So my upgrade is due...

[LinuxMan]

Need to decide on a new phone, using a Nokia E51 at the mo...

Voda's new "deals" come out 28 Feb, any recommendations on phones to be looking at ?

Was thinking , Nokia 5800, E52.... But i dunno..... Help me out here

 

[blaaislaai]

N97?

5800 is a bit outdated now, came out in 2008 me thinks

Price range will determine the phone...

Don't get a phone first, then a package. See what you use, how much you need, then get the best phone available on those contracts.

So true Budza, i'm on a topup 200s at the mo.... the 5800 is quite outdated now tho

 

[Budza]

I have the 5800, was the best I could get at the time. On Anytime 200

Not too sure what's out there now- maybe an HTC Dream for a good price (<R200 for R200 airtime). Paying much more than what you get just isn't worth it for me. What features are you looking for??

Get an iPad!

It's the Jesus Tablet!

i was using the E51, and got the HTC magic... other options are the E52... but no touch : )

I've just got an E72, it's a nice phone - see if it's on some sort of special.

If you liked your E51, then you will be very pleased with the E52. I followed the same route. Bigger screen, faster processor, amazing battery. I didn't pay anything in on VC Weekender+, ordering through VC direct I only paid R45 for delivery, no admin fee. E72, if you have the $$$$$...

wot a coincident .. Due 1 March and using E51 ... Also contemplating E52 .. only checked it on GSM Arena and think its a way to go.. E51/52/... seem better than the E65/66/... ranges for me ... But currently E52 is not available on MyCall 100 on MTN, hopefully will be on march

 

[LinuxMan]

yeah and voda wanna charge me R899 for the E52 :/ ............... Dam rip off hey! im already spending R210 p/m

 

[RetroPedro]

Nice is the E52 available in black tho ? silver is poo

Got the silver one, don't know if black is available. Only found out about the white text that's not clear in certain light conditions hours before I got the phone. Doesn't bother me much now after three weeks of use, one tends to be forced to remember where the keys are, a good practice in any case...

 

[LinuxMan]

Yeah the Magazines are available in the store.. The new ones come out 28Feb, so im waiting to see if their will be anything exciting.....
Maybe they will bring out the E51 in Black
