Dear diary,

I am in a dilemma. My contract for my phone is up and I do love my current Samsung U600 but I'm obligated by my soul to get a new phone. Daz got his just after we came back from holiday and he's got a shiny new Samsung U900! I don't know what to get though. My brother sold his old iPhone and got the new 16gig one but I'm not going to

things to consider:

budget
purpose (calls, emails, text, calendar, calculator, organiser etc)
weight
practicality (if it's faster for you to thumb type than qwerty type then go for the regular one)
battery life
strength (if you drop it, will it disintegrate?)

Samsung's a good brand but if you want the capabilities of the blackberry then Blackb is a good one to get since they've been in the market for ages and has sorted out the issues of their old models.

Goodluck! (cnet is a great source for reviews btw)

dont know first thing about cellphones.

i just go for sleek designs and practicability. My motorola razor is one such model.

But dust gets inside the screen on that one...

I have such a low-tech Nokia phone. I only use it to call, text and wake myself up in the morning. I remember my former students who arent even like 10 years old had better phones than I did.
