Orange Phone - feature selection - upgrade.

Hi,

looking to upgrade my Orange phones (on an old Talk150 plan at the moment
with two phones sharing).

I have tried searching the Orange site but it doesn't seem to offer a
checklist facility to select the phone that matches your needs.

You can look at all MP3 phone, or all Bluetooth phones, but not all phones
with MP3 and bluetooth :-(

My requirements:
Tri-band (or better)
Bluetooth
Camera with at least 2 Megapixels resolution (1.3Mp might be OK)
MP3 (including MP3 ringtone)
Storage card (memory expansion)

I am assuming that all Bluetooth camera phones will be able to print to a
Bluetooth photo printer. If not, printer compatibility is an additional
requirement.

I have a Nokia 6310i at the moment which does me very well, but doesn't
have the latest generation of goodies.

I think I am tied to Orange because not many (if any) other providers
allow you to have two phones sharing the same Talktime.

I am not really concerned about 3G because I currently have no need for
the high bandwidth data and the coverage is not that extensive.

However if a supplier is buying market share by offering ridiculously
cheap 3G deals I might be tempted :-)

TIA
Dave R

I'd say get a SonyEricsson K750i, a great mobile which makes my 6310i seem
rather old fashioned. The only thing the 6310i beats the K750i for is
battery life, but then the Nokia beats everything on that count.
Otherwise, I rate the K750i as top dog right now.

Taking that into account you only have 4 choices. The SonyEricsson W800i
or K750i, the Samsung D600 or the Nokia N70, all of which do all of the
jobs you listed, so choose the one you like the look of.
