Yes had a couple but have good cameras which is useful for travel. Out of the last lot I have had I think the n82 was the last time I was quite happy with a handset and thats going back a couple of years.

DT look at the Nokia E75 or Sony Ericsson X1 if you need a keyboard, the latest X1 firmware fixed so many of the issues.

Cheers Skinner, will do. It'll take a good write up to push me back to Sony Ericssons though. I got stung on a business contract for two straight forward K850i's, what a load od crap they were. Luckily both were with business insurance. Over 18 months, one was replaced 4 times, the other one 3 times. Without the insurance, I shudder to think how much it would have cost me. I still get cold sweats thinging about that deal!

I am currently on the bold - IIRC the curve has no wifi , and storm has no 3G - it could be the other way around - just double check those. Bold is a solid phone but camera is crap.

I love the push email on it, next handset probably a N97 once they sort the firmware out

I loved the bold, but the random restarts is why I looked to the new Curve 8900. It is the other way around, as I said before the Curve 8900 only lacks 3G. It has wifi as I use this regularly.

Blackberry bold resetting - Google Search I had this problem and half the people I know.

blackberry storm screen problems - Google Search I had this problem where the touch screen just locked and wouldnt work.

The list of errors is endless!

I have given the google links here so you can see the magnitude of the errors.

p.s. Rob i liked the look of the n97 but I've had the N series (80/83/92) before they are useless.

Seriously, I've had no issue with my Curve 8900 then again I have only had this one a month as previously used the Bold.

I love the new Nokias too now, but BBM has become such a great tool, I can't imagine not having it.

The 850 was a bastardised k800 and they did a rubbish job of it, Sony have a deadline where they have to release new phones, and the k850 was one of them and the p1i was another.

What the deal with that stupid 'wannabe a touch screen' deal on the k850 and the multi-directional keypad on the p1i ?

p1i .... GRRRRRR

The whole P series makes me get like lee owen.

I had the p1i for pretty much 8 hours in total before I took it back heh.

The p900 was the last decent one, when they started to mess with Qwery Keyboards they just had no clue, I lived with the p910 as it was almost the same, the p990 was the last one I owned (and still have).

I remember being amazed when I had my p800 replaced coz I cracked the screen, suddenly my p800 wasn't black and white, it had a colour screen, what simple things amazed me back then

Yeh, three heat sensitive(?) white dots above the keypad/beneath the screen. You would touch one, then fuck off and make a cup of tea whilst the phone responded. What a joke, lol!

I've had the Bold for nearly a year now. Best phone I have had to date and I have had a few. Only isue I have is it can be a bit large too pocket sometimes.

It did reset on occasion but the firmware upgrade sorted this out.

Still reckon this to be the best qwerty / email phone. I looked at the 8900 but the quality of build did not compare to the Bold. The Storm is just not my thing being a touchy touchy phone.

Voda also do a deal on the roaming at the moment.

once you get used to the touchscreen the storm is a great mobile, new updates always coming out, did one the other day and it gave me a new keyboard layout.
