i have a friend who works at nokia designing phones and he showed me the original concept sketches for the 7900 and it looked even better, but then the people upstairs got hold of it and watered down the design. Sad

^^^ early review of the 7900.

it seems to have the same features as the 6500 classic.
2mp camera, 1gb internal memory etc.

I'm half way between the N95 and the K850i at the moment. Guy in 02 wanted me to get the N95 for some reason, and i am leaning that way due to the K850 being so easy to finger print.
Only concern about N95 is the battery and the size of it…
It almost has too many features lol

yeah i've had a go on one in the shop…

it ain't a nokia n95 or iphone in terms of extra functionality- ie it doesn't have gps or wi-fi, but camera/video/video playback and screen are good.

was concerned the interface would be slow or difficult to use but the menus aren't slow and typing stuff is easy and responsive.

just waiting for it to come into stock so i can order it as an upgrade

most useful info i have found about it is on this forum http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showthread.php?t=68887

other phone i was considering was the n95 8gb but it is gonna cost something like an extra £200 and i don't need the symbian or the thickness of it in my pocket!

I have just been offered an upgrade and can pretty much have any current phone on the market for free (k850i and n95 are going to cost £30)….

What would you guys suggest?

I'm leaning towards a Sony Ericsson W910i in Red…?

i reckon its pretty good. i only got a couple of hours ago but its easy enough to navigate around. the touchscreen is pretty good and responsive. had a little play about with the camera and camcorder - theyre really good. i was considering this or the n95 8gb but o2 didnt have the new n95 and i had an n73 before so i didnt really care for symbian and i dont need gps etc. basically i reckon its the best if youre just after a user friendly handset with a pretty decent camera/camcorder. supports divx and theres divx conversion stuff on the disc but i just usually watch movies on my touch if im on the go.

only worry is getting it scratched, doesnt seem to be any cover for the lens but you do get a little adhesive protector for the screen.
