So - I'm up for renewal. Do I plumb for something like the Nokia E61 (which doesn't look a whole lot more interesting than my XDA exec) or do I hold out for the very tasty looking:

Toshiba G900?

I want that resolution to have my babies (800x480 vs iphone's 320x480)

Advice from the guru's appreciated.

The E61 is about as good as my E70. Avoid at all costs.

That Toshiba is running Microsoft's latest ham-fisted attempt at an operating system.

Conclusion: Buy some Apple shares and wait for the iPhone.

hahaha how have your shares been doing? =)

Performing as expected.

Hmm indeed the are:

when did you buy?

16-Nov-06 and 09-Jan-07

The increase has more than covered my losses on John Kerry and Ken Clarke.

Speaking of shares, have you seen the recent increase in the LSE share price? Apparently we are going to jump in and take OMX from under Nasdaq's nose. That oughta piss them off a bit more. The share price was about 880p when I started last March. It is now 1411p. Coincidence? If only I'd sodding bought some.

I vote for a 'Stock Tips' forum so that Pete and Sam can help us all get rich.

i did look at that toshiba when it was first announced... seems to tick all the boxes. no idea when it'll be available though

also i'm not convinced by toshiba as a phone manufacturer. its not like this is a rebranded htc phone like all the others...

as for the iphone.... give me a break pedro...

you're only here stiring up intrest doing a covert viral advertising pitch for apple to increase your shares value!

i upgraded to the nokia n95, knowing it'd be a pile of shit, so i could sell it on ebay. the only annoyance would be battling those bloody nigerian wankers who buy everything listed under buy it now and try and rip you off. luckilly enough, a guy at work wanted to offer me £280 for it.... job done.

im sticking with my m3100 until convinced otherwise. i'll upgrade again in another 8 months and make another £300 if nothing worth having is out...

tmobile ameo looks quite fun though

How about this bad boy?

Sidekick 3

I realise it's probably shit to use, but a mate of mine has one and I could flick the screen in and out all day.

That Ameo / HTC Athena does sound cool but it sure looks butt ugly. I generally don't care about looks but that is something else. Reminds me of those 1970's flat calculators you sometimes find.

Might have considered one but at $2000 US prob unlikely to be a free upgrade option!

The toshiba is definitely intriguing me. I might have to dip my toes in that pond when it is out.
