Which phone?

[jannievdberg]

I am due for an upgrade and I'm on a Talk 130 on Voda. Can anyone recommend a phone for me? I dont mind paying in, but not more than R2000.

i600
N95
Sony Ericsson...

What do you want in a phone?

 

[sand_man]

sony ericsson k850i, nokia n95 or htc tytn II...

The thing is, Im not really sure what I want in a phone...
I want a phone with all the bells & whistles (HSDPA, Video calling, etc), but its got to stand out as a great phone, not just a good phone. Is the Samsung i600 a great phone? I know it can be upgraded to WM6. I have never had a WM phone, mostly I used Nokia but honestly Im getting a bit tired of the Nokia OS.

Want an interesting OS. Import a Motorola E6 via Exactmall. It runs Linux and has a very active community. Check motorolafans.com or motomodders.com

I'm considering switching to the Talk130 as well (that is, assuming Voda sorts out all their recent hassles). Being an SE fan, I'm hoping that either the W960i or the W890i become available.

If you're serious about a WM phone, then the Tytn II is probably the phone to get.

BTW, is the Talk130 package worthwhile?

 

[jannievdberg]

Because Im doing an early upgrade I cant afford the TyTn II (R4500 pay in), so Im either looking at the Samsung i600 or similar. THe Talk 130 is a great package for me as I dont use more than the free minutes. Anyone have an i600?

I have an i600 and I love it. I wouldn't say it's an extraudinary phone...but it is good.

Wait for the N95 8GB.

i600 = Yes

Hello

I have the i600 - chose it because 1. no folding parts 2. good size 3. has wifi, bluetooth, hsdpa.

Subsequently, I found that the keyboard layout worked well for me. These are all all std things

If you are interested in specific things, I'm sure you will be able to find it on the net (non std s/w, etc)

The N82 is really something to wait for, I know I will be waiting for one.

 

[jannievdberg]

I have already ordered my i600.... If the N82 arrives I will just get another cheap contract and pay in on it. or maybe I will get the N95 8GB...decision decisions
