N80 woes, need a new phone!

I have a Nokia N80, and its the most bug ridden phone I have ever used/seen/layed eyes on etc. I have the latest firmware but still its a pile of sh*t! Recently I bought a 1gb memory card to replace my 128kb one and this slowed it down and i couldn't even access the memory, so I have finally decided the way forward is a new phone.
Being a pay and go customer on o2, they tell me I can have £48 off a new phone so I am thinking of the Nokia 6233 which would cost £84 with discount.
Does this phone have any bugs or can anyone recommend an even better one??
TIA

EDIT: 3G is also a bonus, as I have a 3g sim, and heard it "messes up" 2g phones

Have a look for a 6280. It's like the baby n80.

I have this phone with no clitchs or bugs works fine all the time, BUT i did flash my phone to the Generic Nokia firmware as the Orange one made the phone run very badly. What problems you having with your N80? I do not know how you can call it a pile of shit when its the best phone i have ever had.

My n80 is extremely reliable. True I reflashed it to generic firmware, but I've had no problems with it. Are you sure your phone isn't faulty?

How do you flash phones to generic firmware? I have an N70.

Just thinkgs like it goes very slow if i put my 1gb memory card in and fails to operate and images don't load and it just has that boat picture.
I have software version 4.0623.0.42

It's not legal, and can be risky so cannot be discussed. However it is possible to reflash an N70 to a N70 Music Edition. Do a Google, there are lots of sites which explain the process.

it is legal and you can normally do it at any nokia approved repair site. if you do it any other way you can just void your warranty
