and some buttons would eventually stop working. I took it back and they sent me a new one, only for the same to happen again. I also no a few people that phone and they were having similar problems, so i'm not a fan of Sony Ericsson, although, it may just have been that model.
