I found that you have the exactly same way of looking at a phone as me. So, just to share, you might also want to consider nokia E-51 also:

1) Nokia E-51 :

- 2Mp camera (no autofocus), long distance object ok, short distance lousy
- normal audio quality
- 2.5mm audio jack
- RM800 - RM1000 (i found Rm 870)
- candybar
- got Wi-fi
- OS, Symbian 9.2 Feature Pack 1

To put it short, E-51 has additional Wi-fi compared to Nokia 5320, other than that, they are almost the same. This wi-fi function cost additional rm130. You can consider if you have access to WLan often (you can make free voice call and sms with this function)

what is your budget first? X1 not out yet right? how long you want to use it? reasonable camera means? 3.2MP or 5MP? you need to find a phone that have good d-pad or Touch, and keypad

If it suits my requirement then budget is no issue la, but most important is my requirement. I dunno how long i wanna use it??? Dun really follow on models changes..normally i use untill my phone gonna kong la!! Currently still using V3i after almost 3yrs. Reasonable camera means izzit better to go for 3.2MP or just go for the highest pixels??? Btw wats d-pad or Touch and keypad r u referring to?? Havent been following the trend la..but lately I'm required to use heavily on emails and camera...but i knda like the C902, especially the James Bond edition..Platinum Silver C902..dun think its out yet right? drool.gif

Hi all,

I would like to ask for your help. I'm looking for a touch screen phone(except iphone), wifi phone. Being an avid SE fans, I was quite disappointed cos after P1, there ain't any much touch screen phone at the moment by them.

So I have three choices so far,

1. Omnia
2. HTC touch diamond
3. No iphone please

I think I don't care much about the camera features, what is important for me is to get my photos into the file and view it from the phone like a photo viewer.

I've checked and noticed that the review from Omnia saying that the display is really crap under sunlight. Then I was thinking of diamond, but people saying the program lags when you touch, (it doesn't react instantly like the iphone)....

In a dilemma now. icon_question.gif rclxub.gif
katana18
Can anyone help me out?
1. Brand
Nokia prefered. (mostly for Symbian OS). Sony Ericsson also acceptable.

2. Budget
RM1k - RM1.5k

3. Specs
Autofocus camera required (upgrading from K550). Music not important (got iPod). Organizing functions are the deciding factor (needs excellent calender, planner, reminders, etc.)

4. Type/Size
Strictly bar only. Anything else will go out of shape within 6 months. I'm a very heavy user. Not that I don't take care of my phone, but the color of my K550 changed after 6 months O_o.

I have Nokia 6620 classic in mind. Can't find anything else to rival it, and I'm troubled by many reviews claiming the keypad is flimsy. I'm a phone abuser, remember?

Thanks.
moniqee
then go for

nokia 3120 classic / nokia 3500 / nokia 5320 XM / nokia 6120 classic

Beside K770i

Any Other Suggestion?

the new SE C702?? ( nice colour / it's anti-dust, anti-water, anti-shock resistance ler... ) quite not bad...

u can think of Nokia 5320 XpressMusic / Nokia 5220 XpressMusic
jimmy.soo
erhmmmm, the N96 will be available from the 2nd week of September onwards with a retail price of RM3,338........
ouch sad.gif thats pretty expensive for a non-touch-screen-phone.
given no budget, which will u guys go for? N96 or Samsung Omnia?
both phones are having almost similar features/functions, the only difference is the touchscreen
katana18
So far I've narrowed it down to 5320XM and N82. Problem is that the 5320 has an inadequate camera (upgrading from autofocus) but does everything else right.

As for N82, it's costing a lot of money, and does almost everything a N95 does. Problem? Keypad. I used a K550 and couldn't wait to change out of that "rice grain" buttons.

Is there really no other alternative?

Hey I can't decide between N81 8GB and N78.

In terms of it's camera, the N78 has a 3.2 mgpx whereas the N81 only has 2 mgpx.

Memory wise the N81 comes with 8GB, which means I don't have to spend on memory cards for the N78.

But sound quality wise, according to GSMarena the N81 is better than the N78.

But N78 has more features compared to N81 which is basically a music and gaming phone.

Which one would you choose?

i think you better buy N78 lo,because if you decide to buy N81 8GB is very risky,because it is run the hard disk,so if something wrong,then have to change all...because that are internal hard disk..

I say don't buy N78. I think that it has amazing features etc. But the keypad cannot be used. I've used that kind of keypad before (SE K550) and cannot wait to get out of it. Every review on the net has criticized the N78 keypad, so I'm afraid that has spoilt an otherwise perfect phone.

N80 is an old model. It's no longer available unless you try to get second hand ones or try your luck from the AP sets, though seriously I don't see people selling it anymore.

The nokia supernova series hasn't released yet I think.

Perhaps you can try S.E models? They are relatively cheaper than Nokia(Just a little) and have very good specs too.
