lol

Nope, no iPhone here. My trusty 6310i is still rated by many as the best phone out there and as a phone I agree. Cept it's starting to die, so I need a replacement. Dammit.

The iPhone is the first PDA phone (and a couple of the very new phones) to tempt me for years as it has some applications I want like google maps and some IM's, not to mention the oh so sexy UI.

On the downside it is still expensive, esp if you go for an unlocked prepay one, there are a few bugs and the 3G coverage in many countries is lacking. So I think I'll wait for some of those issues to go away.

I'm wondering about another 6310i (yep, still unused ones on eBay for £40 - £70!) or perhaps a Nokia E65 to get some IM's and Google Maps.

Any alternative suggestions?

2pints that's a good phone. The retros are sought after.

Discovered a new bug the other day. Keep your favorites empty, otherewise, even if you have a PIN lock for your phone, you can still go to the favorites and thus all other functions. Meaning no lock at all.

Solution is, not to lose your phone.

I bailed the iPhone.
Ended up with the Nokia 95i 8gb.

Hopefully by the time my contract is done Apple will have added to the capabilities of the phone.
