TomN Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Get a Nokia 6230/i be more then enough. screen anit big but it's useable or get thee K750i or W800i... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Dunno if a 6630 meets your requirements in size/price but it's a bloody good phone and isn't as bulky as it looks. It is a bit slow but I presume that most Symbian phones are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dave Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 k750 is very nice, i love the radio, i forgot to mention that, a radio would be awsoom!but its 300 pounds how much did you pay ? ive found this...... Qtek s200it does lots of pointless things, but main cool thing, is its got wireless net, so it could connect to my home broard band does that look like a ligit auction ? theres one from china going for 111 pounds cheap is that dodgy?Thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Bowel Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I would go for a samsung D500. Get one off ebay dead cheap. Great for storage, got roughly 20 songs on my'n. Good cam etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 It's probably legit, but it's coming from China (=long wait) and postage is £30 (including required insurance ). So it's not that cheap after all. If you need/want a PDA and a new phone, you could probably do worse. I don't know about that particular one though.P.S. I'm after a new phone too. I don't want it to be a video recorder or anything stupid like that. I want something that's nice, small, fairly simple. A radio would be nice, but that's about all I would want I reckon.Here's the choices:Samsung d500/d600/z510/z320i/s500i/s400i/p300Sony Ericson k750i/w800i/w810i/w550iMoto V3i/V3/V3x/pebl/slvrNokia 6230i/N70I'm thinking I'll probably just be boring and get a Samsung d600 like every other f**ker, unless anyone tells me why I should get something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dave Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 thats the thing i dont need one at all that k750 looks pretty perfect for me.theres acouple on ebay, again one from china for about 170, and some from englang, but havent finished yet.trials boy how much did you pay for yours ?ilukeee - my girlfriend has a d500, its a nice phone, but doenst have enough storage, and you cant upgrade it Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Bowel Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 ahhh fair enough. I would go for a k750 then, allthough i wouldnt touch that one from china. Stay in the uk with phones seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 What's the best Sony-Ericsson phone out now then, bearing in mind I couldn't care less if it plays music or not. I have an iPod for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i wouldnt by a moto, i dont know one person that is satisfied with there's.It's on contract though so it wouldn't make any difference which I got, they're all free (when you sign up for another year ).Difference between the 750 and the 800 - not a lot besides the walkman branding I think. I think the 800 comes with a bigger memory card and obviously it looks different. The supplied headphones might be different too. Apart from that, I *think* the only difference is in the software on the phone, and I believe you can change the 750 to think that it's a w800i.

Mr Dave Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 what is the difference in the software ? lol whats walkman meanDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 what is the difference in the software ? lol whats walkman meanDaveNot sure what the difference is in the software, but like I said if you're clever enough you can upgrade the software on the k750 to the same as what's on the w800. You know, like Walkman? Music player... Sony have shoved that branding onto their new phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dave Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Ah right,what about unlocking the phone ??? can it be done on a site for free ?Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Ah right,what about unlocking the phone ??? can it be done on a site for free ?DaveI don't think so with a Sony-Ericcson. You need a terminator dongle (ebay, £15 ish) or go to your local shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Dale Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Dave i'm selling my Nokia N70 it's all unlocked only like 2 months old...talk to me about it if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I had a D500 and it was dead within a few months. From the first month I got it the screen was nackered, when I slid it down it would just all go green and freeze. A few weeks later it fell out of my pocket when I was riding and the plastic snaped, but it mended the screen problem. Then a month or two later it fell out my pocket again and the screen smashed, the case split open and it just got destroyed.They are quite nice phones with some decent functions but are a bit too big and breakable.My sister has the D600 which feels plasticy and crap, when you slide it up it just grinds against the other half of the plastic.

Tomm Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 In that case I might get a w810i then, but O2 are out of stock for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dave Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I just bought the k750i, and can honestly say i love it seems awsome atm, generally a fast phone, few processes that take a sec or two.radio is wicked qualityso is the cam Thanks for all you help everyone Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Plod Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 This may be a bit late but I would seriously recommend getting a case for the Sony Ericssons. I'm on Orange contract and so far on my 2nd K750i. The first one had a faulty camera but the one I've got at the moment seems to have the common problem what most K750i's and W800i's suffer from...the joystick going bust. Only works in one direction now, down. Think it may be because dust and such gets in the gaps so maybe gettin a case would help prevent this problem from occuring or at least slow the problem down. But yeah would do this with any Sony Ericsson phone in my opinion. I'm waiting for the new Sony Ericsson k800i to come out 3mp camera and such. Yes please also the W810i looks sexy Hope I've helped somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Picked my w810i up from the DHL depot this afternoon and i must say i rather like it. It also looks a lot nicer than the white w800 in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Do not get the K750. My 4th or 5th has gone for repair again. Apparently Sony Ericsson maybe recalling them or something, i heard this off a guy who works at o2. I would get the W810, basically a K7/W8 without joystick. Same cam ect. Im gonna try bribe o2 to change my K750 for a W810 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
