Well, if we were to look at your emoticons; you put unhappy faces on the N95 and the iPhone while you put the Drinks emoticon on the K850i so it looks like you're leaning towards that and then maybe the BJ2

The N95 and the BJ2 has similar features to the K850i so none of those alternatives really stand out. The N95 doesn't have 3G and the BJ2 has QWERTY but you lose the nice camera. However if you need a smartphone OS then the K850i doesn't really cut it. The iPhone however does stand out with it's 3.5" 480x320 resolution LCD. I'm not sure how important multimedia is to you, but if you intend on watching a lot of videos and you just by happen to be a non heavy data user then the iPhone might be for you.

When you say you have all 4 in your hands are they activated already? Can you use them? Perhaps you should try using each one for a bit to help you decide what features is most important to you... LCD, 3G, QWERTY, 5MP Camera, Smartphone OS...

When I got my N95 I wanted something that could do it all and the phone fit my requirements. Lately I've been more into watching videos on the go and the 3.5" LCD on the iPhone is very attractive.. unfortunately the lack of 3G is a deal breaker for me..

Apparently you didn't know the N95 8gb with North American 3G was released. Or that emTube existed. If you purchased all those phones, you'd easily be able to swap all of them for an N95-4 plus a large amount of cash.

I would choose the BlackJack 2 only because you stated no 3G with the N95 in Canada(with I presume you live). And of course it also has the GPS too, and it's small size.

But keep in mind, I haven't factored the camera or internal memory. I don't really use my phones for music(I have my 30gb zune for that) or care for high camera specs.

So the real question is ........What is YOUR general usage?

Full keyboard is worth a lot, particularly for internet browsing. Since you mentioned Canada, I'm assuming you're going with Rogers. The 3rd party app restriction on internet seems to not be happening, but since the Jack is WM you're probably paying more.

Since you're considering 3 phones without a full keyboard, I'm thinking it's not that important for you. Based on that I'd be going for the K850i, or, as someone else suggested a N95-4. The latter would probably be the best given that it's a smartphone and all indications are that since it's S60 you can use the standard UL on device data plan with it.

Thanks for all the help guys although I am still puzzled, some more input from me

I don't really care If everyone Has the phone that I have but I want something that is a well rounded phone.

One thing that pisses me off about the iphone is that I worked so hard to get it and you see all these little teeniebobbers having this phone(because its apple its cool)...

The N95 is a vodafone Unlocked Brought over from the UK, yes I'm in Canada but the Lack Of 3g Is really a downfall...

The K850i Don't really know why i have this phone just won't sell it because the re sell on them is garbage since rogers released it.

Last but not least The BJ2 just got this phone from fido for 100$$ re newing my city fido contract, Also kept the 20$$ value package with unlimited internet as i told them i won't be using the BJ just getting it because of the price.

The Iphone would be the clear winner if it had 3g, comparing the internet browser on the BJ2 to the Iphone Isn't possible there in two separate leagues of their own.

I would get the N95-4 But I feel that I've been through to many N95's already, I had 2 Original N95's, N95-3 Briefly, and got the N95-2 and left the contract for someone in england to pay...

Major thing for me Is internet I guess because I have 4 months of unlimted data for free from fido, and have been thethering and wasn't charged clearly 3g wins!

BJ2 Dosen't have GPS or at least that what the FIDO rep. Told me, correct me if i'm wrong..

In all Honesty I'm lost truly lost... so more input would help, please share your opinions on which you would have..

thanks so much

If you're in no hurry to choose, wait until April when it'll be more definite what phones work with the unlimited data plan.

I would most certainly choose the N95 8gb out of the lot; it easily tramples everything else you have posted.

You need to slap your FIDO rep, BJ2 has external GPS. Unless they are trying to pass of a BJ for a BJ2

I would get the BJ2 myself, but I can't go back to Smartphones(non-touch) after experiencing PPCs(touch).
