Which phone next?

[Guest ivor biggun]

I've been distanced from the smartphone world for about twelve months now but previous to that I started with a original SPV, then MPX200, E200 and C500. I've got rid of the others and stuck with my MPX200 but it has finaly given up the ghost ( i think the on-board fuse for the charging system has blown) and I'm well out of contract and on PAYG now so an upgrade is out of the question. I've been tempted with the Motorola V3i lately but i think i will miss a smartphone so... Do i go for a C600 or change to a M600 or M2000? I'm tempted with the latter two due to the built in wireless capabilities but are they useable as a day to day phone, i do alot of texting!

Any suggestions, complaints, experiences or other appreciated! ;)

M600 only has on-screen input, which has no tactile feedback and therefore isn't as easy to quickly write messages. In my experience. I love the phone though.

The M2000 is huge in comparison, but does have a hardware keyboard as you probably know by now.

I've just got a Wizard (MDA Vario, QTEK 9100, K-JAM), having used a Prophet (M600) for a few months. The hardware keyboard is nice, but the extra size is not so hot. The Prophet was great, but the screen has started to get dead spots from the amount of on-screen writing I'm doing.

Can't have it both ways I guess.

Personally I'd go for the M600 and set PhonePad as your default Input Method (it's got bigger phone-style buttons which are easier for one-handed texting).
