1. Brand : Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG

Need to buy a new phone for my wife, her old one was thrown into the bath tub by my daughter...
So no more expensive phones for us, we'll just live with a normal phone below rm1k with decent camera...
Thanks

Thanks for the recommendation. Any other phones u can think of? Requirements :
1. Brand : Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG
2. Budget : RM 800
3. Specs : 3G, HSDPA, camera with autofocus
4. Type / size : any, not too bulky, suitable for a lady

is Nokia 6210 navigator (AP) within the rm800 budget?
I just checked 6120 doesn't come with autofocus camera but i'm not sure about 6121.
And, is Sony Ericsson C702 and K770i within the budget?
Anybody using those 3 phones??? Any problems with them??? Are they easy to use???

If u want the best Nokia phone with a 5 megapixel camera consider N82. AP set should be within your budget and coming with Xenon flash. A lot of phones these days coming with LED flash instead of Xenon...

Software wise, I never encountered any crash or hang, phone software is responsive also it doesn't have the lag of previous Nokia models. Have been using it for close to 1 year now. The OS is Symbion so there are loads of 3rd party software or games out there. Oh and the torchlight is available also using a freeware that will make the flash stay on. Using this phone really changed my perception towards Nokia phones.

Highly recommended!!!

Will consider C702 for my wife... Any rough idea about the price? If buying original set, will it be within RM800? Or just AP set only within the budget?

Bro i seriously want to... But Shah Alam....... too far....
Any branch around KL / PJ???

For Nokia phones with build in GPS, if u update the phone firmware, it will upgrade to the new Nokia Maps 2.0
It is not free to use it though, if u want real time tracking of your vehicle (which means it will track where u are and direct u accordingly) u have to pay for the service count by days
For the free version only simulation is available (it will assume u're traveling on a constant speed and will NOT track your position in real time)
The subscription of Nokia Maps 2.0 is based on days (30/60/380 days)
If u want pay once use forever GPS search for this -> Garmin Mobile XT to be used together with Symbion s60v3 phones (n82, n96 etc etc)

Guys, my wife saw the C702, and she don't like it... So I'm thinking of skipping some of the functionality of the phone to get her... Right now I'm thinking of:

Sony Ericsson:
W 760i red
Z 770i
W 380i
K 660i
K 850i
W 580i pink

LG:
KE 970

Samsung:
SGH-U700

So which phone should I get for her? Are there any other better recommendation? My budget is around RM800.
Thanks

Depends on how u use it actually...
If u're always playing Ngage or Java games yes batt will be flat very fast (but so is other phones not just limited to Nokia N82)
If u're just using it for casual calls and casual sms normally it would last for 3 days + (batt flat on 4th day)

Ori Zitron batt can actually outlast other "non-ori" brands. I bought a "non-ori" one as spare but the batt life still not as good as the Zitron one that came with the phone.....

would want to get a new phone for my wife:

1. brand : preferably nokia, second sony ericsson (original zitron warranty)
2. budget : rm1,000 max
3. specs : 3g video call
4. type or size : doesn't really matter but pls not something big and bulky, preferably suitable for girl use

thanks
