Getting Samsung i8510

[Wayne]

Yeah, my current mobile, Nokia N73 has been peeing me off lately, sound button doesn't work and the zoom in button doesn't work. Also, it's quite bulky and it has a few scratches on it etc so I decided to look for a new phone. I have decided to get the Samsung i8510 on contract, which is £35 per month for 600 mins and unlimited texts which in my opinion is great for a 8MP camera phone, with GPS system and 8GB internal memory. Here are the specs and a few pics. Also, does anyone else have this phone?

too big for me

[Wayne]

Yeah, I read that it's quite a bulky phone but it's less bulky than my current so idc.

Its quite a nice phone, I saw one when I was at the Carphone Warehouse.

Like stated, it is quite bulky but of course that's not really important due to your old phone :P

The camera on it is great, great storage etc... It seems like a sound choice :)

If I havemoney I may look at buying it, GoW2 comes first though!

Great phone mate, I have just got mine.

Be careful though, cos I believe there are software faults for it already.
