Help me find the perfect smartphone!

[Guest Meatball1989]

Hi Modaco forum users :( I've been a long term looker on these forums and I've finally decided to register. I need some advice from you all. I've just got my first job so I'm earning enough so I can save up for a top-sec smartphone. I've put my specs etc in lists so it's easier (hopefully) Thanks for ANY help, I never knew it would be so hard to choose a smartphone :rolleyes:

The phone will be used for:

1) Web browsing (MAJOR)

2) IM, EMail, SMS, Calls

3) Taking pictures/videos

4) TV (If you find a phone that has it)

Specs (I would like):

1) QVGA Screen (I would like it to be a good size)

2) Wifi (MUST, Don't mind if it's just ;)

3) 3G(3.5g would be a bonus)

4) TV (I would LOVE to have tv on the phone, ideally not analogue due to the switch off)

5) WM5 or the latest symbian. I would prefer WM5 but I wouldn't mind a good symbian

6) A decent camera/video (I can sacrafice on quality)

7) I don't mind size/looks as long as it's not stupidly large/ugly

I've been looking at:

1) Nokia N92

2) Gigabyte G-Smart (I love the whole package accept it's analoge tv which is apparently poor)

3) Sony Ericsson P990i

(I will not be buying it for a couple of months, so if a phone is due out please post as well)

Now the only problem is I don't wont a contract phone, I'm to young! I MUST be able to buy it sim-free or via Pay&Go :-) My budget would be anything up to

first off where do u live. lol. cuz in the US theres no TV smartphones, basicly the only phones are the t-mobile sda, the STRTrK now known as the Cingular 3125, and the Cingular 2125. in the UK theres a much bigger selection. the phones iv seen that are just like those features u want are all the phones that Paul always posts on the news page. i would love to have one of those smartphones but their not out yet, adn if they were it probably wouldnt be in US yet.

rite now i think the t-mobile sda is the best cuz thats all there really is rite now.

i always like to think, what will smartphones be like a year from now? or 2 or 3 years from now? probably running on WIN32 u think?

Hi I'm in the UK. I'll have a look at Paul's posts cheers :rolleyes:

for a wm5 wifi smartphone, you only have the choice of a qtek8310 or imateSP5 (same phone). Both are really easy to aquire in the UK, sim-free, and tick all your other boxes
