Hi gents,
As per the norm I am writting on here to ask for input on a technological purchase. My Blackberry Bold is on its last legs and I am up for an upgrade on my current contract. The costs of the contract are errelevant because for a a bit extra I'd rather have a phone that meets all my needs and is good and reliable.
I was prefering (prior to my own research) a non-touch-screen phone, however all the phones with the best functionality seem to be touch screen. Due to this I have seen;
Blackberry Storm, IPhone, HTC Desire and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Perhaps a decent Nokia if someone can suggest it.
What I require from a phone, above the standard stuff is pull emails, internet browsing, quad band, good functionality for texting/emails and for it to be reliable with aslong a battery life as possible.
Blackberry Storm looked good but reviews I have read are that people have a lot of problems.
IPhone is the favourite for all, but as it's a more common phone I am keen to find an alternative.
HTC Desire is at the moment my leading choice due to reviews and the functionality of the device.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is a new one but doesn't seem too special?
I am aware that a new IPhone is due out soon and I think a new HTC is due out in the summer also, however with my phone being as poor as it is I need a new one asap, so please base any recommendations on what is currently available.
I'm just keen for some input...
