Dreaded Mobile Phones

leowyatt · 21-09-2007, 14:04

Well upgrade time is approaching and I'm stuck for what to get. Due to an impending iBook disaster I can't afford to drop £269 on an iPhone as that money will need to go towards a MacBook. I'm currently on t-mobile and would ideally like to stay there.

The only phone I'm really looking at is the SE K850i, anyone got any thoughts on it?

Dont get a Samsung G600, they are pants, it keeps freezing everytime I try and access the memory card.

Thats my only suggestion

If the K850i is the new one with the 5mp camera then it should be good, a friend and the K800i which was a nice phone.

Depends on what you want to use the phone for. Do you want a decent camera on there? Large internal storage to use as a walkman?

Oh and regarding the iphone, I found this link really helpful when I thought about getting one - http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone

Impending iBook disaster? That sounds nasty. Should we declare a national emergency?

As for the K850i, I don't have one (obviously), but I've had a look at a few reviews. It's certainly got the features you'd expect from an SE, but I think that keypad design would rapidly annoy me. The way the camera shutter has been done also suggests it'll be prone to scratching if you're not careful what goes in a pocket with it.

Would you mind if I stuck my nose in this thread and ask a smiliar question (later when I get home)?

Kitten has the K800i which is nice, that made me think about getting the 850i.

I've thought about getting an iPhone for a while and after getting to play with one in the states I wanted one even more but considering the possible forced laptop purchase, the money could be better spent elsewhere. I know the iPhone doesn't have all the features that other phones have at the moment, they can always be added later so I don't see what all the whining is about.

I already have an iPod for all my music so I'm ok there

Yeah it started kernel panicing last night and does so frequently which I think means the logic board is on the way out and they are around £300+ to replace and that doesn't include shipping and all the time to replace it (which considering what happened last time I'd pay someone) so that is going to be around £500 I think. New MacBook I think

Generally my phone is in one pocket on it's own, so hopefully it won't get too scratched but thing again knowing me

Thanks I was looking at that but was more looking at the u600 but my boss recently got one and isn't happy with it.
