hi can recommend me a phone?

budget between RM700 - RM1k 

primary usage: online (3G/wifi - browsing internet must be easy & user friendly), snap pictures (prefer with good camera)
optional: GPS 

I have a few models in mind but have some concerns,
n79 (i heard the keys are hard to use)
n82 (like everything except the keypad),
5800 (like everything except the camera & build quality)
5730 (not sure about the pros and cons of this one)

besides these phones, are there any other phones/brands that meet the above requirements?  hmm.gif
or which should i choose from the above lists?
*
go for N79

but i advice you to test the N79 and N82 by yourself..

so that you will know which hp is the best[in keypad]

Hi guys, thinking of getting the Nokia 5800. Touchscreen, audio output jack, wifi and 3G access right?

My budget is about 1k+, any important things I should know about the phone before I go out and buy it?

What's the price I should be paying? thx.

EDIT: Looked around abit and it's 16GB too, that's good.

Btw, what's the market price of N97, looks sweet.
*
5800..around 1k..
N97 - RM2100+

QUOTE(nghj @ Sep 6 2009, 07:38 PM)
Please read the first post, use this format below
and prices for phones can be searched at garage sales.
If u have stated a budget, maybe can discuss a bit about it.

But since u are interesting in 5800xm, u can proceed to the 5800 thread

Thanks aspire2oo6 =)
do u know what is the diff btw n78 , n79 and n82 ??
n82 is quite old right? but i found out the spec of this phone quite "zhun" leh  drool.gif is it better than n78 and n79?
*
First thing you should know that N78 is the worst among them,,,
- its 3.2mpx camera with a LED flash...
- other thing is normal in Nseries phone.. - Ngage,WLAN , GPS with A-GPS...
- S60 FP2

N79
- 5mpx phone with dual LED flash
- nice camera and video quality
- S60 FP2 , newer feature pack.. better than FP1[in interface]
- XpressON Covers[change theme automatically when changing cover]
- other thing is same like newer Nseries has[WLAN,GPS with A-GPS , Ngage..etc...


N82
- 5mpx with xenon flash
- nice camera quality
- S60 FP1
- older but wiser[cheaper,wiser than buying N78]
- other thing that Nseries have.. WLAN,GPS with A-GPS, Ngage.. etc...


the specs also almost same but :-
N79
- is using Symbian OS 9.3 with S60 3.2 UI[S60V3FP2]
- has XpressOnCovers[can change back cover,everytime you change the back cover.. the theme will changed too..]
- has nice interface[new Feature pack]
- 5MP camera , with autofocus , LED flash 2nd generation
- has FM transmitter

so when comparing N79 and N82..
- N79 better in video recording[at night[with LED flash helps] and day too]
- N79 has nicer interface[i mean the UI]
- N79 has XpressOnCovers,nice
- N79 has FM transmitter[can hear mp3 at radio,just transmit it from hp]
- N82 better in taKing photos[because of Xenon Flash too]
- N82 has 3D grapic accelerator[actually not much diff]
- N82 has better processor[actually not much diff too]


N79 is newer and N82 is older.. but the price is almost same
both - RM 990 - AP
N79 - RM 1150 - ORI
N82 - RM 1100 - ORI

the nearest competitor for N79 is N85
N85
- same OS and FP with N79
- 5MP camera , with autofocus , LED flash 2nd generation
- has FM transmitter
- using Active Matrix OLED[AMOLED] screen - the most beautiful,brilliant screen[lol]... and it saves battery a lot
- slide and stylish phone
- the rest all the specs almost same with N79[except for xpressoncovers]

N85
- RM 1280 - AP
- RM 1400 - ORI

Hi guys, hope you can help me out here~ biggrin.gif

1. Brand: Nokia or Sony-Ericsson
2. Budget: RM2-2.5k
3. Specs: Preferably with a good camera and WiFi, while screen resolution, games, video and music are a good bonus
4. Type/Size: Preferably slider (luv them)

Phones I have in mind:

Nokia N86 8MP

I like:
amoled screen
sleek design
wide-angle camera, twin flash & lens protector
the fact that u can play N-Gage games

But:
Kinda having doubts bout the symbian os, I used to own a Nokia 3650 (nice phone btw) and it got pretty laggy

Sony-Ericsson W995

I like:
-polished-metal look
-walkman features
-camera seems similar to the C905
-flash interface (I used to own a w550i)

But:
-the interface does seem to getting a little old now
-no lens protector

Another 2 phones I have in mind if I stretch my budget:

Nokia N97

I like:
-pretty sleek looking
-touch screen
-the swiveling of the screen panel

But:
-Having doubts on whether I'd like the keypad
-not familiar wif the OS
-wonder if it's bulky

Sony Ericsson XPeria X2

I like:
-looks darn good
-touch screen
-amoled display
-has slightly nicer keypad than the N97

But:
-Also having doubts on whether I'd like the keypad
-wonder if it's bulky
-dunno when it's out

Hope you guys can help... I'm not that really in a hurry, maybe sometime next month perhaps? biggrin.gif
*
The Symbian OS .. isnt kinda lagging when the phone use good processor..
IMO .. N97 is a lot better than SE Xperia X1.. but not sure with X2..

X2 seems the best among the phone that you've listed

based on your phone that you list above..
you have listed WM phones , Symbian Phones..and standard phones...
if you okay with standard phones.. W995 is the best choice...
its better if you dont know how to handle a smartphone...


