I’m thinking about renouncing my status as a Sony Ericsson fanboy and switching to a Nokia phone :o.
I was planning on getting the k850i but CNet didn’t like. Unfortunately I tend to let CNet tell me what to think. After all, they said they were an honest bunch of guys.
I got looking at the Nokia N95 8GB which seems rather snazzy and has somewhat captured my imagination. While I’m sure the k850i has many of these features it has lured me with promise of GPS, wifi, 8GB internal storage, a 5 megapixel camera, no annoying camera lens that opens every time you take it out of your pocket and best of all – a standard 3.5mm audio jack.
It’s not all good. The battery life will be shockingly bad which will be annoying (might have to keep a travel phone around, I’ve just replaced the battery in my k800i and am now enjoying only having to charge ever 5 days or so). Also the GPS downloads maps on the fly which means monster data usage. This does however give me an excuse to pay for the mobile internet dealie (£7.50 for 120mb a month bandwidth).
If I do go with the Nokia it means sticking with Vodaphone as o2 want £100 for it on the same priced price plan which means I still won’t be getting a signal in Stylus. But on the plus side I will continue to get a signal in my own home :D.
