Which Phone? [D900, V3xx, 6288, N76, Shine] (2 Viewers)

@simplistic: I have an N80 and they aren't a bad phone. That said it's not that great a phone. I think the options he already has are more suited to him. He wants something smooth and sexy, cheapish. Not necessarily a 3MP Camera, WiFi, etc.

Why the hell do people go for nokia??

The OS is inferior

what, a symbian operating environment? yeah...

The phone quality isn't as good

longest lasting phones I've had.

It has less features

Refer to first point about symbian operating environment.
Being a OS with a larger user base means more people writing programs.
You can usually download and install whatever you want.

It has no flair
It has no style

debatable. depends what you like.



And to conclude;
What do Sony make?
What do LG make?
What do Samsung make?
...What does Nokia make?

so which would u recommend ?? N80 or 6288 ?? (in general)

Depends what you want and how much you wanna pay.

N80 if you want the features and can afford it (it can feel a bit bricky too!)
6288 if your after something cheaper but still an okayish phone.

cheers for ALL the replies guys ... been looking into it a bit more and been talking to a few ppl ... yea ive looked at the SE W850i and I like it, great features!!! At first I stuck away from it coz I didn't realise it was a slide phone ... BUT - like $900?! ... given that ive got an ipod and that the other phones mentioned have most of the same features - they're a bit cheaper as well ... I'm gonna stay away from it ....

here's where I'm at, atm:

- LG Shine, great looks, but not great features - and its LG [NO]
- Motorola RAZR V3xx, everyone's got it [NO]
- Nokia N76, isnt as nice looking as I first thought [NO]

So, I'm left with:

- Samsung D900
- Nokia 6288

Since I like need a phone pretty quick, I'm just gonna decide between these 2! both around same price range - $650-700 ... atm im thinking its gonna be nokia since it has a bigger screen size, slider isnt as dodgy ... what do u guys reckon? between these 2!!

ok so I get that u love the phone ...
but, how is the battery life?
camera quality? (its only 2MP compared to the D900 which is like 3.2 or something)
Is the slider thing smooth or like "loose"?
oh and I haven't actually seen the phone in person but I read that it looks cheap (coz it has like a plastic cover instead of like "metal")?? >> not sure if thats true or not though ... comments??

i have the nokia 6288 as well.

- the camera quality is pretty good, but i still refer using my digital camera

- the slider is smooth.....im always playing with the slider and im kind of surprised at how smooth it still is, i hope i dont wreck it soon

- I have the silver cover and its actually a aluminium cover and NOT plastic.

- the only drawback in this phone, is the battery life, mine stays for exactly around 19-22 hours max. Some times it stays for a longer while. But i think its because i use it alot (mp3 player, alarm, reminders, to-do notes, etc).

Anyway Nokia is the best, LG sucks big time.

And to conclude;
What do Sony make?
What do LG make?
What do Samsung make?
...What does Nokia make?

i noticed you didn't have the sony ericsson on your list...i just got the one with the 3.2 mega pixel camera..loving it!

If a camera is not very important to you:

The BEST (bar NON) phone for you, at a price of 450$ on ebay is the Sony Erricson w950i
4gb flash memory usb 2, 2.6inch screen great for videos, great walkman sound quality, and uiq3.
Uiq3 is a operating system btw, so you can put programs from the net on it ( from specific forums, or u can buy)

Basically, w950i is a great cool looking mp3/mp4 phone, which is like a PDA, but only weights 115 grams.. lighter than n95 by 5 grams, and same as the nokia 6288.

I know it is more expensive than the 6288, but i think because of its features w950i is wayyyy better.

I have had the w950i for 1 month, and so far i think it is the best phone ive ever had for its price
