What is ur budget? All the font is standard. Unless you use symbian OS where there is a thirdparty application that allow user to enlarge the font.


Go for N82 if you prefer xenon flash over 8GB. Practically both of the phone is the same .

The only difference is

N82
- candy bar
- xenon flash
- auto rotate built-in


N95 8GB
- dual slide
- auto rotate screen only with installation of rotate me 2.0
- built in 8GB
- larger screen 2.8"

I wouldn't suggest w960i due to Sony Ericsson is not good in making symbian phone. It just not their type. There wouldnt be much third party application for the phone either.

While N95 8GB and N82 has built in GPS and 5megapixel and DVD recording quality which is way better than w960i.

Its hard to make decision. Do try both of them out on the phone shop. Oh there is rumour saying nokia is planning to release N82 8GB soon.

Indeed viewty is a good phone that has a similar camera function like N95 / N82

however, N82 flash is really good, better than k800.

Viewty is a touchscreen phone however there isnt any operating system for the phone. Unlike windows mobile or symbian. They have a lots of third party software for us to play around or enhance the capability of the phone. Not only that , although the phone has a large screen and is a touch screen phone but it lacks of WiFi capability or at least have a better web browser application like opera/netfront/safari. Look at iphone, though it is not a good camera phone, but it has a good browser and wifi.

So N82/N95 really has everything that we need. From A to Z. WiFi, camera, camcoder, xenon flash (n82), 8GB (N95 8GB), Symbian OS 9.2, GPS, built in 3D accelerator chip for gaming purpose (ngage) etc...


Its really a good phone I must say. However not all people like to play around with software and application, they might prefer something elegant , stylish or simple. So they might go for viewty / iphone.

But there are people who likes new thing, eg. symbian that has updating software from time to time, ngage 2.0 games that has really stunnnig 3D graphic.

There is a few for you to choose, like N73ME, 5700, 6120classic.

5700 will be a good choice since its a music express phone and symbian as well. Its hard to say if it lags or not. Depending on how you use it

Nothing much to consider.

K800i is better interm of features with 3.2Megapixel, autofocus , xenon flash, 3G etc...

Get k800, don worry about image thing, i have frens (girl) that use k800 as well. And guy who use z610i. Since someone gonna buy it for u, so go for it. For imaging, k800 is way better with xenon and autofocus. For music, more or less is the same!

A good phone with camera ( autofocus ) and music. The only drawback is without 3G. Price have to check at garage sales there!

Go for N95 8GB, no regrets, remmeber LG choc? and K750, look at the price of both the phone now... which one has better second hand value?

#1 No need to pay, you only need to download the map and software and you are ready to go. Only AGPS need to pay which is assisted GPS.
#2 yes u need to install extra software, there are quite a few software for u to choose. They are not free, unless u use ahemahem version.
#3 For this question you need to ask in N95 8GB thread in phone specific discussion.
$4 For the diff check here for more info http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/495629

top up slightly 50-80 get a second hand K750

Nothing major, walkman and extra button. However his budget is 300, getting a k750 with top up is ok, w810 is too much for him to top up

There is plenty of phone out there, since you don care much with functions.

Go for a Nokia S40 that has 240x320 screen resolution.

I would say Nokia 6233 / Nokia 6300 both are good phone. Think about it.


Video quality is depends on your video. Not the phone, of course you can choose, some phone has a limited 15fps playback but high bitrate like nokia. SE has a relative lower bitrate but support up to 30FPS. But symbian is the best , no problem with 500kbps and 30FPS.

For stylish phone I really got no idea cause all the phone looks same to me, specs is more important.


Perhaps SE Z610i? A flip phone... any phone in market will do, nowadays most phone is 2megapix and with memory slot, perhaps you can come up with more specific specs like screen reso, autofocus, etc....

For battery life it varies on how u use, and what set are u buying whether its ori or AP set. It depends actually on what the AP set gives u... for accuracy check in their respective thread discussion and ask the members there

btw check this

and this

http://www.google.com.my/search?hl=en&clie...nG=Search&meta=

For me I will go for 6233 instead of 6300.


6233 is good in music playing. For the second hand , RM450-500 is the price. It shouldnt be more than that

For SE, go for k800/k810 for the performance, it will never fail you. The music quality with HPM70/82 is very good, I use it b4 and all I can say it is superb, no regrets. Not to forget 3.2megapix and xenon. If you wana compare with W series, the only drawback of k800/k810 is the music player isnt that advance, meaning it cant filter the songs by genre etc. Bass wise, with HPM70/82 and tweak the equalizer, u are ready to go.

For nokia, the perhaps 5610 is your choice. Stylish, 3.2megapix, music phone with music chip built in. However there seems to be several bugs with the phone, do check in 5610 thread see if the new firmware fix those bugs.


