Does anyone know any good new mobiles? Im looking at the N95 8gb as they seem to be going for £150 now and I want built in GPS and WiFi
is there any others I should be looking at?
Thanks

Uhhh Iphone & Jailbreak. There really isn't anything better on the market right now IMO.
Jailbreak an Iphone, Play Playstation 1 on your phone. Nuff said.

Ignore the nonsense above.
1. Iphone has no real GPS (A-GPS is lolable).
2. PS1 is unplayable on Iphone unless it's some meditative shit that doesn't requre tight controls
As to N95. It's a nice phone, but as to GPS - it's very unstable compared to any navigator or WM device with GPS. Uber long cold start, needs to be under open sky all the time etc. etc. etc. And most important point - absence of qwerty keyboard and/or touchscreen makes route plotting very hard. Imagine inputting destination via standard phone keys.
If GPS is a must, I'd advise you to look at Windows Mobile devices with normal SirfIII & co receivers. Most of the new models come with GPS and Wifi of course.

Nokia N96 would be my choice if I bought a new phone now. N95 is the best phone I've ever had(and I've had alot of phones) and N96 is the successor to N95.

What you need to do is stop focusing on all these half ass'ed features phones come packed with. My previous N95's GPS was useless and it's camera although good for a phone was passable.
So what I learned was to use separate dedicated devices instead of buying a phones that are trying to do it all because most of those features are not executed correctly to begin with.
