SE P900 or S700

[Tarek]

Howdy there folks, i was just wondering if any fo you guys can help me. i was recently looking to buy a phone and i came across the p900, the phone is a real beauty, brilliant desing and good features, but then my friend shows me the SE where the s700 is shown. now i am completely stuck. which one . buy p900 or wait for s700. i am actually a student, (maybe that will help for you to see what phone will suite me) anyway please please please help. as i am badly in need of a phone. ttyl people ciao!

Ya Tarek, P900 is normally not for people "badly" in need for a phone. LOL

Also I don't remember if the S700 had a stylus like the P900. I think those 2 phones don't belong to exactly the same category.

*What I would do*
Buy a cheap phone that you can live with for another couple of months. Then in 8 months (when the S700 comes out) Buy the S700.

what do u mean not badly in need of a phone?

and i know that s700 doesnt really have a stylus but im just asking, which would be better suited for a lifestyle of a student. a guy once told me only business people buy the p900 because its a heavy duty phone. lots of software.

As a student as well, I'd say the s700, even though I have a p900.

We're used to hear, "only business man use handphone" when i'm 13 or 14... cdover.. how old r ya? u see tarek, there's no really a businessman or student kinda market niche now guess.... except for the pricing.... i'd say buy a P900 now... (one would need a PDA anyway, then-- P900 is jus a PDA that has a built-in phone for easy internet accessing) then when the S700 is launched, get it---> coz its a few months from now and u've probably recovered from the P900 financial slash. U can always go clubbing with the S700 thou... P900?... neh~~

And you got a P900? what the hell. How could you afford that? Took me ages to save up for my N-Gage and I had to sell my other phone.

Yar. Well at first I was saving for AGES for a 6600, but then I found the p900 and saved up a few more. Most of my money comes from my school report, which is great because it comes every half term. :D

[Tarek]

Ah. Oops, I mean I get my school report and receive money from my parents :). Uh, well...I'd say the p900 is you REALLY like Symbian (like me)...if not, thenthe s700 would be great, you save money...but still have to wait a while.

I got my P900 using my UNI's term break, for a whole month i work like hell, but eventually it paid off... i hit my monthly sales target in 9 days... proceeded to hit the second target and eventually asked my boss to give me a new target to be achieved in which i get another additional incentive!

Initially, i wanted to get the XDAII, and a pair of Logitech BT headsets, but then, theres this P900 thing.... and out of nowhere i suddenly dislikes BT headsets.....

Its lucky for teens nowadays... really, i remembered i work like hell for my Nokia 5110 too, which at that time.... cdover i guess ur too young to use a Hphone..... :p

Since we're about to fall into May, Q4 starts in 5 months (starting October).

And off topic, what exactly does "hp" stand for ? been seeing it a lot here. And the post before me mentions "Hphone" :confused:

[simply258]

I'm hoping for a release of the P900 successor, which I hope will have a megapixel cam and 100k screen like the S700. In that case, I'll skip the S700.

:D I hope there isn't a successor any time soon. Oh...you mean 256k screen.

Multi-megapixel.

Thanks all for the corrections. But I'm still wondering what "hp" and "Hphone" is.

hp = hand phone (like a cell phone, or a mobile) hphone = hand phone.

[simply258]

Thanks cdover. But it's weird that they'd call it that. Hand phone, as opposed to what ? Foot phone ? Mobile phone as opposed to fixed phone is understandable.

Eheh, you get used to it after a while, and sometimes you find yourself calling it that! :) In s'pore they call it hand phone.
