Im thinking of getting a new phone, now I have had a good look and it comes down to a varied choice. ( due an orange upgrade)
I fancy

the samsung omnia 7 windows phone
the htc desire hd android
the google nexus 2
and the iphone 4.
nokia n8
So I fancy one of each operating system.

whats the best over all phone my learned friends?

Depends what you want. If you're looking for a free upgrade that would probably exclude a couple of them unless you spend a load of money on your tariff every month.

I've heard the Nokia has a great camera and is a good phone, but the operating system is pretty old and tired now. Nice hardware though. iPhone 4 is solid, great hardware, load of apps, but lots of glass so if you're rough on phones might not be ideal.

The Samsung WP7 is very nice. Good build quality and OS runs well on it. Apparently there's an OS upgrade due soon that will add extra features. If you're an X Box user you can get games for it that tie in to your Live Arcade account.

Best to head down to Carphone Warehouse and try them all out and see what you like.
