Hi guys,

I'm looking to buy a new smartphone, but I really know nothing about them. I am in desperate need of some help!

Firstly, I have been looking at this one. However, as it is a moblie phone, do you need to put your own sim card in it? If you don't, how do you top the phone up, and do you make calls in the same way as a normal phone? And there are no monthly fees with Smartphones, are there?

Also, if you have any recommendations for a smartphone under £200, preferably with built in WiFi, and without any monthly fees, then that would be great!  

Thanks in advance for any help guys!

Thanks for all the replies guys.

I think I'm looking at an iPhone now then! Anyone know where you can get the cheapest contracts from i.e. The one i will pay the least for over 12/18 months, as I don't use my phone that much.

Thanks again!

O2 is the only provider..

Tbh just get it unlocked, only needs a quick program download and bang you're sorted.

...Doesn't updating an unlocked phone brick it?

finally someone talking sense

the N95 is a fantastic phone, so much you can do with it 

[Soggyllama]

I'm looking to get an N95 ove rthe next few months. I'd like the 8GB Model, But I've seen the original one for £200 in our local store Unlocked and unbranded. the N80 i currently have has seen better times.

i got an N95 8GB last week and i'm very impressed so far, haven't found anything it can't do yet (apart from teas and coffees )

I'd recommend the original N95 as it can be expanded to 8GB through a memory card slot, they left the card slot off the 8GB version for some reason.

Ahh cool. Whats the SAT NAV on there like? Does it have a good refresh
rate? Also how much does it cost to use and can you use 3rd party
software?
