hi there, im looking for advice again. Im lookngn at getting a new phone, one with all the bells and whistles and cant decide which. im hoping some of you have either looked or got these and can tell me which you reccommend.

Nokia E71

Nokia N56

Blackberry 8900

Blackberry 9000

I want one that has a good menu system preferably as similar to a pc or laptop as possible, one that can surf the internet as a pc would so i can go on sites like this and they actually look like they do on my laptop. I also want the gps and mappng sofetware to be pretty good, i know its not gonna be exactly os map standard but something that is at least pretty accurate.

If anyone can help out there please do as i would be very gretefull.

Have you tried that phone?  what do you think of it. Ive just been looking at the blackberry's and actually didnt think too much of them, theres hidden costs when using the internet and maooing software apparently. At this point im heading in the direction of the nokia E71.

Anyone else with any thoughts?

I also want a new mobile 'cos mine's died (Nokia 5210). In contrast to you, I want no bells & whistles, no camera, no desire to text, surf the web, play music or games; simply switch it on, make a call, switch it off again. I want bog standard, tough as old boots, cheap. Any suggestions?

I had that F3 and found it to be the most frustrating thing ever....but indeed it is cheap, no nonsense and the battery lasts ages...i broke mine by droping and treading on it...i am a bit clumsy with phones though.
