    I got a text off 3 today telling me that im due an upgrade from my V3x. Im tempted by the K800i because I like the look of the camera. But I would not be happy if in january or february a much better phone came out and I missed out because I had already upgraded.

    So my question is, is there a phone out in the new year that would be significantly better than the K800i and should I wait a month or two before upgrading (im most interested in camera quality).

    Take the upgrade - get the phone you want now - a major improvement on what you've got an a phone which won't show it's age for a while, and live safe in the knowledge that a better phone will DEFINITLY come out in the next few months. Such is the world of mobile phones.

    I second ciaranfo. There will always be a better phone coming out in a few months. It's really about whether you'd like to upgrade now, and if you like the K800i? If you'd like to upgrade ASAP and the K800i is a good phone for you, go for it.

    If on the other hand you have doubts about the K800i, or don't mind waiting a few months, wait! For example, you could wait for the X-Series Nokia N73 or W950i.

    I got that text the other day too and have a V3X.

    The K800 won't do X series so I'm waiting for the Nokia N73 ;)

    Nokia N95! :D

    Ok, a bit unrealistic to think Meteor will get it and offer as an upgrade, but... JUST LOOK AT TEH FEATURES!

    I'm on 3 also (bill phone), just have a few questions -

    How long before you are entitled to upgrade, how are you informed?
    How much are the upgrade phones generally, cheaper than new contract phones? the same?

    Any help, much appreciated :)

    I'm guessing you get it after 12 months. That's what happened to me, at least. You get an SMS and you get a letter. I don't know what the prices are. I'm waiting for the N73 or similar before upgrading. You will sign up for another 12 months when upgrading, but that's normal.

    hmm...

    Cheers for all the help :)
