Looking to buy Nokia phone.

Are the listed prices on the first page accurate?

Difference between ORI and non-ORI?

Hi Guys, I wanna buy a new phone (brand new, original with warranty).

I saw Nokia X3-02 (X3 Touch and Type) 78g RM550 and Nokia 6730 83g RM480.

Which should I get between these two? S40 vs Symbian/S60?

Apart from these two Nokias, are there any others around the range of RM400-RM600 for older (high end) models that have nice features?

I don't care about the camera or 3G, I like something not too heavy (old phone was 115g), touch or slide or normal or whatever, with WLAN. I don't mind QWERTY or numpad, but I'd like the phone screen to be not too small. If the price is within range, then 115+g is still ok.

Thanks.

I wish to buy a new Nokia. I have never used a touchscreen phone before, but I'd like to, because the screen is huge (compared to the 2.2 inch, S40 Nokia I use). I am, tho, a bit concerned about word typing on a touchscreen phone.

Guys, these are the phones I am considering:

- C6-00 (touch, qwerty-slider)
- C5-03
- X6 8GB
- 5800 Xpress Music
- 5530 Xpress Music
- X3 Touch and Type (S40, 2.4 inch screen) RM550 at shop

Which one is worth the money or has most value? Quote/estimate price if possible please.

I am open to other brands, do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Guys I wish to buy a new phone (any brand):

- <RM800
- Touch screen
- Qwerty slider
- Metal casing
- WLAN

Does any such phone exist, or do all of them cost >RM1000?
I don't mind ones that were made/released over a year ago.

Otherwise, I want a phone that has:

- Metal Casing
- Touch screen
- WLAN
- Costs less than RM800, ideally ~Rm600

I ask this because a lot of the touchscreen phones I have browsed through are all plasticky, and the closest thing (N97 mini with metal battery casing) costs >RM1000.

Because plastic is flimsy and less durable compared to metal. I regret that my previous phone (made of ordinary plastic) has become badly damaged, even though I took good care of it.

Of course, any of them are fine if those "protective rubber/synthetic casings" are available.

Thanks for recommending HTC Wildfire.
I'm not sure about its price, I found RM900-1000+ online, but since it's not super new it might be lower.

I believe 5530 might suit me more as it is less expensive. However, I am mostly concerned with Symbian ^1 since a lot of people complain.

If I wanted Android, what other phones could I get apart from HTC Wildfire, that have solid build quality (or at least have good protective casings available), and cost ~RM800 or less?

For Sony Ericsson phones I don't quite like the normal user interface. If I buy an Android or Symbian Sony Ericsson, does it become more user friendly (like Nokia) for someone not accustomed to the usual Sony Ericsson?

THANKS!

So, then Symbian must be Nokia not SE now.

You're right, an expensive phone is not worth getting, I've made that mistake before and I really regret it.

That is why I want a good low range Android or Symbian phone with touchscreen (because those OSs are not fun with buttons).

Are there touchscreen Android phones available (without major flaws) for ~RM600-800?

LG Optimus One is pretty new, I like the specs and functions, good big screen, document editor, Android etc.

According to advanced/pro-users, Android/Froyo is better than Symbian^1 or Symbian^3 right?

Ah I see, so Android is better for most people for occasional games. Symbian seems boring - many users complain of lag, plus the Symbian^3 Nokias have problems.

Wildfire looks ok but is expensive. LG Optimus One looks good to, slightly less. Samsung Galaxy 5 sucks compared to these two.

I guess I will look at LG Optimus One - I actually wanted Nokias but there's all this bad stuff said about C6-00, N97 mini etc.

LG Optimus One should have cover/protector available right? I'm a little clumsy with the phone sometimes.

LG Optimus - commented ugly? I suppose it looks ok, though some have called it boring.

But I think it costs over RM800.
