"One thing I forgot on the last post, my missus had a blackberry last time around, nice enough phone but a well quirky device, dont think I could live with it. It also crashed more often than a pissed up one legged blind driver in a toyota with the throttle jammed open & no brakes."

Hi DaveD, when yours crashed was it just a case of turn off and back on again or was it a bit more serious to put right?

Variable. But I stress, if I hadnt been farting about with it , it wouldnt have crashed. It was definitely my fault. I can say hand on heart it hasnt crashed when its just been in use day to day with no mods. All the nokias I have had have been 100% reliable. I currently have a 6300 from work. We're not allowed to fart about with them, not even allowed music ring tones etc. That has never crashed, its boring as

but I suppose thats the point of it for when I'm on call

Things I have done to the e71 ?............ I have a decent sat nav prog from an older version nokia and it just isnt meant for the e71. I needed to test that theory out myself

I also tried removing various programs so the already fast proccesor went that bit faster. Unfortunately the progs I removed werent even desirable, they were essential

Other times I loaded that many conflicting utilities they froze it.

Quite often when it froze it was just a reboot. Other times it was a restore but the nokia software you put on your pc syncs and backs up and restores to perfection. Never failed to get it running again very quickly.

I genuinely think its a brilliant phone and like I say , other than times when Ive though "oh shit why did I do that" its been 100% reliable.

lets be honest, youre talking to the person who dismantled his old nokia 3410i to see if it could be built into the dashboard of his mondeo

Did you go for it Jim?

On a similar subject is anyone on virgin mobile? if so what are they like?

Just been chatting to them today and whilst they dont have the nokia e's in they do have the blackberrys and HTC's in at contract prices that'll frighten the competition

Then on top of that if youre with virgin for other services they'll give you two months free.

Hi Dave, no I haven't jumped in and changed phone yet. Trouble is currently I have a 6230i for me and also the same model for work. I have the genuine Nokia Cradle Hands Free Kit for both cars which is so good, chargers them as well. If I change phone I'll have to start again with HF kit's and I insist on them for mine, I'll just ignore my work phone when driving.
Trouble is I get too much info which conhas confused me even more. At the mo my contract has been out of it's 18 month thing for about 18 months and the phone is gradually breaking down so I should do something. I've seen it on Three, people who dislike Three moan like buggery but people who are with Three love it to bits and don't have issues with it. It's the free skype bit that I'll find usefull.

Both my wife and one of my sons has Virgin Mobile and have found coverage quite poor in our area. This is not to say that it's poor where you live is it? it's just like the Three thing isn't it. They do offer some cracking deals tho.

don't bother with the car kit i have a bluetooth sunvisor hands free thing: works aswell as my old hard wired kit. and can take it into the other car if driving that

(and the pool cars @ work as i can't fathom the built in one

)

I have an E51 not very flashy but its provided by work, and it has been thro some situations!! and currently held together by blu-tac but still works fine, nokia generally well screwed together.

Jim, I know where youre coming from on that with chargers. I used to have a nokia 6300 of my own as well as the works one. I have my e71 plumbed in to the car for charging and hands free and all i do is set up the 6300 to divert to it so when I'm driving if they want me they can get me

...............if I want them to

Brodit active holders are pretty good.

If I set my works phone up to divert to mine I get charged for the extra call. So for that reason when anything changes I won't be answering whilst in the car.

I would rather pay the money for the correct hands free kit and know that my vehicle's and family are all safe.

Thats tight

I'm supposed to pay for personal calls but I mark it as business and they've not queried it yet

I can use the works phone for personal use too and get given the quarterly bill. However I would rather have my own and keep the two bills completely seperate. Also at 4 o'clock I can switch it off and nobody can pester me.
