Not really the right place to be asking about nokia's ;)

I know a lot of people like the N95 but i have also heard it's not the best at GPS. There are quite a few WM devices emerging that also have GPS built in now.

What you need to think about is how much money would you like to spend on a new device/contract and with what provider?

Upgrading with your existing network is not always the best option and you would be advised to look around for good offers depending on your usage.

One example is Tmobile have tarriffs that also include CoPilot and if you intend to use a lot of data they also have good rates.

At the end of the day shop around, you may be surprised as to what you can get with your money.

As already said, really is a case of exactly what you want, I'm with orange myself and got the omnia free on both £35 contracts that I have with them (also managed to get them to include the online discount to lower the monthly discount to £30 for the dolphin 35 tariff).

Orange has a pretty good selection of phones at the moment, Omnia and HTC Touch Diamond to name but two that are far better than the N95 (which bearing in mind is still a pretty good phone even though it's nudging 16 months old). I've had one since the day they were released and the only problem I've ever had with crashing if you can call it that is the web browser closing down due to memory issues but never had an actual "crash" but I did de-brand it and kept up to date with all the latest firmwares.
