Looking for a new phone at the moment had my eye on the Nokia N73 and the LG Veiwity, mainly due to their camera quality LG has a 5 mega- pixel camera and also looks pretty good. Just thought i'd get a few reconmendation for you guys anything intresting you have?? Few Intresting camera shots taken?? Would be nice to see what people have.

Sony Ericsson K850i, Samsung G800l, LG Viewty and the Nokia N95 all have excellent cameras. The K850i and Samsung especially as its the only camera on the market with a full 3x optical zoom! - these are all 5mp models.

Ive just got my hands on a brand new K810i and its absolutely fantastic. Its 3.2mp camera is just soo good its unbeleiveable! Now i dont have to lug my D80 around with me everywhere to get good shots

Thats the same as the TMobile MDA Vario III and another one of the o2 XDAs lol

Very good phones - more functional if you use all your emails on the go and ms word/excel etc

I, atm, am still using my Sony Ericsson P990i - its an awesome phone, i just have no use for all the business level features (thats what ive got mobile broadband for

)

I also like the LG but going from past experiences LG build quality is not that great and they are prone to breaking. Not saying this is going to be the same but keep it in mind.

Yep! the O2 call it the Stella. I just call it the Kaiser as that was its design name.

Yeah not really feeling the PDA sort of phones with excell and that big keypad really. More on the side of normal phones with excellent camera quailty and features. I heard LG's werent that great, so the veiwty is out my options now. Looking at the Nokia's and Sony Ericssons. Talking to Alex ealier and the sony erricson that he got the K810i has really got my attention. At the moment, i've got the moto L7 basically just pure crappness and i think it's time for an upgrade it's just basically a phone for those who just ring and text really nothing that attracts your attention. i think the reason why i bought it was it was the slimest phone around at that time

. Big mistake turned out to be crap and weighed alot!

If I were you I'd buy a Nokia 6300 Â£70/Â£80 on p&g or the N73 for Â£100 p&g.

If you look in the right o2 stores you might well get an unlocked one.

I'v got the LG Viewty and the vamera etc is pretty good! but it has bloody loads of options which i dont even have clue as to what they are lol! I'm not really into my photography lol! The thing that really really annoys me is the scrolling option on the phone! Since its just a touch screen, you use the wheel at the back to scroll up and down! Now....you would assume that if you push the wheel to the right(so its moving clockwise ie to the right) that it would scroll down the way. And vice versa, pull the wheel to the left (anti clockwise) it would scroll up!!! Well actually it doesn't Its the opposite! colockwise to go up and anti clockwise to go down! Now this really f*****g bugs my happyness!

Its a small thing, but really f*****g annoying cos it just doesnt make sense at all!!

Also, when typing a message n stuff, if you want to go back up to the start or middle of the message its a complete nightmare, beacause 1. for some extremely stupid reason, you cant use the scroll wheel at the back when typin a message. You have to use the tiny little onscreen slider, which is next to impossible if using your fingers! You do have the pen, but arsed carrying that around everywhere i go!!

Now these are pretty minor little things, but make everyday use of the phone pretty annoying and if i had knowon about, wouldnt even have bothered with it!!

Still a decent phone though lol

Ahh yeah i have used that phone. My sister has it, pretty impresssive i must admit. Also very,very thin! You would have thought it would have snaped in your pocket! Theres so many mobiles these days to purchase but i would agree with Dee-vub little things like that woud drive me round the bend but i'm sure you can change the settings of the wheel cant you?? to reverse the spin wheel movement??The thing i love about the veiwty is the back of the phone looking like an actual camera. It's a 5 megapixel camera right is it any good? In the sense of features like anti-blur and little effects ect but the phone is pretty simliar to the Apples Iphone however the iphones pretty crap apperently

i'll do a bi of research into that though!

I'v trawled through the phone and there is notyhing to suggest the direction of the wheel can be changed....will try again though.

It is a good phone and has loads of camera features! And agreed, love how it actually looks liek a camera! In all fairness i'm not bothered how good the camera is, i just take photos when i am drunk normally lol!

Haha, i actually do take a few snaps on the phone when i'm out here and there, so camera is important for me if you do find that you change on th spin wheel could you just post up on here as i'm really thinking about this phone and alex's reconemdation of the k810i two really good phones that have got my intrest
