Heya sifus. Needs suggestions on a new phone.

1. Brand
Nokia, but willing to try new brand. I hear that Sony Ericson is famous for cameraphones.

2. Budget
500 - 600.

3. Specs.
A good cameraphone within that price range. Prob good if it plays mp3 too. Also needs good calendar/organizer/reminder function.

4. Type/Size.
Preferably no lipat2 ones...

If you would like to try SE, do you mind second hand set that has good condition? You can try K800i, a spendid camera phone.

If you want new set, w810i is a good choice too.

For nokia, 6288 is good too with 3G, but slide slide smile.gif

k750i etc


but try to look for a second hand k800, i bet you wont regret buying it cause second hand is dirt cheap
