Boswell Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Am going to buy a new phone tonight and have narrowed my choice down to the Sony Ericsson W910i which is new out, has a walkman but only has a 2MP camera. The second phone im interested in is the Samsung G600 which has a 5MP camera but is kinda old now. Need your opnions please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Do you want it to listen to music on or take pictures?Seeing as MP3 players are better than MP3 phones for playing MP3s, I'd go for the one with the 5mp camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) I've had the G600. To be honest, the camera actually isn't that good. Everything just looks bad, colors are wrong.Also, lots of bugs/problems with it, in the sense of; If someone rings you when it's slid up, you can't answer it. The MP3 Player cuts out randomly. The screen has a habit of forgetting how to turn on. I've also heard of other issues which are more serious with them. If you google G600 Problem in google, there are lots of Q&A's.Edit: I'll add. I was on contract, and they did replace the phone many time. The errors were still there.I was with Vodaphone.

MadManMike Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Cameras on phones suck.Seriously, don't let that influence your choice. My brother has the 5MP Viewty and it's no better if not worse than my 2 year old Samsung 3MP camera.I've never seen a good one and I've seen the majority of new phones!

Hendrix Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Is it just me or does the interface seem really boring and plain?You can get additional themes, but overall it's a what is described as "business phone", without any of the facilities.I won't knock Sony Ericssons. After the G600 I went back to my old SE W300i. It looks like poo, but it's the best phone in the world. I've had it since I was 15!! It's been dropped off bikes, even stupidly left it on the roof of a car, it dropped off. No crack, and it didn't even turn off!Would strongly advise a SE; not sure on the current models though. Read some reviews on the best one, and test them ALL out.Testing out the phones is what put me off buying a Motorola V3i when I was 16.

Hendrix Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Wouldn't advise getting one tonight. Go to the local carphone warehouse and try out a range of the Sony's.Some of the new Sonys have horrible keys and a boring menu layout. Though some of the new ones are brilliant.But stay away from Samsung, they're cheap horrible crap haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Think you've picked two stinkers there palThe w910i are very unreliable, ive owned one and another 3 friends have too all broken within around 4 months, from buttons cracking, to screens not responding and smashing very easily.The g600 again is a pretty small flimsy phone with a very poor cameraSamsung g800 is much better than the g600 imo, i got mine about 6 months ago as new for £150, hasnt let me down, the camera is great, nice and sturdy, good interface etc cant complain best phone ive owned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 http://www.mobile-phones-uk.org.uk/sony-ericsson-w960i.htmIn a nutshell: Sony Ericsson's flagship Walkman phone offers a wealth of features: it's a 3G Symbian SmartPhone with an excellent 3.2 megapixel camera, video recording and video calling, a Walkman music player, an FM radio, touch screen, web browsing, email, Bluetooth and WLAN connectivity and 8 Gbytes of user memory.

ti-mig-guy Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Seeing as how mp3 and camera options on phones suck ass, I went a different direction. I got a Casio rugged phone. These phones don't offer tons of bells and whistles, but you can chuck it at a wall and it's fine. Also it is water resistant, I dropped mine in a lake, had to dive for it and it still works. It takes reasonable pics, but they do not offer a mp3 player in the states, but perhaps there they do. If you want a phone that will last ages look into them, if you want a fancy, impress your buddies phone, then by all means those phones look shiny and bling bling-ish, but I have no idea about the function-ability of your choices.
