    just looking for a new mobile
    My current phone is a C905 which is a superb phone but im getting bored of it so any other 5-8mp phones I should be looking at

    heres what i want
    no touch screens,not a fan tbh
    great for texting
    5-8mp camera
    big enough screen

    i was looking at the samsung innov8 but im unsure,anyone have it ?

    Going on your spec, a N95 would work for you.

    I dont have much respect for samsung phones tbh, i have found them extremely buggy. The n95 does nearly everything on it just a few slight differences. The camera 5 instead of 8. The n95 doesn't come 16gb but will take a 16gb card if you need one that big. Screen is 2.8" on the 8gb same as the samsung, but 2.6" on the first edition n95. You will also save a few quid going for the n95. Thats my view on it,, you prob know someone with an n95 that you could play with to see if you like, if you haven't done so already.

    If you prefer, have a look at the n96 its an n95 essentially just looks different.

    You did say 5-8MP :p

    Did you look at the N86. Its the latest nokia announcement, was only announced about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Its very similar to the n95/n96 but it has a 8MP camera as you require :D

    I really don't like the buttons below the screen on that.

    @Headshot - What's the deal with the c905? I've just bought one (should be here soon :)) and I'm a little worried seeing as you have gotten bored of such a new phone.

    sorry for digging up this thread again but I may have changed my mind about touch screen phones

    why you ask :)

    i was playing around with a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and i do love the way you can write on screen what you want to txt

    does any 8mp touch screen phone do this ??
