I wonder why samsung never make wi-fi phones.. I think its time but never comes..
Just another upgraded version of D600 -> D900 -> U600 -> U700..
gsm arena says the u900's cam is better than the n95 8gb's. pretty sweet.
but i think my next phone is going to go from samsung's F series.. f700/f490/f480.. still deciding.

Well... today I lost my Softbank X01ht T________T

Any suggestions of what phone and where to buy is appreciated. I've already looked at phonemore and cellworld any other sites I can check out?

i realized that in addition to Ku990, KE990 is out . does anyone know exactly details on differences?
I compared in gsmarena and just by looking without research saw differences of:
KE990 has no video calling camera
The band thingy KE has 850 vs KU's 900
and the KE has less battery life
but i read somewhere that the KE has a camera cover

If its true ke990 has no video call, is it worth the sacrifice for the 850 band?

i have the f490 right now. the touch UI is pretty good, and the touch feedback is great. but i want to go back to something symbian. lol
but the samsung f480 is coming out in the middle of may.. might be something to look out for. the gsmarena review rated it pretty good.
but if you want something like a tytn but slimmer and don't mind the price.. why don't you look at the touch cruise?

Looking for a recommendation for a phone:
-can be clam shell or candy bar
-slim/small
-good reception
-battery life good
-loud ringing and speaker phone
-take some sort of memory card to store pictures/songs
-mp3 ringtones
-good camera 3.2 mp
-not slow

*no set price*

*im currently using a n80 atm, and it gets slow and freezes and its really annoying have to take the battery out and put it back in everytime*

thanks for reply. hmm i guess not having a 3 mp cam is fine. I like the look of the 707sc and 707sc II. Do both of them require the 3040 sim to text message? How is that phone just for normal use; talk + text. ?

i think you guys should look out for the samsung i550w and the i780 if you're looking for a smartphone..
those two phones are pretty nice function wise..
too bad they're triband.. = =

hmm I'm in the mood to shake things up guys...
as some of you guys know...I haven't switched phones for a while...
looking for something black & sexy and loaded with goodies...

thinking of n73 black...but probably a bit tough to find in good condition
maybe Luna...but I generally don't want a slider
n82 black but a bit pricey right now

anything?

TIA

Looking for a phone for my bro. Haven't really settled on a price point yet, but I'm thinking no more than $300 at the moment.

Requirements:
*Needs to have calendar capabilities. Also, prefer that there are no restrictions on the number of calendar items you can input. Right now his LG Chocolate phone only lets him put 20 appointments. He wants WAY more than that.

*Prefer non smart phones at the moment. Not ruling it out, but he wants a smaller form factor so Blackberry and Treo are out for now unless we can't find anything smaller.

*Needs to have good reception. Reception in our area sucks, so anything that has better than average reception is preferred. It's never going to be perfect, but my 8100 and my little brother's SE w580 get better reception than his phone.

*GSM phone please. He's currently on Rogers.

Those are the only requirements. Anyone know of any phones that would fit the bill?

^if you're willing to go up to 350, e51 would be the best choice.
i think you can get it lower than 300 online..