Haha, you seems to have many question , its kinda hard to explain every single question here though. However if you are able to come up with a budget and specific feature like camera with autofocus / good music player etc, its easier for me to intro to you.

A second hand 6288 should be good.

Hmm, I will assume standard camera is 2.0megapix with no autofocus.

So, with your budget I will go for Nokia 6288, slider, classy, fashion, standard cam with 640x480 @ 15FPS video recording, decend music player. Bluetooth v2.0 , 3G.

It is a good buy.


Internal 8GB is the difference too.

What is the exact requirement? What do you want in your phone. That can let us to help u decided better. Example, maybe u like music, camera , or some other features.


I will go for K750i, better camera and best thing is we can mod it according to our need.

Something with the K530i LCD, it look yellowish, i got 2 friend who own them and seriously i don like the LCD.

K750i camera after modding it, it is superb. and with autofocus too.

Another thing is do you use 3G?

There isnt much difference in term of music quality. Unless u are an audio freak, then u might notice the difference.

Go for the camera, Music Player of K series is lousier in term of the sorting method, as in W series we can sort according to Album , Genre etc.

But in K series we can only sort in Artist. While for megabass, don worry about it, in K800, the most left and most right equalizer set to max and equip ur phone with latest firmware match up with HPM 70/82 then its near to walkman already. Camera is better in K series unless u are talking about w810 which has a quite good camera also.


Nokia 6280/6288

Nokia N70

SE W660i

SE K618i

and more....

Of course, getting a second hand k800 is something like a new k750. Guess wat, only RM500-600 can get a second hand k800. With the 3.2megapix and autofocus, it can last you longer and with 3G somemore. Not to forget it has a good music quality play back in HPM70/82 earphone

Exactly same picture quality with difference firmware and design only.

Personally, I don fond of design, anyphone is good to me as I only see the function and price.

New K800 only 700-800 only. AP set.

I will say go for K800 if u got the budget, can last u longer with the 3G and camera

No problem, the best is go to shop and test it urself see which one suits u

good luck in buying ~

Hmm, Nokia 6288? Looks nice with the glossy housing, the battery is long lasting, can listen for music up to 5hours + sms + a few calls and a few hours standby ... based on my experience. Screen Resolution is 240x320, big enough and bright, 2megapixel with VGA recording @ 15FPS , good recording quality. Support miniSD up to 2GB.

AP set should be around RM700-800. Memory card for miniSD is around RM65 only for 2GB.

For AP and Original check out this thread. Read the first post

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/495629

If that so, go for K800i , second hand is only 500-600. 3.2megapixel xenon flash autofocus etc.... 3G also.... tested it again video call with my friend just now on latest firmware, working like a charm, smooth and cool.


N95 8GB should be a good camera phone with dedicated music key and 8GB internal memory that is good enough for u to load songs and pictures.

N82 keypad is too small for u....


If that so, why not consider N81 8GB with only 2megapixel with extremely good music quality that u will put both thumbs up high like this

I am using it, simply good excellent quality with strong bass. Not to forget a smartphone with the best processor for symbian S60 at the moment. It is Equiped with 3 audio chip, DAC33 which is better than 5610 DAC33 chip. Another 2 is noise reduction chip and one more bass reproduction chip. The camera isnt that good cause got no autofocus only 2 megapixel.

Slide phone with 2 dedicated key for NGAGE2.0 and 4 dedicated key for music player. It has NAVI Wheel which work like ipod where we scroll around the touch sensitive dpad to navigate in gallery or music player.

AP set is 1.5k while ori set is 1.9k.

Check over the Garage Sales, many are selling new set there. Try to use search



If you got the time and money lets wait for the W960i. It has 8GB.

Otherwise go for P1i since u like yeng


Nokia 6288? Slider phone new set only RM700 +-. W850i slider phone also. Cause there isnt any specific features u want.

A lot, all shop selling AP set at that price. If u see then selling higher than 800, then go for another shop


I am taking back the typing that i typed previously.


N81 8GB with only with extremely good music quality that u will put both thumbs up high like this

I am using it, simply good excellent quality with strong bass. Not to forget a smartphone with the best processor for symbian S60 at the moment.

Screen is better, newer model, symbian OS9.2, NGAGE, wifi, 8GB!



Read up a few page back, I recomended a phone for you, and also the reference for the meaning of AP

I'll go for N81 8GB, for the memory, navi wheel (ipod feel), ngage, wifi, ngage, symbian OS 9.2 , integrated audio chip to enhance the sound quality.

cons is lack of 3.5G only.

There is also a few other model like s500i, w580i, w910i... all slim and slide phone
