    Hey hey!!

    As the title suggests, I'm desperate for a new phone that would allow me to access my emails, social networking preferably with WiFi capability.
    And of course one that store a lot of SMS!

    Most of all I'm on 02 and budget is under 200.
    I know what I want is an Iphone but it cost far too much for me! :(

    Cheers!

    For a lot of emails and texts, your probably better avoiding touchscreen imo. What would you think about the E72?

    Quite a decent handset

    I'm not too sure because I liked the feeling of iphone texting but suppose you may be right.
    Not sure about that-would ideally like slim phone because I tend to carry it everywhere with me.

    The e72 is quite slim, might look bigger than it is. Its about the same size as an iphone, just a little smaller.

    You seem to want the iphone. You could go for a second hand one for your budget. Might be worth have a browse on adverts.ie

    It has its problems. The firmware has let it down badly, and the white flooding issue with the camera lens is embarrassing.

    Aw ok think I want something with touch screen and qwerty, as that'd be like 2 in 1 for me then perhaps?

    Well not everyone has issues with it, and plenty of people say its the best phone they had, its just a bit hit and miss. Much improved since it launched in any case. Have a read of the n97 thread maybe, might help you decide. link
