Title: Advice needed for Mobile Phone Rnewal.
Post by: Big Fra on 20 January 2008, 21:40:09: I know this has nothing to do with Omegas, but an opinion would be greatly appreciated as I just dont know what to get.

There are a great number of people on here, with a varied background and skillbase. So your opinions all count.

6310i

Had one, great phone, but moved on now.

Basically I want the majority of PDA functions, but not all.
Full outlook synchronisation is a must, as is mp4 and divx compatibility.
Email, decent camera, and large memory.

I know the Nokia N95 has a sat nav facility also.

I am looking at start a little part time delivery driving job and therefore need to buy a more economical car. :(

I think my choice has been made, but as I am one of the worst decision makers around, I would like a general opinion from you guys on here.

Me too - a great phone. Excellent battery life, no camera, colour screen etc.

I tried a 6300 for a while after my incident before Christmas, but hated it.

Where can I get another one?

Post by: tunnie on 22 January 2008, 13:24:42: 6230i is a good replacment.

Fast, reliable... excellent battery life.

I have a pair of 6230i. Great phone if you want it as a phone, but still a big buggy.

Post by: Admin on 22 January 2008, 20:14:04: I have an N95 but I would recommend the SE (I have a W810i also, bl**dy superb phone!)

SE really are making some superb phones nowadays.

Post by: dippydave on 22 January 2008, 20:23:37: I'm a Nokia bunny - find the menus and style the best so I'd recommend the N95 8GB (much better than the original N95 according to friends who have em)

I've got a 6300 which has annoying buttons for my fat fingers sometimes, but is better than my 6210/6310 as the battery doesn't fall off and switch the thing off mid-call!

Think the Nokia's camera is pretty damn good, but by all accounts you can't beat Sony-Ericssons cameras. They seem to be making cameras which can do calls these days! Depends on your priorities!

As for PDA types, the O2 XDAs have done it best for my techie mates for years. There's always Blackberry's too :) Have fun!

Post by: TheBoy on 22 January 2008, 20:30:46: If you want a camera, buy a friggin camera. No mobile I have ever used (and I get to use a lot!) has an acceptable camera. By their nature, they cant have.

I'll cable tie my 35mm SLR to my phone - beat that.

(Oh dear Hasselblad have released a phone! ;D)

Yeah, I know wot you mean. Still have my P800 from 5-6 years ago, still working perfectly even after being in a cupboard for 3 years untouched. Can't bear to get rid of it.

Got a W850i just now, brilliant. SE just haven't anything out just now that I like the look of.
