I'm looking for a new phone. My criteria are it must be a Nokia, I want it to have bluetooth and a good camera, not a s**t one. Prefer xD memory slot too but if its another format its not the end of the world. Not really keen on a flip phone either. Any suggestions?

Mate, I'd HIGHLY recommend a Nokia N95. They are fantastic phones and give you virtually EVERYTHING in one unit. It's 5 MP Camera with flash, microSD slot, 640x480 30fps video, built-in radio, GPS System, mp3 player and slide design (not flip). I've had mine for a little while (having upgraded from a Samsung) and never looked back since.

That's another of my criteria actually, I'd prefer something reasonably small.

Nokia N82, does everything the N95 does, except smaller (which sadly means smaller screen), and it's candybar shape (personally I prefer as they're harder to break when i drop them), and it has a better camera flash (Xenon as opposed to LED).

i do not know why people still insist on buying nokia's
n95's are crap have all the features but they also tend to break more than any other phone on the market at the moment.

best phones going about atm are samsungs new range and they use the ssame symbian operating system as the nokia.

Ive had so many people say they've had software issues with nokia's. The GPS is good, but is f**k slow as. if you were caught in the wilderness with one you'd be dead before it picked up reception.

SonyEricson i have found VERY reliable and user friendly. And theres a gps add-on kit you can buy for them.

hopefully my next phone will be an Iphone

but if its a nokia, the n95 it is i suppose

I think n95's are pretty overrated. Just like my 6110 navigator i bought. GPS takes forever to locate you if you don't use your carrier's towers (which costs money) to find you, they are slow at times, menus can be tricky and battery life sucks the big one. I sell maybe 1 or 2 (telstra have s**t plans) a month and i usually have the customer come back and whinge about something.
