Hi, can anyone help me decide which phone should i choose:
Nokia N95
SE W960i
LG KU990 Viewty

right now im only interested in those 3 and after reading posts about those phones its really hard to decide which one should i go for. my priority would be the functionality but of course i'd like to have a good camera as well. In terms of design, i like all of them  biggrin.gif
My mind keeps telling me to buy the N95 but i also like the w960i..and as for the viewty, i only like the touch screen feature(cant use iphone coz not all telco support it, and by all i mean in other countries as well).

So guys help me decide  tongue.gif  i was gonna buy the n95 until my mate told me to come to this site and look for more information on other phones  sweat.gif
*



I would go for N95. It is with 5MP and it's a symbian phone. I like Nokia because Nokia has the 2nd hand value.
M1X
If you aim for good cam, go to N95. If you want alot of function and moddings, go N95 also. SE W series cam have several weakness, like no good shooting if light condition not good; close object will blur, pretty much color-artifacts.

If you want a super slim one, go SE-W series. Else if you don't mind a big block of electronic in your poket-seluar, go N95.

If you love musics, running around wearing the canel-phone all the time like me... go W960i. Trust me, you won't disappoint with the sound! The Super Bass minda overkill though, I tweak the equalizer myself to get a better result. But overall, it's stunning! I bet only those real pro and expensive canel-phone can beat the SE stock canel-phone... Sound is clear and easy to heard, bass also deep enough. It's even better than my PC's surround sound speaker ~ truth.

So far I'm not quite interest in LG though.

If u want a touch screen device, go for a PDA....If no i'd say go for the N95.
Y aren't u considering N82?

haha PDA sounds too 'business-like' for me if u know wat i mean.. well for some reason i dont really like the N82's design..i think the N95 looks much better than that tongue.gif

anyway i've decided to buy the N95, thanks for the replies guys smile.gif

I think you should ask here

So far, my friends' W580i doesn't give any problems to them.
And the design can attract everyone's attention biggrin.gif
I intend to buy it last time, but there are a few factors that turn me off sad.gif

Another slider phone will be S500i for SE biggrin.gif

That is one of the main reason.

Others will be :

I like HTC Touch for the swift touch only. And it is slim.

But for me, I would choose NK N series.

It depends on your own preference and what you use.
If you need a PDA type, go for HTC.
If you need a phone type with nice music and camera, go for N series.
lkjune
1. Brand. - prefer NK, SE, MOTO but others brand still acceptable
2. Budget. - >RM500 <1000 cheaper is more comfortable for me.
3. Specs. - Camera > 3MP, FM, 3G
4. Type/Size. - any

Others

If got PDA liked OS and WiFi is better.
Prefer more functions.

TQ.

W810i, old phone but still a very good phone nod.gif

Hi guys, I don't know much about telephones so I need some help!

1. Brand - Any brand except Motorola (I've used a V3 for 2 years now and I hate it)
2. Budget - Below 1000? Cheaper is better...
3. Specs - I just want a basic telephone, don't need funky stuff like cameras or music or video..... most important things are:

a. Long battery life for standby and talking
b. Slim to fit into clothes without an ugly bulge
c. Not heavy like a brick
d. Programs are not slow and laggy (like my louya Motorola mad.gif)
e. Good call quality, with good speaker phone for conference calls
f. Got Bluetooth
g. Must be able to use in other Asian countries (I travel alot due to work)
h. Won't berkecai if drop on the floor

so basically I just want a simple & functional telephone, not a MP3 player+GPS+Camera+Movie Player+Email+Internet+Laser Gun....

4. Type/Size - Small, slim flip-phone (clamshell) please. nod.gif Ugly is okay, phone is to keep in my pocket not to hang on my chest.

Any feedback would be appreciated! wub.gif I've been looking all over and I can't find a phone to meet my needs. sad.gif

So my good old NOKIA finally breaks down on me, uh, here goes:

1. Brand.
any that is good.

2. Budget.
RM700~750

3. Specs.
Would like something that does decent job on both mp3 and cam.

4. Type/Size. (Candybar, Clamshell etc...)
Prefer slider phone, I liked the SE S500i's design a lot but I feel it is lacking in both mp3 and cam feature.

I would choose N82. The camera is 5.0MP
N81 is only 2.0MP, but we just can't deny that it is a slide phone and the design is nicer.
K850 quality is not as good as N82.

Thanks for the input, but the two phones you mentioned are not flip phones so I would think twice. The Sony Ericsson phone is really fat!

I found a website which gave me these names:

Nokia 6600 Fold
Samsung D830
NEC e636
Samsung Z620
Samsung J630
Samsung A746
Samsung A717

but I am not sure which one really suits my needs. Anyone know anything about these phones?
