So, we have plenty of debate about which SE phones are the best, but what about your favourite phone...of all time!!!
I have thought long and hard about it and have come up with the best phone that i have ever owned. I have actually thought of a top 5!
1. Ericsson EH237 - old analogue (ETAC) model with great looks and superb sound that was supplied by B&O audio componants. Also, never lost the signal when using this.
2. Sony Ericsson K800i - what a difference in spec from the above model.
3. Siemens SL45 - without a doubt, the best non-Ericsson (or SE) that i have ever owned, looked great and was the first phone i had with a memory card reader.
4. Ericsson ER500 - Orange branded version of the GSM Ericsson GH388, again with superb sound that was supplied by B&O audio componants.
5. Sony CM-333 - effectionately known as the 'Mars Bar' phone due to it's resemblence to the chocolate bar. This was another old analogue (ETAC) model with good looks and a great earpiece that slid up and down to unlock or lock the keypad.
Whats yours?????

Now i have to say the current favourite is of course my lovely k800.

1. Nokia Communicator - 9500! Perfect over-all, minus it's bulkiness, that's why I got it a leather case to hook it with my trouser's belt ! I really love it's PC type keypads . . . easy to compose everything: SMS, MMS etc . . .
2. Motorola A780
3.
P910i
4.
K750
5.
T68i

For me it's defo the ericsson R380.
When I recieved a call with the phone set to silent and placed on my desk I was accused of having a cow "moo" ring tone. Ahh good times
Then the nokia 8210 because it was my first Orange contract phone and was so simple and gave me no problems. Gave that baby to a relative. It's still in use :|
I guess the se V800 has served me well. V reliable and flexible to my needs.
My first mobile was from that coca cola/pepsi ringpull offer to get an ericsson 1010 (i think :s). That one drowned in coke, how ironic.

Best ones ive owned were. 1. T610i 2.k700i (just a shame didnt have expandable mem.) 3.p910i (killed by hurricane katrina.. May it rest in peace) 4.s700i 5.z800i
Posted by dcbastable
@zakc
Do you mean the A1018?
Yeah i remember that. It came with a metalic silver keypad face plate with the coke logo on it, they were very durable, except when attacked by coke

Posted by mustafabay
Sony CMD-J70
I didn't really want it, I wanted the J5 but I was too late. To think it was up against the 3310. I just can't see why you'd prefer the 3310 over a J70 except for the louder ringtones. I mean I could record anything to be my ringtone and the rest of the tones are polyphonic, anyone remeber when those came out?
I'm actually back to using it since I broke the screen on my t630 but not for long now.

Posted by chris_lyons
Gotta be the 3310..awsome little phones!!!!
Posted by Danny_BFC
The best in terms of features the Nokia N80, the best in terms of how much i liked it, Nokia 3310 with a Slide up/down keypad cover and a red case with a gold dragon on the back. '''oh happy days.....''
Posted by dcbastable
I have to say, going back to my favorites, the Ericsson EH237 had (at the time) everything you could want in a phone. Good standby time (at the time) of about 30hrs. It was small and fairly light, but because of its magnesium alloy chasis, was nigh on indistructable. The sound quality was brilliant thanks to the fact that all of the audio components where Bang & Olufssen, and the signal never droped. Oh happy days indeed.
Posted by bart
P910i would be my choice
followed by the T39m and T68m
Posted by amnesia
P900.
I hated the P910 because the flip was hard, but the P900's flip was springy.
Posted by dcbastable
woo hoo, my 100th post

i couldnt possibly choose one handset as my ultimate fave...
i'd be forgetting so many others..
and to be fair i've yet to have the ultimate phone.. no phone has done everything i wanted it to.. the E70 has got very very very close to it but still no mars bar.. im hoping the P990i will knock my socks off...

7610 was my ultimate phone, I owned it the longest I owned any camera phone!
Posted by Coxy
Well I gotta say for when it was released the K750 was absolutely awesome! Had great features in a great size. Since then I think the K800 was a great successor so it is therefore probably the best I have had. Hoping my new P990 (sim free UK spec
) will kill off all the competition though!
Posted by xan K
so far, my k790!!!
Posted by vrl29
my favorite phones would be:
- S700i - i like every feature of it, from the design to the connectivity to the scratch-resistant screen. it's my current phone, i even 'overpaid' for it when i bought it last year; so it would be 'very hard' for me to replace something that i invested my $$$, besides, it now has a 'sentimental value' for me...
- T610 - a classic one. it truly adheres to the saying 'simplicity is beauty'...
- Nokia 6110 - the longest phone i've owned to date. i liked its simple features, and i used to regret selling that phone...
Posted by vivid white
SE T68m i believe it was..........the gold cased one. I was sad to see that go but i had to move along with the times and then got my P800 which was awesome.
Posted by achu
east or west SE IS THE BEST
MINE IS K750I
Posted by 10ten
K750i i miss it to this day it was like having a great lover and a fine wine, i have a n70 now its like a soho hooker and a can of tizer.
Posted by tjombe
This is my list:
1. W800i
2. Motorola micro tac (feels like a long time ago...)
3. K750i
4. P900
5. K800i
I will by a P990, hopefully it comes on to my list????
Right now i have the k800 and itīs a great phone, but i miss my w800 sliding down my pocket....
Micro tac was my first. I canīt believe i threw it away!!!!!
Posted by dcbastable
The Motorola Micro Tac was indeed a long time age, and was revoulutionary for the time.
Posted by nicv27
Think my favourite / best phones are
1.sharp gx20- b 4 i had se camera was xcellent
2.nokia8890- no specs but looked great
3.either my ericsson t28 or p800 both good in their own right
Posted by ewap8
definitely has to be my first phone - the nokia 5110
Posted by max_wedge
My fave phone of all time was until recently the K700, and even though I have had the K750 for a while, the K700 was my first decent camera phone/mp3player mobile and it was by my side always so it's remained my favourite untill recently even though I use the K750. Of course K750 is way better technically, and now with all the mods available through vkp patching, and free flashing via FAR, it has replaced the K700 as my favourite phone of all time!!
It's cheating a little I suppose, since the MOD stuff isn't official SE, but still I love my K750 it's definitely my favourite handset thus far. The modding just gives you so much flexibility, the handset becomes 10 times more usable. here for example some of the mods available:
*Use camera while java in background
*Use camera switch to turn on led when camera not in use
*Disable Java permissions (no java prompts on file system access)
*A Full flightmode profile (gsm radio ONLY disabled, everything else working)
*Faster scrolling of song names in media player
*Move JAVA folder to memory stick so games can be sent via bluetooth
*Change menu folder to memory stick so menu icons can be changed by user
*Move playlist folder to memory stick so playlists can be saved on computer
*Turn whitelist into black ie: instead of accept list, it becomes a reject list
As well, I have converted my K750 into a W800.
So my K750 is nothing like an official K750. It is much more useful than stock.
Definitely my fave!

Your right dcbastable:
Motorola Micro Tac defenitely revoulutionary! It was so small and just the best!!!! I remember what I paid for it:-( 25 000 skr, about 2.700 euro!!!!!!!
1984-1985 I think....
Today the p990 is around 750 euro, looks like prices are going down;-)
I should have invested the money instead:-( But it was a great phone!!!!!!!
I canīt remember how I could pay that money, because I didnīt have any that time in my life. (mayby because the expensive phones I bought))
