What phone should i get

[Jezz8me]

I love my sony ericson K750i but it broke for the second time this year and my parents don't wan't me using the same phone.

So i need a new one i like how the UI on sony ericsons work and how neat and well designed they are in body and UI.

I am using an oldish nokia atm. it was great in it's time but is now just feels old even though it has bluetooth ect still. The problem i have found with nokias is quiet and weak vibration so i don't know it is ringing in shopping centers.


I find Motorolas cluncky and messy and to use a V3 is against my morals.



Bassically i want a phone that can text well with the dictionary and it is easy to find and add words like it was on my K750i and extra functions are a good bonus. MP3/AAC ringtones are preferable because i hate stock ringtones and i like to put on my own music for them but otherwise i am not fussed about other functions.

I do not want to pay extra for music functions i will not use and if i have to pay extra i would prefer it on camera function instead.



I am aloud to get any phone i wan't "within reason" so as long as it is not extremely expensive, maby under $500 it will be on a plan with my dad's business anyway.


so suggest a good working AND decently looking phone i should get

Well, my Nokia 6300 works just like it should, has steel covers and a 2Mpix camera and is a bargain - the local stores are selling it for €199 at the moment.

yea i have read some reviews and it seems pretty good, i think it is pretty damn ugly though.

there are much worse though and it not to bad, but as long as functionability makes up for it.

you can't realy try phones like you do basses can you? thats a shame

Laughs, if you like K750i and say that the 6300 is ugly, I suppose our tastes differ quite a lot But anyways, can't you go to the store and fiddle with the different models?

[Jezz8me]

not realy because you cannot put your sim card in and try out messaging most of the time and things like that.

Maybe ask from people you know who have the model you're interested in?

I've had a couple Samsung phones and personally I find them great. Much easier GUI than my brothers V3.

The Motorola krazer is the easiest phone ever to text on, super easy to add words and is nice and small. Plus it looks cool. Or you could go with a blackberry pearl, those things are cool as well.

the krazers are hot phnes but is the GUI similar to the V3 because i do not realy like that

i realy am liking the idea of the LG Chocolate and it is only about $300 AU which is pretty average

Why not stick with Sony Ericsson? I swear by them. The K850i is a great phone - much like your old K800i, but with a 5 megapixel camera (!). I think it's available Down Under - what network will you be using?

[Jezz8me]

i agree sony ericssons just work and they are great even thugh mine has broken twice in a year

if i can i will probably get an ericsson i don't know what company i will be with but according to my dad since it is with a business they should let me get any phone as long as my parents are willing to get it for me

Graphic User Interface.

I'm with Jezz8me - I hate the Motorola GUI too. Looks ugly and feels counter-intuitive to me, certainly after the Sony Ericsson one.
