Paul after my D500 which i really liked, i got the 8800 and im happy with it apart from the the battery, although they do give two, but in all honesty my main priority when buying phones is size so im not really going to carry another battery, so i got a charger at home, office and car.
However if i was in the market for a phone now, it would have to be the LG chocolate, the phone is so slick and to top it off its free on o2 at carphone warehouse at the moment, was going to get it for the missus on the bank holiday but she didnt like the tarrifs, so will wait for it to be released (Exclusive to carphone warehouse at the mo)......trust me the pictures do not do the phone any justice, do yourself a favour and go and see it.
PS if you want it off line its around a reasonable £270 odd considering i paid £230 for mine online :winky:.....also i changed from Orange to o2 back in December and they have much better tarrifs online rather than instore :)
