what phone to get? help!

[sn3rd]

I've been due for upgrade since January, and I've been putting it off because, quite simply, there hasn't been any decent deal available that's caught my fancy.

I've been keeping my eye on a few phones though:

SE W890i
SE W960i
SE P1i
Nokia N82

I have yet to find a W890i available. I can't find any VC outlets that have a clue about the W960i. The P1i has an approximately R1500 pay-in on my Weekender contract, but at Vodaworld, it's apparently R499. I called the Vodashop there, but they're not particularly helpful. Apparently the P1i is unavailable due to some hardware issues? That's strange... I know a few people that use the P1i and they only have good things to say. Then there's the N82... great phone, but FAR too expensive.

Anyone know of any decent deals on these phones? Or can suggest other phones?

I quite like the htc tytn II, but it's probably also really expensive.

gf has one... she fsking hates it... but then again she's a big nokia fangirl

her comments:

• doesn't dig the menu's (not very intuitive - whatever the hell she means by that )
• not keen on contacts search
• has to switch the phone off and on again every second day cos it just hangs on her

[edit - o ja and she had to pay in just over 2 jimmies to get the phone on contract]

I love my TyTN II. It's about the 15th phone I've had this year, and the only one that I've liked enough to keep for more than a couple of days!

Where can I get a working Nok 6210 or 6310 oe Ericsson 197/198 in Jozi?

Hmmm... what were its strong points that convinced you? I'm looking for a phone that's pretty stable and above all, USABLE. Good looks are a bonus

From sn3rd's list, I would opt for the SE W960i. In fact, I would even port my number to an MTN Procall contract to get that phone "for free", rather than pay in on a Voda contract

I think I'd gladly defect to MTN if it meant I could get the W960i. But what outlets have them? I've read a few people say that they are available, but haven't been able to find any myself

N95 8GB by far...
