Ladies, a fairly general question however my mobile phone about to c*rap itself (It won't even TEXT anymore!) and I am thinking of getting a new one. All of these i phones, blackberries, blueberries etc confuse the bejezus out of me so would like some opinions on what phone I should get. I'm not completely un ''tech savvy" so it can have some fancy features i.e camera, holds mp3, etc, however ideally something that doesn't freeze up and give me trouble (like my existing touch screen Nokia music thingo). Something that isn't too hard to use but nothing too basic either. Tell me, what is the coolest phone out there at the moment? Are iphones that great? what does it do that other phones dont and how much am I looking at to buy it outright? I know this stuff is easy to google but I want real live opinions not tech geek talk. Thanks ;)

Mmm you hit on a good point. If you get an iphone you have to make sure you get the right package, as I see so many people getting ridiculous bills as they underestimated the amount of data they use. The BB packages seem to be better.

I never had a bb so I can't compare but I do have an iPhone. I have one in the US which I love and one here. The one here is annoying to be frank. It is so sensitive that it is constantly disconnecting, switching to FaceTime, I mean if I breathe the screen switches. The bills have been high also compared to my friends with bb's. And seems many out here have bb's and are more connected that way. The apps are fun. I think you should go test one out and see how you like the touch screen Good luck

Well it really depends what you want out of a phone. If you're into apps, then iphones are better for that, but if you want something that does exactly what it says on the tin then get a Blackberry. I love my Blackberry. You can install an app called whatsapp onto any smart phone for free smsing. But like ping and BBM it requires a data connection. Also have a look at the Samsung Galaxy - lovely little phone.

I say get an iPhone too. I have one & love it. I wouldn't use anything else now. It's very easy to use, anticipates what I want to do (kind of freaky LOL). Plus the apps are cool :D

Kylie, all I can add is last Aug I got a new Nokia - what a piece of c*ap. My bf then gave my his old black berry and I love it. Best thing about it is that he also has one so all sms's are free as we BBM each other! He on the other hand also has a iphone which he loves!
