Buying new phone

[MrTub]

Well I'm looking for a new mobile phone and I'm quite interested in Nokia N97, so I'm wondering if anybody here has one and can say if they like it or not and why. I would also like people to post another phones that I might have missed. My budget is around 7000kr which is about 1000$. I would like a phone with a decent camera & good music function and I would also like it to have a big keyboard (like the Nokia n97).
Would appreciate any help from the great escapist!


-Edit- I've seen that a lot of people have recommended Iphone. It might be a great phone but I already got a samsung f480 so it wouldn't be such a difference and I don't really like the iphone :/

....Does the $1000 account for the monthly payments of the phone?
I had that phone, and it was good, except I traded it in for a free one.

Get the iPhone it can cure cancer, well the way my dad goes on about it , it should be able to

$1000 on a mobile phone? What has the world come to?! People buy desktop computers for that kind of cash!

For that kind of cash, I can't make a reccomendation. My phone's worth $150 (estimated), so you're a few miles above. Try the I-Phone.

Well either for monthly payment or either one time payment

 

[MrTub]

Ah, yes, Sweden! Me too yey!

OT: I'm going to get a Ultratouch.
It seems nice, decent camera, it's the only touch with a keyboard (as far as I know), and I don't know about music

Nokia n97 also got. I got a samsung f480 quite liked it but got bored after 1 yr

Get the iPhone it can cure cancer, well the way my dad goes on about it , it should be able to

Well I already got a touch mobile so it wouldn't be such a big difference, and I don't really like to send sms with a touch phone

I guess just get the iPhone if you got that kinda cash.

I wish I had one.

I like the palm pre. It's not perfect, but it's very fun to play with, and the Linux based webOS is very stable.

I got it on day one, and it's pretty darn neat. Could use some more apps, but all in due time.

Believe me, there is a massive difference between the iPhone and the Samsung f480. The Samsung phone is really quite bad; I have used other peoples samsung f480s and I was extremely disappointed. I had the LG Viewty before i purchased my iPhone 3G and because both are touch screen i assumed that the upgrade would be minimal. I was so wrong in this respect. The iPhone is the standard, and its a standard that no other phone can really get to.

I would highly recommend it, and I would recommend it on the app store alone if touch screens aren't your thing just because there is so much great stuff on there.

That, or the HTC Hero looks pretty cool too...

Well one of the reason I don't want to buy a iphone is that is really common in Sweden more then 50% of the ppl in my class got one. But you're right the iphone is a great phone and I would probly have bought if it wasent so common. HTC Hero looks pretty cool, definitely going to cheak it out

Don't get an iPhone. JAK will go mental at you. Personally, Blackberry Storm. They're fairly awesome
