LG Viewty??

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Should I get one? or are they a pain?? or should I get the new Sony Ericsson k850

anyone who's got either please help! ta

the viewty is shit.

depends what you want in a phone really, I don't get on with the keypad layout of the K850

Spoke to a mate that works as a Vodafone rep. He recommends the K800i (still) as the most useful phone on the market. The k850i keyboard layout is PANTS. The N95 is meant to be the best phone on the market, but the firmware ain't all that firm (more like jelly-ware).

Apparently Samsung are releasing a version of the Viewty in the near future that is meant to be very good. Couldn't you just buy Dwayne's iPhone?

My girlfriend has the viewty, does the job. but nothing special. i find as a bloke the keypad (touchscreen) rather hard to use, think better for dainty female fingers.

cool, I've got a k800i now so it seems a little silly to upgrade to the new 850i if its not that good. Who's selling an iphone

The firmware is fine, so long as you update it to the latest version. The battery life, however, is absolutely abysmal. I can only assume that Nokia plucked their "225 hours of standby time" figure out of the air as I'm charging mine every three days or so.

I'm sticking with my k800i for a while as well, even though I do have sellotape holding the battery cover on, and the joystick is starting to become less responsive.

I've got the K850 and would not recommend it. I actually bothered to fill in the Carphone Warehouse questionnaire about it (I really must get myself a life) listing why it was shite. But my main gripe – and what a load of shit is this? – is that it has a very sharp edge at the top of the handset and it actually makes my ear sore during calls! Piss poor.

Good camera, mind.

get the 810 i
its basically an updae of the k800i , hardly any difference

the missus has just got the 850i and i have to agree the keypad is tricky and the navigation keys are horrible
also the touch sensitive keys dont work that well

Been playing with the Nokia N82 this week, it is excellent. Has WiFi, 5MP camera, 25FPS video, 2GB memory card. really great photos, video is superb (best I've seen in a phone) also the image on the sreen rotates when you tip it sideways, makes for acceptable web browsing on either WiFi or 3G. Worth a look.

I am going to get an N82 at the end of the month when my upgrade is due, it is the best phone around at the moment.