Overall X2 is the best...
with 256 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM.. for sure it is powerful phone..

u have a point... I'm not too familiar wif smart phones (nvr owned one be4). might have to fiddle around with the N97 and/or wait for the X2 to come out and see how it's like... since probably gonna stick wif the phone for a while

the w995 seems to have a good mix, u'd recommend this over the N86 8mp?
*
for me .. i would rather choose Xperia X2 than N868MP..
but between N86 and W995.. i would choose N86..
it is because the OS..
Without Symbian/WinMo .. W995 has no fun... it is just bored phone...
yeah i know that.. W995 is better in audio , ..but N86 is better for overall performance..

but between N86 and N97.. i would choose N97..
yeah because it has qwerty keypad and touchscreen phone..
i'mnot choose which megapixel is higher..because higher megapixel doesnt mean the camera quality is good..
N97's camera lens seems better,,,

Your budget seems too low... for better phone..
RM 800++ - N78 flex.gif

I felt kinda the same when I tried both the N86 and the W995... the symbian os does seem a lil more interesting...
yeah i know megapixels dun necessarily mean better pix, i think i have to try both the N97 and N86's cameras to see how they're like. btw, qwerty on a phone easy to use ar? (i kno silly question  blush.gif )

qwerty is easier la..
typing sms faster[but need to hold by both hand la]

I am searching for:

- SE .. . . .  or other brand
- Document reader
- Candybar phone (not interested in slide/touchscreen/clampshell)
- 3mpix or more (actually for taking pic of notes/document.. . . as long as they are clear n readable)
Actually i was targeting to buy SE c901... (5 mpix, candybar, slim design)  drool.gif

.. but no Document Viewer was a major drawback..
no i really have to decide..  rclxub.gif
huhu..

p/s:
if SE phone have no Document Viewer..
do they have any other software that might help? icon_question.gif

Hi fellow sifus,

I plan to get a new handphone that is able to support GPS. I am a total noob in this so I wana know if there is any payment or special type of phone required to support GPS? Any particular phone to recommend? Budget around 1k. Thanks
*
the phone that has integrated GPS can use GPS for free...

the phone that i recommended to buy is Nokia - N82 , N78

you just need to buy the Garmin or Nokia license...

and use Garmin / Nokia software

better go for Garmin..

Hi thanks for the reply bro. So roughly how much is the license fee for Garmin? Is it calculated per month? Or depending on how much data I download? Does the Nokia E75 have built in GPS functionality as well? Terribly sorry if my questions have been answered before but I might need to get this unit soon as my current handphone is starting to give out some problems  blush.gif
*
E75 has its integrated GPS... so you can use GPS for free.. just disable A-GPS to use your GPS free...


the license is RM 300 for a lifetime...

if u enable the a-GPS in your phone ..it will charge you for 10cent/10kb [depending which telco]

for other info for GPS.. pls read the whole thread of >> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/795928

5800. Owned for 1 week. Extremely satisfied. Best bang for buck phone and way cheaper than Samsung.

5800 Pros:
- Cheaper than Samsung by what..RM600? (Ori machine)
- 5800 is smartphone, runs Symbian OS. Samsung Jet is NOT a smartphone, still using propriatery O/S, no apps.
- 5800 can runs Garmin(free, no need to pay)...i drove to Seremban makan-makan with the GPS yesterday. Jet cannot runs Garmin (maybe Google Maps, which needs to pay).
- Superb web browsing experience.
- Beautiful LCD screen.(But samsung's one is nice too)
Basically, if you can tell me another touchscreen phone with WIFI, GPS, Symbian O/S for RM 1050 for original machine, i'll buy another one!
*
mind that garmin license is expensive..RM 300++
but still worth thumbup.gif

samsung jets is okay for simple user who dont mind about the OS..
the camera also better than 5800...

but to the advance user.. 5800XM is better than samsung S8000 jets..

i want to buy a new handphone to replace my 5 y.o nokia 6230
budget doesn't matter cause i seldom replace my phone...
preferred hp with very2 good camera..
TQVM
currently considering SamsungJet, Omnia II, w995 and n86..
*
W995 is for music and simple lover
because W995 is just use standard OS..so for advanced user... this phone will be bored..
but the best part of this phone is the speaker and camera quality...

N86 is for entertainment and symbian lover..
with Symbian OS... the Symbian lover will go for this phone..
all Nseries features such as - Ngage,office apps,etc.. will make the user of this phone enjoy and wont boring..
the best part of this phone is the camera and screen
with 8mp camera with variable aperture.. the quality of the photo are better and maybe the best among the phone that listed..
AMOLED screen also is brilliant..

Samsung Jet is beautiful phone
it is just for simple user. who like beautiful phone.. this phone has no advance feature..
the camera quality also good but not the best.. all i can say that. this phone is just good...
the best part of this phone is the screen.. it use AMOLED screen..brilliant !!

Samsung Omnia 2
with Windows Mobile.. this phone will not as bored as W995 and Samsung Jet..
for the WM lover.. they will know how to use this phone laugh.gif ..
with the WM software.. the user able to explore the Omnia 2 with various software..
the best part of this phone is the processor and the OS ..
with the best processor among the phone that listed.. this phone will not be laggy.. but powerful..


so from the phone that you listed above.
i will buy [based on camera capabilities and overall performance]
