I went for a nokia e71. In fact I'm on it now. Great bit of kit.

Mate is on his third one with Vodafone. He has been having problems with the phone locking up particulary in week signal areas.

Think the current replacement has been ok so far.

Worth checking out replacement policy with provider before buying.

More problems here too, locking up and very poor battery life. Orange are swapping ours out next week for a different model.

We've just upgraded over a thousand of them. They look nice. Email handling is much better, but the battery life is abysmal.

Keep the wi-fi and bluetooth turned off - it helps the battery get through the day

2 Days between charges with constant data + bluetooth usage (GPS traffic thing-a-me). Seems good to me?!

How long have you had it...? My Z8 was good for a week of heavy use now it laughs and dies when I so much as touch it!
