That screen video looks the business, this website is excellent for phone specs and comparisons: http://www.gsmarena.com/

Yeah it's a good site, I'd looked at the preview of the phone on it. gsmarena/lg.bl40

What package do you use for internet on your iphone SJ and is it any good.

Sorry SJ, you'd already answered my question and I'd missed it.

Dunno about the Nokia, I never even look at them as I prefer something a bit different.

Just looking at it in more detail BaaBaa and it's seems to have many better features than the iPhone, particularly screen resolution (although it's narrrower but longer), better camera, plus zoom, flash and video.

The only downside might be that while it has a nice big qwerty keyboard in landscape it's only for texting. For internet and emailing text can only be added in portrait via the normal keypad mode which is time consuming especially when adding punctuation marks, but depends if you do a lot of emailing or typing on net though.

I wouldn't do alot but that seems an odd decision, it's not a dealbreaker anyway and something they could possibly sort out in a firmware update.

Where did you see that as I didn't see it on GSM.

I think I'll order one in the next few days, it's free on some contracts in England.

Read it in links below, hear of a lot of people who use their phones for more business related stuff like emails and writing on the net have complained of not having a qwerty keyboard.
Whereas if you use it more for texting, photos, videos, games, watching videos etc it looks a better option than an iPhone.

The shiny new toy should be in my possession within the next 18 hours.

First impressions: It's all shiny and looks the bollocks, even the box is like an expensive watch or jewellery. All understated 'n' classy 'n' that with added magnets.

Now hurry up and charge.

Yeah that's all well and good, but the question is does it have a fart machine ?

There's 'class' and there's 'class'

Nope, you can blow bubbles though.

About 24 hours on my new toy Randy, that's with none stop dicking about though.

When the novelty wears off I reckon it'll need charging every 2.5 days. It should be 5 hours constant use and 370 hours standby.

Have you got a Piano and a Drumset SJ?
