I'm getting bored with my w800 so i started scouting for a clamshell with good music,cam,memory capabilities and a decent design.
I picked up three after a quick browse - se w710,moto v3x,nokia n71.
Although all three are good but neither seem perfect to me,the w710 has poor internal,v3x has no radio,and the n71 looks plain ugly.
So please if anyone knows of a good flipper which is either available or is 'coming soon'(1month max) plz suggest...

Yes that is my first choice atm,but it would be good to hear of some other options aswell

I say you should go for nokia n93 if you have enogh cash

I do like nokia symbians, but n71 was disappointing, got a rid of it after 1 day
Posted by deepsme
Yes some of the recent nokias have been dissapointing although on paper they look great.
About the n93,well i already have a jasjar and i don't want to carry around 2 big bulks with me everywhere.And even if i want to i'd rather wait and watch on it for some time after it releases coz nokia have been known to release their sets a bit too soon even before they're completely bug-free(ex:N80).

Maybe get the V3x, unless the FM radio is really needed. Otherwise there's not much more on offer at the moment. A Samsung maybe?

my brother just got a samsung z510 for the time being, its actually not a bad phone....only let down is it doesnt have expandable memory(140mb built in) and 1.3mp cam, still decent.......

I have my eye on the W710 to replace my wifes long-serving and much loved Z600. It has everything we want in a phone except 3G video calling.
I have a V800, the only clamshell I've ever owned but I won't be getting another clam. I find the reception too poor. Neither Z600 or V800 come close to my old K700i for reception. I may go for the W850.
As compatibility with MPE is a major factor for me, I only choose
phones

I need radio mate! Got an old i-pod and a jasjar atm,so my only source of portable radio is the w800,also don't want 2 exchange an old phone with lesser features on the new one.
Dunno why none of the Razrs have radio,neither the upcoming ones nor the available ones have it.
Speaking of samsung,did some search after you brought it up and found this - Z710
Has anyone tried it?

Done my bit of research!its just down to 2 now for me n93 and samsung z710.Only mystery that still really remains is the price difference.
Where are the moderators when you need them?
Axxxr,Masseur,anyone please help!
Posted by shaliron
I read somewhere that the N93 would be around 400 pound.

One issue i see with the z710 from samsung is that there are no external multimedia keys. Strangely they managed to put that on the a990 that share the design but is for that other 3g network:-(

Well i've chosen the z710(samsung).I liked its compact size,design and looks wise beats both n93 and the k800.Also priced about 200 euros lesser than the n93.
just waiting for it to be released here.

Imo n71 cos its a symbian
Posted by deepsme
@boba,the z710 is also a symbian series 60.
Posted by bart
samsung can't make quality phones.
you want a high end clamshell then nokia is the only answer, for now
Posted by BobaFett
Nokia makes the most advanced symbian fomes imo, thatswhy i suggested it
Posted by tmagberry
Serene is a quality phone...people may not like it but its a good phone
Posted by deepsme
@bart,boba,my main aim for buying a clamshell atm is a compact phone with
good looks,a 3mp cam, decent memory etc.,just a show-off kinda thing.For stuff like 3g,wifi,viewing mail etc. my jasjar serves the purpose.
As far as performance related stuff like speed and bugs.i used a d820 for abt 2 months and was pretty satisfied with its perfomance, faced no probs on that front.

About those nokia phones. While interesting in design and features, the Way they have to be unfolded to use the camera annoys me for some reason.

@deepsme
Have you checked out the
Z610 being released this quarter?
Theres a thread on it here.

Yeap, the Z610 was just announced and is incredibly good looking and has nice features... just check these pics:

Wow!
Posted by deepsme
@carkitter,victor
Appreciate your suggestions guys,yes the se Z610 is a very attractive fone looks wise but specs-wise if you compare it to the z710 of samsung,you could tell that the z610 is lacking a lot on that front. (http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone2=1665&idPhone1=1450)
Ive heard that se will be releasing a lot such 'fashion-oriented' fones this year.Hopefully they'll come out soon with an upgrade to the z610 with a 3mp cam.That would really make things interesting.

Wow!! The samsung Z710 has a 3.2mp with AF?!?!? I didn't even know!!!! You got me there. So, yes, the samsung obviously has several features that makes it more appealing.
And yes, you're right, if
decides to release a 3MP clamshell, things will definitely get very interesting...
Posted by shaliron
I guess we're just hoping for SE to release their new Cybershots sooner then. That's the only way that we're ever going to see a 3 megapixel camera on a clamshell, is if it's branded with the Cybershot logo. Bet you that it will be announced soon. September 5 is approaching. Fingers crossed.
