Right so my current mobile phone contract is coming to an end and I'm going to upgrade my phone to a newer model. I've narrowed my choices down to two phones:

Samsung Soul (http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/0,39030107,49296867,00.htm)

LG Secret (http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/0,39030107,49296711,00.htm)

There's not much to choose between the two and I'm torn. What say you NSG?! Which shall I choose?!

I have a Sony Ericsson K850i - It kicks ass.

I won't be getting a mobile phone. First chance I get, I'm getting a Laptop with Wi-Fi.:D

Nokia or Sony... Heard of so many problems with Samsungs and LGs

That, or a Motorola Dynatac (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_DynaTAC)

How much for the LG secret?! You have more money than sense. And if you're getting the phone free on your contract then you must have even more money and less sense than I originally estimated.

Nope. I phoned T-Mobile and I can get it on a 15 GBP a month contract.

It's a phone, get one with features you'll use.

I currently have that cheap virgin deal. £10/month, no new phone, 200 anytime minutes and 200 texts.

A lot of companies you could get both with the phone

My DASH plugs in via USB and will act as a Cell card and shares its internet with a laptop

Used to do it a tone when I worked security

Transferring my old deal over which is 750 minutes and 50 free texts. I call a lot more than I text. The length is 18 months.

The new version has exchange interface capabilities that almost sorta work semi reliably!

The iPhone is not an option. Even on a contract that thing is well too expensive.

After 2 years on NSG I failed to pick up this sarcasm. I have brought shame to myself. *commits seppuku*

I must try better i thought the "sorta works semi reliably" gave it away with that many qualifiers lol
