What are the best phones out there currently that work with Blue&Me

[eggy1977]

Hi, i'm due for an upgrade with Vodafone which is good as i purchased a grande punto 3 weeks ago. I currently have a Samsung G600 which doesn't work with the Blue & Me (bluetooth keeps disconnecting).

I'm looking basically for the best phone i can get (preferably no more than £30 monthly contract) but i'm not sure which is the best on the market but also one that works well with Blue&Me.

I'm after something with a good camera, my current one is 5mp (but has a very poor shutter speed), the battery life is excellent, much better than anything i've had for a while. I wouldn't mind something with GPS. I don't listen to music on my phone.

Anyone any suggestions??

I take it no one has a mobile that kind of fits the description and is actually all round good and fully compatable with Blue&Me then. I have looked at the list of phones and viewed various mobile phone websites but each phone usually has a weak point whether it be poor battery life, camera or something else, thought i might get a bit of response, anyone?

...Is the iphone the best, or is their a blackberry that fits the bill, i've seen good rating for HTC phones - not heard of them until recently though, any new samsungs that connect well with B&M? Or should i see if the N97 is the one to get?

It would be a good idea to have a thread here, from people that have recently bought mobile phones and are using them with Blue & Me.

With the possible upgrade planned to B+M(mentioned elsewhere ) this of course could also "knock out" several mobiles already working with your system. Mobile phone which previously worked could be stopped working under the "up grade".

Here is a list that I found from a German website that was updated last month.

I'm also looking at getting a new phone, thinking about the new W995 if you hear anything about it with Blue & Me...? Ta
