My C905 is bust again & O2 have no stock. They have given me a choice of either:
Samsung Pixon
LG Renoir
Nokia N95 (Silver)
or wait for a C905
No idea what any of these are like, but I know that the N95 is a bit old now!
Thoughts? Anyone know these inside out? (Mr Jambo)

They won't dish them out as I'm not on an iPhone tariff
I do actually have an iPhone 1st gen, could do with the software updating though as I bet it's quite far behind!

I might've guessed that the Pixon would be crap!
I was thinking of asking about the E71 but I notice it's disappeared from them their website. Everyone seems to love them even if they are a bit on the big side
What's the Renoir like then? Much like the viewty?

Pixon isnt bad.......................for a Samsung
E71 is cool, Renoir is pretty much Viewty mk2 so all same menus etc just a bit revised and feshned up, touch is more responsive too.

Just rang up, apparently they're the only 3 they can offer but I asked why & they started to change their mind a bit
Can't have an E71 as it's classed as a PDA, where as my C905 is classed as a camera handset (  )
They've added the N96 to that list now, but not the N95 8GB. How strange

I love my N95 8GB so out of that list I'd go for the N96, no doubt.

Depends what you want really.
I love my E71 and the qwerty keyboard now i'm used to it and I don't like slidey out phones, can't beat the stainless steel either instead of cheap plastic.

The E71 isn't as big as it first looks.
It's not that much wider than my E51 and it's thinner, fits in my pocket nicely, which was another thing I was worried about at the start.

N96 is cack, sold mine to Mazuma mobile for £220!
Then sold the box on ebay for £25!
The N96 feels really poorly made, the slider gets clodded up with shit and starts to feel rough, the actual mechanism started to rattle (tightened up the screws but this didnt help)
Battery lasts about 10 hours with making one or two very short calls - very poor.
Software was very slow..
the list goes on, im waiting for the HTC magic when my contract runs out this month

Pointless asking anything on here Matt, you should know that!
How many times do people ask for opinions and someone replies with "its crap", "I've had one" or "should have bought"!!!
Just pick the one you want!

Why the fuck are they offering you old phones for your C905?
How many times has it broke? on the third time you can request a brand new phone (not a recon or reapir), speak to the complaints department and fire some fucks at them, theyre pretty helpful when your pissed off.
The third time my C902 broke i went nuts and they send me a brand new N96
