To be honest, I really would like a new phone, so thats why I'm a little apprhensive to getting the SIM only plans although they are great value. I'm fairly sure that I read elsewhere that the N95 isn't being withdrawn but will continue to be sold alonside the N96. Ultimately, I'm in no position to afford the N96 when it arrives, as imagine it will be almost iPhone-esque in its pricing ~£100-150. I appreciate the advice people, and think I'm around 98% sure that I will go to Vodafone but I will sleep on it and see if anybody adds anything interesting overnight.
Thanks again!

Yes its good to hear about good experiences with the C902. Its given SE a better image compared with the K850i. The N95 whilst great i am still shocked that its just not coming down in price. Why.

After having used a C902 today, I was less than impressed with how tiny the screen is! It really is only because of that that I'm not really considering it...

Because lot of people still want it. Simple as that really. The price has come down, it just hasn't fallen through the floor. The basic N95 is now £280 sim-free I believe, compared to about £450 when it first came out. The 8GB has dropped to £380 ish. Whether they affect the N96 sales, who knows, as the N96 is nothing more than the N95 with more memory and the DVB-H TV Tuner. Not really an upgrade at all, so getting an N95 8GB isn't exactly living in the past.
The C902 is a very good feature phone, but again depends on what you class as important in a device. (i.e. Smartphone power vs. Feature phone usability). I have seen quite a few people mention on this site re-booting problems with this phone, but the Nokia is not exactly problem free either.
In its favour, as you've noticed, the N95 has a much bigger screen and with it, better browsing potential. If you do use the Net a lot, I'd go with the Nokia. The C902 is more limited in its software and by that tiny screen in this department.
As for the network I've been using Vodafone on the Sim-Only deal for a while now and the signal and reliability has been second to none. Buying a sim and trying it out is a very good idea. I've used the T-Mobile coverage check before, and it was nothing like what I actually could pick up.
Hope this has helped make you make a choice!

Vodafone customer services are clueless and often tll you something un-true over the phone however saying this they're eforum is the best CS you can get, yo outta join and ask them questions regarding coverage etc.
im with them currentley and had no probs except for above.
N95-2 is a great handset btw tbh mines in sleepyland atm cos im doing a course with alot of riff raff that I reck will steal it
regarding it going out of buisness erm Mr Miyagi, yes t prob will as soon as the N96 comes avail but hell theres a few months to go yet, and besides that phones no good considering it has TV functions that dont work in the Uk!
