I am ordering a new phone this afternoon, i can pretty much choose what one i want. But im not up on whats around and which are good. A blackberry and an i phone have been suggested?? What would you go for if you had complete choice across all makes and models btw im on O2. thank you

I still think that the Nokia N95 is the best phone on the market. Although it doesn't have the touch screen and good looks of the iphone it makes up for that with its functionality.
It has Wi-fi, 3.5G (almost broadband speed browsing), video calling, sat-nav, mp3 player with extendanble memory slot, you can watch Sky TV Live on it, instant messaging client including Skype calling which is FREE!, google maps, Internet radio + loads more...
It is a symbian S60 phone which means that there are loads of new applications being written regularly for it.
I'm due a new phone soon but there isn;t anything that can compare to it yet so I'll be witing until there is.

Don't get an iPhone - there are issues with security of your data at the moment and there is a new upgraded version coming out soon so anything you get now will be out of date in a few months.

The Blackberry is useful if you have to check your email anywhere, but it's not overly cheap and without being rude, are you really that important that your email can't wait until you get to a computer. That's what the guy said to me when I was looking at one.

As Matt says, the Nokia N95 is a good phone if you like Nokia models, any of the new Sony Ericsson Walkman phones are good as well. It all comes down to which model you prefer - if you get a chance go to a shop this afternoon and have a look at them

Cakeboy: care to expand on your 'security issues' claim about the iPhone?

The iPhone is great. But if you don't ever need to browse websites or check email while you're out and about, it'll be wasted on you.

N95 is also great, for all the reasons above.

Most of the SE phones are good too.

I'm personally not a fan of the Samsungs, and especially Motorolas.
