For me, I would choose for SE Z770 or SE Z780. Like what you say, the design is nice.
Plus, both phones camera are 2.0MP which are more useful. Moreover, the 2 phones come with 3G.
SE phones are easier to sell off compared to LG and Samsung too.

1) brand - No preference, though hopefully not Nokia, cos i've used nokia for a long time, wants a change.
2) budget - none
3) specs - camera (at least 3 MP), FM Radio, GPS & AGPS, Wifi
4) type - prefers slide phone, dont really like touch screens, cos i've a habit of not looking at hp and smsing. Thin and light would be good, not too bulky.

Can be any phones out there in the market already, or any upcoming phones.

The exterior look being sleek would be a huge plus.

I will recommend SE K660i which support 3.5G (HSDPA) but price is less than RM700

1. N78 or N82?

2. AP or ori?

3. If I go for an original set, would it be better to just get it in Singapore since I get to save a couple of hundred RM?

Thanks. biggrin.gif

Brand: SE or Nokia

Hi..I hope somebody can help me decide which handphone has the least problems so far. I already had some kind of trauma of owning a Nokia handphone again because my previous Nokia 6233 is spoil.

OK, my budget is around RM1100-RM1400

The 2 major problem I faced while choosing these 2 phones which is Nokia N82 and SE K850i is that N82 has a "rice-shaped" key-pad while SE has the "3 soft-keys" which I found some forumers had a problem with the middle soft keys. Can I have some advice on this matter?

My phone choice is Nokia N82 and SE K850i since both is a 5 Mega-Pixel camera phone.

I would properly purchase an AP set for either one of these phones, which AP set company is more reliable?

How's the battery life between N82 and K850i for moderate usage?

Lastly, which model is worth the money to buy for long term usage?

Thank you for your time in replying my post. Will purchase my phone at Subang Parade this coming Sunday. Thanks once again.

1. The design looks almost the same, but I ll choose N82 for the 5MP camera with Xenon flash.
2. AP will be cheaper and you have to depends on which AP company you buying from.
3. If you buy from Singapore, you can't warranty your phone here.

You can get a used K800i within your budget.
If you opt for cheaper one, you may go for K550i or W810i

Yo bro i think SE W960 would suit the job..
Price can get RM14++
Camera 3.2 MP
Memory build in 8GB
Screen sure its more than 2inch and touch screen as well
Comectivityno problem has 3G as well as wifi
Design simple n straight forward no flip,slide,push,pull etc and suits man
Music sould be good as its Walkman series
Video no problem
Speed not bad as its 128MB ram and for phone its not bad.
Text is ok as it has keypad as well
Battery life not too bad la.

So overall its a good phone and honestly i kinda like it as well and i dont intro u crap phones so go and take a look at it..cheers

Errmm..both are good but N82 has more fucntion and more worth it to buy la but camera quality SE better as that phone model camera won some award..

None of the keypad is nice to press and honestly i dont like SE the middle square keypad and touch screen make it harder to use.

Ermm if posible dont purchase AP i had encounter problems with nokia and SE AP set before and warranty take long time to fix.

Battery almost the same 2 days like that gone dy lo for moderate use la as both of them have 5mp camera + xenon flash it really drains the batery.

N82 has more value for money as the front camera can capture pics,has wifi which SE dont have.

Make yr choice wisely cheers.. cheers.gif

I have saw the quality of 5610, its not bad. For k770i i hv no idea but SE camera phones are very good. The only downside to k770i is the relatively small screen size (1.9in) compared to 5610 (2.2in).
