Ok, stuck for choices now.

[shaheen]

ive got back from my trusted website dealers www.worldexonline.com and theyve given me their best prices on some phones and ive gotten rid of the phones that i dont fancy as much and its down to these few.

nokia 6630 $519
samsung d500 $539
motorola MPX 220 $549
nec n840

dont judge on OS or type of phone. judge what you would take and why. the N840 is basically a 2mp phone with Mini-SD slot big ass screen and bluetooth. but its big and not that nice looking.


thanks!

[Box215]

Got bored of your P900 already?

[shaheen]

lol. yep. nothing wrong with it. just didnt need a touchscreen as much as i thought i would. what i need is a camera. a good one.

[zeem35]

wow juz now checked out nec n840 its awesome.. wow the specs kill.. if u r ok with Nec then go with it.. Y hav u listed Motorola MPx 220 in ur list juz take it out..
6630 is a cool fone my cousin has its not big same size of Nokia 7610 as i compared wit mine.. Fone is superfast the menu loads in a second not in 3-5 secs on 7610 cam is also kewl.. the diff between 7610 and 630 is da speed and cam coz i guess u dont need 3g at all...
to say abt D500 :D im a samsung fan but its expensive than 6630 :( but its menu screen, cam all r gr8...
Conclusion IF u want nice interface with animations go for D500
if u want a smartfone go for 6630
N oidea bt nec n840 juz try da fone if u like it juz dont ask opinions coz ur da who is gonna use it go for it..

NEC has a service centre and support in OZ . btw brotha .. out of the list u have ... i would recommned the NEC . i used a NEC n8 before . even though its old tech , really old tech like 65k screens and 0.1 mpx camera ,

the screeen i would rate is 9/10... one of the more understated screens in the market , like mitsubishi

the camera , even for a 0.1mpx is sharper than my z1010 VGA cam . no kiddin buddy . really . if i showed u two images it is really different

but there is one real ass bum factor about NEC.

1) extremely bad connectivity : almost virtually impossible to get wallpaper ringtone games / connect via data cable ( most likely gotta go HK get) or infra red. i tried one with infra red and the damned thing just wouldnt work.

2) pretty bad UI . if u tot vodafone "remodelled" UI on SE phones like v800 / f/k500i was bad. NEC one is really really bad. it looks like an early generation sharp GX 10i UI like tt. poor colour , lousy crappy interface. basically , its a damned good screen , displays colours fabulously but it had a really crappy interface ( in terms of visual / appreciation)

i know this is pretty nitty gritty . but if u were to buy a great phone i would recommend nec

1) really fantastic screens ( i daresay better than any phone in ur list)
2) great cameras (tts wad u are looking for right bro ?)

hmmz ... as a side qn ... y not the "k900i/ CLARA"
looking good

[shaheen]

Clara is gona take awhile, trust me.im itching badly for a phone

it doesnt matter that aus has a service centre here, people here dont use nec much. except for 3g phones. so when i try to sell it theyll think its a 3g phone when its not.. and its a very boring looking phone.

NEC a broing phone ? entertainment wise maybe ... boring lookinh depends on individual ..

GO NEC ! with e screen u wun regret. really bro reallY!

[shaheen]

lol. its not boring for features. boring for design.. and im used to bright screens. ive owned the gx32 :)

[stars]

kk no kiddin u bout the screens k ? i had a nec n8 once , comparing the 65k screen to a samsung / SE / nokia ( in terms of best to last) similar 65 k screen i justs blows them away.

sharp should not be counted ! its a TFT screen comparison damnit :P not a CGS . if all the screens were CGS then it would make a fair comparison.

hmm is tt site cheap ? any good sites to recommend ?

how much u selling ur p900 :D ? PM me i kinda keen to try try smartphone

[shaheen]

that site is cheap if you have bought from them before for some reason they only give me discount, i asked whether can drop the price for a friend they said cannot :|.

i already sold my p900:D.

[shaheen]

lol. well ebay is different. and trust me. add another 150 US on top of the price. cause thats probably how much more youll have to pay with gst,customs duty tax,shipping, etc etc

[shaheen]

hahha.. i know, i dono why poeple even like z1010..features are quite crap

[stars]

hahha.. i know, i dono why poeple even like z1010..features are quite crap

hey ! it aint tt bad

so-so camera

mem stick + mp3 slot

onli bad thing is a monochrome colour screen + thick ... tts all ...the thickness got to me

[shaheen]

yaa..but when you think about how many hundreds of phones have those basic features it kinda makes it feel like its boring, no offence. should sell while people still want z1010. on secentral.net people sell theirs fast

[commedecargons]

i'd get 6630 out of these........ (to my misery) hehehe~~

[fabarati]

so shaheen, given up on the Sharp 902? i bullied my local phonedealer to order one in so i could try it out. what can i say? you would probably love it, like me. of those i would go for the 6630, but expensive and non-existing meory cards (they can't be found bigger than 64 mb, and when they come, they will most probably be expensive...). still... 6630 of those

[shaheen]

dotn taunt me man, i want the 902. but its practically impossible to get here, except for 1 online dealer selling at an insance price of 900EURO

[stars]

yea i wanna get rid of it ... no one seems willing to buy ! haiz ...

anyway ... one of my frens ( the lucky devil) got a display set k700i for like us$220 or sometihng like tt here in SG .. wad the hell man ...

[commedecargons]

Sharp 902.... quite ugly.... TM200 looked better~~ wat u say it's diffferences were??

[fabarati]

i can get the 902 in sweden...

[difenbaker]

nokia 6630 $519
samsung d500 $539
motorola MPX 220 $549
nec n840


ummmm.... I vote for the 6630. It's fast, has great connectivity, and is not that big (or bulky) at all.

but if you miss having a touchscreen... might I suggest a 7710?


cheers!

[commedecargons]

7710~~~ arrghh~~~ suddenly alot of Nokians can accept touch screens.... the power of Nokia

nokia ...

i hope nokia dun go the way of siemens ... sad sia .. anyone checked out e siemens news ? they closing down if no one bails em out ... i hope NEC does and revitalises siemens ... just like Sony and ericsson

[shaheen]

siemens closing down !? wat the... but they had phones planned this year didnt they?... the SF65 and watever

[Nraged]

6630 mate - best on the market for functions and it symbian V8 (very stable)

[shaheen]

symbian V8..that sounds cooooool

[stars]

siemens closing down !? wat the... but they had phones planned this year didnt they?... the SF65 and watever

yea ... sad ... i wanted to buy a SK65 !! perhaps i might get one at a much cheaper price now :D ! 4th largest yet unprofitable ... the sad thing about siemens is tt those dudes there are competent ...

look at the m65 the s65 and the sk65 ...

all those are technically decent phones , much better than most of the samsungs / nokias u find out there...

they just aint popular in most of the world ... nothing really niche to define them ... like nokia its the UI people just adore symbian , for samsung its design , for SE its connectivity . for siemens ? great phones , value for money , nothing really outstanding.


cya siemens ~! a fond farewell
