So I'm after a new phone.


I did like my 6500 classic.

Well, I sorta did. It was sleek, neat, did everything I wanted it to, but the battery life was uber ghey, when I used it as a MP3 listening device when at the gym.

So, Wanna know what else is out there, that is slim, sleek, has bluetooth, decent camera, and nothing ubernerdy and unnecessary (like GPS...)

Waterproof optional.



Hit me.

N95 for all the wanky glory!  It is:

[LIST]
* Fat
* Bulky
* Sticks out like dog nuts in your pocket
* GPS with stupidly expensive navigation option
* No touch screen
* Needs to be hacked to install 3rd party applications
[/LIST]

But it does work pretty bloody well, great camera, awesome functionality when you break through the anal security barrier.

And you can plug standard headphones straight in.  Which is fkn awesome!

So the new LG qwerty thingy no good?

Tell me more about this G string 900 phone.

Hi,

N95 is probably overkill, and is a massive phone.

Try N73.

Unless you want a female American flip phone?

if your after something reliable and slightly basic nokia 6300 (strathfield instore bonus ftw!) something a little bit la di da lg viewty, n95 8gb for features you will never use or you could always pick one of these http://www.vertu.com/en/

it not really the newest phone out but ive got the sony ericsson W880i, its an awesome phone,

- 2 mp camera, photos turn out pretty good once on computer
- good mp3 player thing (it a walkman phone so its made for music)

N95 is THE most personal phone I've ever owned. It does everything I could possibly want it to. The only thing I wish it had was a keyboard

Its a phone and thats all. Sure it does other stuff, like take pictures, but I get the feeling they aren't high on its priority list... The phone portion on the other hand, seems great. Great sound quality, good reception, so on and so forth.

6120 classic FTmfW


its a phone, with a few extras. It does not try to be anything else.

Cammer is ok, but thats all. Has everything else you wanted (from your list)

Get yourself the bluetooth keyboard! (jk don't).

However, DO get RaceChrono (http://www.racechrono.com/) its an awesome bit of software that is intended for track racing but has a great datalogger which uses the internal GPS and lets you export to Google Earth etc. Again, a bit of a wank but a great bit of gear. And its FREE! :neo:

Hi,



$1k on Hookers & Blow >>> $1k on a phone.

Alex; they also don't make them like they used to. I never had to 'update the firmware' on a 3310.

I still reckon N73 though...

Cheers,
Nik

Hi,

Hahaha! Nice. You must be going to the wrong place for your hookers!

Alex; make sure you let us know what phone you end up with!

Cheers,
Nik
