Ok....so hows the review....????Mega pixel camera? colours? symbien?
think o2 not bad brand.....
Well the best thing is to get a symbiem phone that basically works as a mini pc...thats all...i ask for....
Since for mp3,mpeg4 fuctions,it cannot rival a video camera and a mp3.
Digital camera only at best have 2 mega pixel.....

So happy to get rid of my dumb Sony Ericsson.
This Nokia phone is a frills-free candybar phone WITHOUT camera & bluetooth. I am now waiting out my remaining few months to switch provider.

as a user of s700i, let u in on the fact that the mp3 cannot support wma formet.strictly mp3
As for everything, it works well just that it is bulky.
One thing i wonder if it only happens to me is that the "ear piece" is easil loose after time even for a very light user like me and the cover for the charger, ear piece is loose eaily too....

me personally would favour w800i over the z00i even though the latter is a 3G one since it only has a 1.3 mega pixel which is kinda outdated already with the nokia N90.....
whilst the w800i doubles as a good mega pixel phone and well a good song player.....
if i am not wrong, the clap shell phone can be replaced with a k600i which is much lighter and in smaller frame....

My gf was actually considering Nokia 6260, 3230, SE K750i and Motorola V3.
Pretty bad reviews from cnet for the 2 nokia phones and overbudget for K750i. Most likely, the V3.
I personally like Samsung D500C.
Booker
Sep 20 2005, 11:52 PM
Warning, me V3 user here.
V3 is nice and sleek. But if you are the type that misplace things easily, don't get it. Its so small and light that you will forget it. Seriously. And its memory is 5mb only.But over all, pretty good.

Thanks for the advice. wanted to get Z800 initially as it looks nicer to me. but for practical/rational reasons, might get W800 instead.

Z800 is abit too fat
The w800i is just right
k750i volume has got problems
So my next phone would be the n70 and n91

Hey most welcomed man.....one big tip again is to ask over the counter to TRY the HP 1st......if they dont have the custom, then dont buy from them....heheh.....
check out what format the mp3 works....
understand the display side.....as in wallpapers.....and all....
memory sticks and all must be ample.....think 256+s is good enough...
Enjoy your phone....
If me, i will most prob be getting N90 nokia
p.s. it cost 1200+s as retail price....

I was a nokia supporter. I used to 'make' my whole family use nokia phone cos i think they are the most user friendly. but in recent years, their models have not improve, particularly the screen display. Nokia seemed to lack behind Samsung and Sony Ericcson in this area besides phone design. Since SE's user interface is the most similar to Nokia, I switched.

Here is a tiny list for reference in my own personal opinion
bulky
If you want a good-looking phone, go for Motorola Razr or Samsung D500. Nokia 8800
For functionality, can go for SE K750i, Nokia 6230i, SE W800
A bit of both, N90 but it is a bit

hehe no worries man....
hahah i ha dthe phone for $780 and that was in march this year......so sad to see the price gunning down so depressingly but well guess it does not hold when compared to other newly churn out cutting edge tech.
Ok yeah mine the limited edition package comes with a leather pouch and 128mb card.Internally it holds 34mb.Of course comes with charger,earpiece, software and thats all ya.....photo album holder....
398 is an ok buy loh....this can cut to 350 for a better deal.
p.s. camera works well...mp4 formet does not cover whole screen but uses a tiny bit for recording...and wall papers taken of teh net just cant seems to be maximised to fit the whole screen. I wonder if that can be deal with using photoshop and then sending it ove rto phone.

Think get a top 3 phone u wana consider, go to the shop, try them out and voila make a decision....

Pretty decent if u are a light user since its memory capacity is pretty low....shess... as for powering it up using cards, i am not very sure about the option....
Anyways....targetting clam shells now since this way, the screen is scratch free.....shess...those scratches are very disturbing especially so if u have a large screen.
Ok that will e maybe a Z800i or if i am richer, N90...

price is W800i's consideration while unexpandable memory is Motorola Razr's drawback.

buy handphone very subjective one. it depends on u want functions or not. I am also very tempted to get V3 at first. but looking at the specs and those features i want to use r not there. so i did not buy. so ask urself if u need those features and r there inside. if not, dun buy. or u can buy 2 phones. one for features and one for design and then rotate to use.
