Hi guys, I hear this is the place to go to get ideas on your new phone.

Currently looking for a new one after mine got stolen Here are my criteria...

1. Nokia or Sony Ericsson
2. 900-1000
3. Looking for a music phone. I dont really care for the camera though. I currently got a real hard-on for Walkmen but a Nokia would be great as well.
4. Anything other than a clamshell

Thanks in advance for the input guys!

Btw s500 is stylish and function no so good.
Maybe k800 - price around RM670 for ap set.
K800 with 3.2 mp camera, 3G, It is a durable hp but design is normal.

Samsung SGH-i450, F250 and F330 Vs SE latest W series [ w910i and w890i ]

any dif between Nokia N81 and N82 ?

these are all the phones im considering but dont know which would be the best choice
*




N81
-Superb sound even at highest sound levels
-No build in gps
-2mp camera with flash
-Gaming phone
-Music phone
-Slider phone
-Same Symbian platform as n82

N82
-Sound from speakers are not that impressive
-5mp Carl Zeiss lens with Xenon flash
-Candybar design
-Small buttons
-Same Symbian platform as n81
-The only nokia phone with Xenon flash (this flash is better as it is brighter)

Just wanted to comment on w910, this Walkman series phone is not that good when it comes to music and sound. Compared to n81 in terms of speaker sound, the w910 looses big time. The keypad on w910 is easily broken and that's not good at all...

If you're into music, either get another W series or K series phone or if you have the money get the n81.

If you're into imaging and pictures, get the n82 and not the k850i. The price of k850i is quite high even though the functions are less than n82 and screen size is smaller. N82 has gps and wifi. picture quality is about the same. There's no clear advantage on imaging between n82 and k850i.

ori and ap set is the same.
U just tell me ur budget and min specs u want.
i find a suitable hp for u.
*



my budget is below rm 600..
i look at price between ori & ap ,it only differs around rm50..so i prefer ori..
spec is not really matter..as long as it is ok..
good battery life,nice to hold.ergonomic..good endurance..not easy to scratch when its fell..

so far the choices are between nk 3500 & 3110..
(very hard to decide this 2-choice...huhu)
the more i read the comments about them, the more i confuse...
yerla..some said definitely 3500c is better, while others said the same thing about the other one...

from the spec..3500c use 820 mAh while 3110 use 1020mAh..
so the battery 3110 is better (or slightly better)..but is it really give big difference? one 3500c user even said he has to recharge just after one day!

design definitely 3500c is better.
then the camera, does 2.0 give big difference (in pics) compared to 1.3mpix?

i have been thinking about these 2 for few days..but still couldnt decide...isk isk..
maybe u can give a good reason why should i take it (between this 2)..
or u also can give another option..from s.e..
(not really familiar about s.e. before this..maybe i can give a try for it..)
but of course it should be within my budget,,hehe..

thanks!

But why not u just add on a little around RM650, to get a better hp.

holypredator,
currently i using w810 and the loud speaker(consider ok la) softer than the k800.
Nothing wrong with i450, as u mention n81, w890 and i450 which one better.
So N81 better, secondly is w890 and finally is w890.

Specs:
2+ megapixel camera..
external memory card slot
GOOD mp3 loud speaker

w series hp is base on the easy excess of the walkman hp.
Because it has a button to press when u want to hear MP3.

HTC TyTN II.....
shiloong7081
Brand : anything will do
budget: 800-900++
specs: more interested in the music capabilities,with/without 3g also nvm,camera also nvm.
type/size: anything.

I need help in choosing between:
w660, 6120C, and Xpress Music 5610 .

feature wise, 6120 is more packed but the looks are just so-so.And i am wondering whether is the 'dedicated audio chipset' of XM5610 a gimmick ? What difference does it make ? And whats the diff between symbian 40 and symbian 60 ? music quality wise, which one better ?
Vervain
What do you mean by packed? looks more like 6120 is towards smart or business capable phone. Judging by the criteria given, 5610 and w660 is somewhat suitable.

Well I'll give you one good example. PC with built-in 3d accelerator and a separate pci graphic accelerator, which one do you think will perform better? Also if its direct hardware decoding, it should be faster, and your phone should require less processing power on the processor.

Samsung SGH J750
tictactoe
hi frens...
i m thinking of getting new pda phone...
hv no experience using it before
this is my first time..

my budget is +- RM 2000

last few days, did some survey
found htc s730 (price bout RM 1800 - 1999)
as a layman (not profesional) in evaluating phone
i do think htc s730 is a cool and excelent handphone
got wifi, 3G, QWERTY keyboard etc etc..
BUT WITHOUT touch screen

today, as i browsed through internet
came across samsung SGH i780
i guess, the price and functions almost same
BUT this samsung model got touch screen

so, i m a bit confusing now..
which one shud i choose?
htc or samsung?

note : i think, i don really mind if pda phone without touch screen,
but need profesional opinion on both pda phone
in terms of its realibility, functionality etc etc

tq so much fren! realy appreciate your kind opinion.

If you think they arent good enough. Got others?

tictactoe,
confusing between s730 and i780?
For my opinion, HTC S730 consider as a not so good (caz no Touch screen).
On the other hand samsung design no stylish( because the keyboard outside).

Hence when comparing both HTC is a better choice.
HTC brand was a company that profession in PDA.
While samsung on the trend going to PDA field.

In my opinion HTC TyTN II (but over ur budget).

U need to use GPS and touch screen?if yes with ur budget u can take i780.
If no, consider HTC s730.
Samsung i730 talk time and stand by time longer than S730.

No idea when release in M'sia {1 years, 6 months, 3 months, 1 month? No body (CEO in the hp compan might know la) can predict the arriving date to m'sia}
But for sure if u want those hp u can go overseas to buy and take it back.ELSE buy at international online such as ebay.
