Samsung Tocco Ultra or Nokia N96

Elliebee · 19-05-2009, 08:23

Hi guys im due an upgrade and really cant decide between these 2 phones. Anyone have any experience of either? Ive heard the Nokia is very slow opening Apps etc.

Advice much appreciated. Thanks x

The n96 is indeed pretty slow, my mates got one and never stops whining about it. It's a really dissapointing successor to the N95 (which I have, and love). The Tocco Ultra would seem a better bet as long as you don't need a Smartphone. Looks a lot nicer too! Bear in mind there are loads of really promising phones coming soon (possible new iPhone, N97, Palm Pre, etc).

Thnkyou so much for your reply. Ive been reasearching phones all morning and have now 100% decided on the Samsung Omnia HD - rang my provider who say they will do a deal for my loyalty but not until im due the upgrade which is Friday.

Im with Orange and looking at their site it seems they will charge me 95 quid to upgrade but you can get the phone for free going through Phones 4 U, that is staying with Orange network

work that out!

I shall see if i can beat them down

i was looking at the Omnia HD and it looked a nice piece of kit....but have decided to wait for the N97 (i prefer Nokia phones!)

Good choice, hell of a spec on that beast. Hope you get a good deal. i'm not due an upgrade for another couple of months, and I think it's going to be a difficult decision by then.
