new 8800 looks very nice


Nokia has whipped the dust sheets off a pair of devilishly sleek new 3G versions of the deluxe 8800, suitably christened the Arte and Sapphire Arte.

The 8800, in all its posh guises, has received flak for being all style and no substance, but this fresh double-act is hoping to redefine the range. Sure, it's not shying from it's luxury roots with its swooping sports car lines and rich anti-fingerprint metal and glass finish, but the inclusion of 3G connectivity for fast Internet access along with a new 3.2-megapixel shooter and 1GB of built-in storage promises to catapult the 8800 into the realms of credible high-performance handset.

hopefully the battery won't be shite like the last one

like the simplicity of the Samsung J200,

all I need to be able to do with my phone is to make phone-calls and send texts.

Can anyone give me the lowdown on the new Samsung phones? What is the main difference between the U600 and the U700?

And is the G600 a better phone than them both??

Thanks!

Ok need a bit of advice.

I am currently on PAUG with 02 and i spend about 40 quid on top ups a month. I thought i might aswell get a contract phone. I have no idea what the best phone is at the moment - please advise.

Dunno how you can be spending 40quid when you look at their online tarrifs
I never top up more than £20 a month. Plus you can pay another fiver and get 10 o2 numbers for free minutes and texts every month. Sounds like you gettin raped.

Phone up 02 and change your plan, cunts wont do it for you unless you ask. See how it goes for like a month or so then if you still want a contract tell em what your money goes on etc etc

Might go out to the phone shops later.

I get abuse from phone people because i have the D600 still Laughing out loud

I have to change it because when i pull it out (no homo) i get raised eyebrow's.

Is there a phone that is like a mp3 player (not iphone).

if you do most of your talking when drunk - ie off-peak - have a look at O2's off-peak deals. I just switched to a SIM-only deal, 1500 off-peak minutes and 500 texts a month for 15 quid. kept my existing number, and you can cancel with just a month's notice, you're not tied in to an 18 month contract. you could just see how it goes for a couple of months and then decide if you need to upgrade to a "proper" contract

My shine is completely wankered.

Not had it that long and the screen is cracked, twice, and the back is scratched to pieces.

Looks like a Viewty is the way to go.
