Whichever one looks / feels better.

The Nokia uses Symbian OS, which I've turned off in a huge way. It just gets slow over time, and no matter what you do, theres no way to speed it back up.

At least the Blackberry will be consistantly slow!

Have used both of them through work....

Nokia - easy enough to use, fairly good camera / lens built in if that floats your boat, Nokia maps with the option to download the turn by turn stuff (1st 12mths were free then you pay after that), screen wasn't any better or worse than anything else I had previously used, it did the job I needed although I did find it to be fairly heavy for a device of its size & if you had more than 200 msg's in the inbox it wouldn't sync with bluetooth devices.

Blackberry - screen resolution I found to be a lot sharper than the Nokia, slightly smaller & and
Lighter than the Nokia, it does everything I need from a work perspective of email, voice & txt and does it fairly well, the optical navigation can take a bit to get use to if you haven't used anything like that before.

I ended up sticking with the Blackberry out of the two

What was the last blackberry you used? My 8900 was quick as. (except when you did a battery pull, then it takes 5 mins to boot), hell of a lot faster than my N82 ever was.

BlackBerry is only any good if you're on a BlackBerry plan with push data. As a toy they are a bit meh, but as a work tool they are pretty damn good.

Could get a BlackBerry Torch if you want a toy. Few of the importers have them.

They wont be new phones, old work phones that might be getting offered to us for cheap.

Will I have any issues with them as they are a telecom phone but I will be running a Vodafone sim?

Make sure they're quad band phones.
