Hi all.

A question for you good guys & gals.

I'm thoroughly bored with my existing mobile.

I'd really like a P900, but I don't feel I'll get my moneys worth out of it.
Originally, I wanted it to read ebooks, listen to MP3s, and as a PIM. Since
having had a baby however, the need for the first ones has diminished
greatly, so I'm basically paying £500 (over the first year, one way or
another) for some shiny kit. My mobile use is pretty low (less than
£10/month, most calls on peak to land line & orange) , so weighing up a
cheap phone & expensive contract or a sim-free phone I'm still looking at ~
£500 over the 1st year, which I'd rather put towards a car.

I was seriously considering a Nokia 3510i, but I've seen an awful lot of
reviews which say the phone stops working, the screen's crap, the speaker
stops working etc. It _looks_ highly unreliable. Is the "Lower" res screen
_really_ that bad?

I've seen this for £60 upwards on Orange PAYG (register the sim, and swap my
OVP Virgin & the new PAYG sim & I'm sorted)

The next sort of price band is the ~£200 band. I can get a colour Nokia with
the better res screen (128*128 rather than 96*whateveritis) for this much,
but I can also get a P800 (which seems to be 95% P900) for the same price.

My "wants" are...

* Cheap
* PAYG (pref Orange) or SIM free
* Reliable
* Colour screen (higher res the better)
* Poly ringtones
* The ability to upload details, images, tones via a PC
* GPRS
* Bluetooth (for hands free)
* Email (POP3 would be nice, but "Orange email" would do.
* WWW would be nice, WAP would do.
* Tri band would be nice, but not vital.
* IRDA would be nice, but not vital.
* Camera would be nice, but not vital.

I've always been a bit wary of brands like LG, having seen the crud they
release in other electronic markets.

I'm open to recommendations from other manufacturers.

A thousand thanks,

Pete.
