I'm not sure about 5320.
But 5610 is Symbian S40 only. Not much function you can add except for its ekspress music capability.
Try finding S60 or UIQ phone. Then only you can say that you have more function.

Yes I am a current user of 5610XM and it's quite true that the phone doesn't have much functions besides it's good music player, radio and the camera. I also heard that the music slider key cracks easily after frequent usage. laugh.gif

hhmm.... i was considering 5610... nw it's officially out of ma list
almost wanted to get E65 - but no front camera... otherwise i'd have gotten it....
hw about 6500 slide - i saw the specs wif +-900mAh battery... i reckon it'll need frequent charging.... any comments?

Hey guys! I need your opinions on these few models I have in mind. I wish to get a phone for my upcoming birthday smile.gif

Samsung i900 Omnia 8GB
Samsung i8510 Innov8 8GB
Nokia N96

What are the pros and cons for the above models? Is it worth the money to get one of those? Or do you have other brand/model to recommend which is similar to the above models in term of functions?

I understand 2 phones are slider phones and the other is a touch screen phone.

Actually Nokia 5610 is not such a bad phone after all.. I've been using it for the past 6 months my slider bar hasn't got any cracks. It all depends on the user uses that slider bar.

The battery 6500S and 5610 is the same I think in terms of specs. In my case I only need to charge it 2 days once because I don't really make calls since I prefer to SMS and playing the music on loudspeaker once in a while.

Hi everyone,

I want to get a new phone. I was thinking of Sony Ericsson W980, I love how it looks, it has this retro stylish feel to it.

But I'm not a huge mobile mp3 player fan, I prefer my phones to be simple. So I don't know if it is worth paying almost 2k for that phone when I most likely won't use its mp3 player.

Any suggestions? My budget is below 2k. I like either candy bar type or flip. No slide phones.
Either Nokia, Samung or SE.

Camera quality, at least 2mp.

Don't care if I can check e-mail on it but would like to receive and send MMS.

I like slim small phones, nothing big and chunky.

Help!

Thanks smile.gif

I am having the blue unit. It looks cool because it's almost entirely black. But it doesn't stand out as much as the red one. Yes the material is a lil plasticy. If you don't like it I would suggest the 6500S. It definitely looks more slot and has a TV output port.

About the 5800XM, I am expecting the price to be about the same as the SE P990i when it was first release into the market say not less then RM2k. You interested ar?? laugh.gif

haha.. both are indeed are my choices.

What do you think? Which is best bet? W660 or W380? should I invest on W660 or with W380? I like W660 because it has bigger screen (2") and it has 2MP camera while W380 only have 1.9" screen and 1.3MP camera.

I'm scared if the buttons on the W660 is hard to use since they are closely packed? hmm.gif

Infact, I do have a little trouble using my brother's W580 with the buttons.

but I like the clampshell design of W380.. totally in doubt. rclxub.gif
