Re: I want a new phone

Why not just get a basic phone?

Like the nokia 6500 or 6500s (yes I know they are old, but those "s40" type phones are still being made)

Prepaid is One option for you...if you truly dont make many calls, and you could use that money for something far better.

It's a shame you aren't in Australia, for you could get the deal Im on, a nokia e71 (alot more flashy than the s40 os phones, it's an s60...), $19 AUD a month contract, free facebook.

...Unfortunatly I didnt read into the call rates or the text, and I think there was 50mb of downloads, but like I seriously need to download crap over a crappy phone when I got a better conection on my laptop

All I know is, this works fine for me.

 

Re: I want a new phone

I would like those E series phones from Nokia, but it's surprisingly more expensive than the XPeria x10. And prepaid is really horrible for going online, the prepaid card i'm using runs out in 20 minutes.

 

Re: I want a new phone

Thus why I dont use mobile internet, especially in my suburb, it's unstable for mobile internet.

That is odd, the nokia's here are cheap, well in plans and contracts...I assume they are actually trying to get rid of those xperia's rather than be competitive with something better than nokias

I only use facebook on my mobile as a time killer when on my lunch break, and by time killer=5 mins max before net drops out.

 

Re: I want a new phone

I remember I bought my E63 phone for 68$ back then, somehow it's back up to 400$.

 

Re: I want a new phone

O_O

$68 outright or on contract?

This is why i hate buying mobiles, there are basically 3 annoying options, ethier go on contract, pay more than you need each month but end up paying off the phone, go contract, risk having no credit but have a cheaper phone over all (you can outright buy a phone for $50 on selected models here)...

Or in some cases, buy a phone that is meant to be on contract for max cash, I remember asking someone about buying an iphone outright...$1000?

Fuck that.

 

Re: I want a new phone

It was 68$ without contract before, and 400$ without contract now.

 

Re: I want a new phone

You sure it was the same phone?

It might be the e72, I swear those phone models look the same.

 

Re: I want a new phone

Possibly, as you said, they're so alike.

 

Re: I want a new phone

It's a fact I hate about the e series, only differance between them other than shell colour is the processor...

AND MY PROVIDER HAD THE BALLS TO TELL ME THEY ONLY HAD THE E71 AND NOT THE E72!

 

Re: I want a new phone

I've had problems with my Nokia Phones in the past few years. I hope I don't have to resort to choosing Nokia or LG.

 

Re: I want a new phone

From what I see of other's I assumed they were a nice stable phone, and my first 2 have been great.

I admit I got lost on my 6500s but that's because I forgot phones could do MORE than simple calls, turns out it had one of the easiest OS's on a phone (the s40, great themes for it as well).

Not only that but it was damn sturdy, I'd threw it agaist brick walls to show those pricks at work "what my phone could do that their's can't" since they all used iphones or planned to get one.

Not sure if my e71 is as sturdy, and it's...actually a tad slower when moving around menus, I assume it's because the phone has more than it should have on it, OS wise.

Still good though.

HTC Wildfire?

 

Re: I want a new phone

How much is that in pounds.Ive seen that phone your after going on eBay for £90 average.Every time I sniff around my wifes account she is watching them.

 

Re: I want a new phone

They don't sell Palm phones here. if they did, I'd instantly get them.

 

Re: I want a new phone

waste o' money if you ask me...

 

Re: I want a new phone

It's those pesky cops, right?

 

Re: I want a new phone

what do you mean...cause these guys are on my ass? :3

 

Re: I want a new phone

Don't get a Nokia smartphone if you can help it, Symbian is rather restrictive and doesn't have nearly enough apps. I'm a big fan of Droid (Galaxy S, oh baby) but it fits the role I need it for (mobile internet, RDP/VNC, SSH, Starcraft 2 stream). You probably don't need anything that sophisticated for your day-to-day use.
