Prefer user friendly phone like nokia and se.

LG KU990
-Touchscreen, bigger screen
-Heavier and bigger
-QVGA up to 120fps
-If you read reviews on gsmarena.com, the camera is below par of K850
-No wifi,I wish they included one.
-Flash User Interface

K850
-Cybershot GUI for the camera settings, ISO, exposure, can be said it has a more wide range of features camera wise
-Touch softkeys, well I played with it once and the softkeys sometimes doesn't activate when wanted
-Problem with dust getting under the camera lens, you can find these reports from forumers at www.esato.com
-Has Walkman style Music Player with Megabass

Thats my two cents happy choosing notworthy.gif

That is a really abstract question, 5610 has built-in music chip, so theoritically should be good. Compare to N73/K810, I am not sure.

While for clearity K810 is good, but speaker is soft, however using it with HPM82/70, the sound is great.

N73 has a really loud speaker, but clearity is slightly below K810. The sound quality for usin with ear-piece isnt that good compare to K810.

I tested them with different earphone, for best quality, K810 with HPM70 should be the best. For 5610, go test yourself in shop.

kuntaker
searching for a good sound quality phone,
Nokia or Sony Ericsson

budget around RM400-500

For SE why not consider K810i, if worry about Joystick problem can consider K770i. For better camera in low budget i suggest you go for SE as SE around the same spec is normally cheaper than Nokia. smile.gif

From here you can see the differences between 6120c and k750i
6120c don have AF but K750i is almost no longer available in the market, maybe can consider used set or those dealer who keep old stock

Just trying to find out if i bought a 2nd hand SE HP, got sirim stamp & midland stamp but the IMEI is not written and Dealer Stamp is not chop. The seller do not have the receipt because he bought from LYN forumer. But the IMEI is the same on the phone & box.
Do any of sifu here think that it'll affect my warranty claim if the phone is faulty next time? Both Warranty certificates (SE's copy & Owner copy) are still here. Do you think it will be an issue later?
Any good way to find out from SE whether this phone is still under warranty or not?

i don think so u can claim warranty...caz u need a official receipt to claim a warranty card...as i know u nid 2 send ur warranty card within 1 week after u bought the phone if not then your warranty will b voided...correct me if i'm wrong..
minthiam
Yeah, i thought he/she should send the warranty card too but if i send now will they know? Now i recalled, i never send my k750i warranty card too last time, but i still can claim the warranty? I mean aren't SE suppose to have a database for the IMEI of the hp?
