Mobile Phone thread - please include links to good deals

Can anyone who owns a Nokia N95 recommend a good video conversion program? I used to use the 3gp converter posted on the PSP video encoding thread but after ages of tinkering i've ruined the conversion settings file

you could try Mediacoder, its worked fine on my last few phones by using the N70 settings included then turning off the screen rotation.

I just got a nice £300 bill from O2, they didn't cancel my contract very well

I lost my Nokia 6300 phone coming back from Amsterdam last Saturday and need a phone badly but I'm not prepared to settle for a **** phone.

It looks like I will settle for the Sony Ericsson K850i (out in 2 days time) which seems nice but I got the opportunity to get the Apple iPhone for £199 plus £35 a month, come early next month.

I can get this deal as my sis is a manager at O2 and it will also work out £23 a month as I get a third of line rental as well.

Which should I go for?

Snap! I'd get the K850i. I'm upgrading to the K850i on Friday with the same benefit as you with the friends and family 30% discount. I've had the K800i for a year and think it's great. The camera is great for a phone and the features and interface are easy to use and user friendly. My girlfriend is happy as well as she gets a still awesome K800i

ANyone know when the K850i is due out on Orange? I'm due an upgrade, have been since August I think but my K800i is going strong so no need to rush into it until something decent comes out.

Just bought a W810i and I'm really impressed with it.

My main motivation was the walkman aspect because I spent 4 hours a day travelling to and from work and as I already had a 1GB Pro Duo, this was ideal. I also love the SE interface. It's nice and clear with everything easy to access. Just spent a couple of hours sorting through my music and transferring it over with the supplied software. I just LOVE this phone and could certainly recommend it, especially as I got it for ?70 with ?10 O2 credit and a 512MB Pro Duo. Yeah, it's not the newest of phones, but for what it does, it's a great piece of kit.

There's a possibility I've asked this before but I continue to live in hope!
I might look for a new phone soon (been using a mate's hand-me-down for ages since mine crashed) and I'm willing to base it all on one specific feature:

I really want custom seperate text message tones. It's okay if it's done via groups - my current one is an oldish Samsung flip phone, it lets you set different text tones for 10 different groups of people but only the tones that come with the phone. I really must have my own ones! So I can say "oh, that's the pacman intro it's from Kim" or "ahh it's the mario game over tune it's the ex!".

[Rossco]

I know that Sony Ericssons allow you to change the text tone to your own .mp3, but you cant split them between groups, but you can change the actual ringtone to a specific one for every person.

I know it doesnt help, but it rules out SE's for you anyway. Thats the K800i I have anyway and any older ones didn't allow it, not sure about the newer ones inthe last few months.

Just had my phone stolen... :|

I told my dad and he phoned T Mobile to get it blocked. I have insurance on the phone, does that mean I will get my same phone with everything thats packaged with it? (Memory stick and headphones) Would I be able to ask for a new, superior phone?

Well pissed off, I should have taken the punch to the face then him taking it Apparently the guy is wanted and has a arrest warrant for him, so I hope he gets caught and burns in hell, the damn tramp

[ChrisF]

Sorry to hear that matey I guess it depends on your insurance as to whether you get something new, or a replacement...?

I hate thieves. Utter scum.

But hey, it's just a phone! You still have your health, which these days seems to be a bonus if you have your phone taken off you.

[stormbreak]

True, but its sad because they always target the school kids (Only 6th formers allowed out this year, like me) and they'll do it again. It always happens, and the worst thing is, people didn't even try to help until one of my mates heard him say "give me your phone" and shouted for my other friends to come. Some ran after him, he got on a bus and got kicked out lol.

I gotta go to the police station to report it if i want a new phone :|
