Two weeks ago i got my upgrade, i decided to go with the Samsung U600 because it was small and looked stylish, after the first few days i had noticed that the screen seems to scratch unbelievably easy but i thought no worries as it was going to scratch eventually anyway, this morning at work i was checking the time on my phone and as i went to slide it back in to my pocket i missed and it hit the wooden floor, i picked it back up thinking no biggy to find to my horror that the screen had smashed!! I'm only a short guy so your only talking about a drop of say 70cm, i just cant believe it my k810i had bounced down stairs and everything with no problems, anyway so to cut this short i'm back in the market for a new handset and would just like to know what you guys recommend

/Ste

I use my phone for:

Photo's
W n' W
Calls
Texting
Calender


well everything except music

Wow...

Here are some phones you might want to take a look at:
K810, K770, K660 and K630.

Cybershot series phone i would say... See k810 or k850

Posted by stetwin
Had the K810i last time i got a phone and wouldn't again due to the Joy stick problems (mine stopped working twice, had it repaired but by the 3rd time i decided it was time for something new, i went with the u600 as i was now due my upgrade.... BIG mistake).

The k850i looks nice but the D-Pad looks hard to use and it seems to have more buttons around its sides then it does on the face of the phone.

Is the camera really important to you?

Posted by Pochi
If you are able to wait then C702i or C902i are your choice (i strongly prefer C702i).

How about a BB Pearl, T-Mobile do some good BB deals, once you get used to the Suretype text input the phones a doddle to navigate, photos are ok but its no SE K series. But I find going back to a normal phone a step backwards.

Posted by stetwin
I like the look of the BB Pearl but how much do these retail at,

Sorry I mis-read your post I thought you were getting it as an upgrade, where you'd get it for free, BB pearls seem to be expensive off line about £220 which is way over the top. I've vowed never to get another Samsung after I Have a screen break on a D900, far too fragile.

Posted by stetwin
Hmmm £220 is a little bit more then i was willing to spend, i have another phone that started its contract 6 months ago, what are the chances of them letting me upgrade that to something different?

K770i? Awesome camera, does everything you need, nice and thin, and best of all, no annoying joystick!

Posted by Pochi
Or a T650i, affordable, good camera from what i saw and heard from people who tried it and without the bad joystick.

Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Yeah, T650i is a beautiful phone and the screen shouldn't get damaged easily with its mineral glass. It has a pretty good camera too! Other than that, I'd say a K770i which is similar, but with camera protection rather than screen protection.

Posted by stetwin
I was offered the k770i when i went with the u600 but decided against it because i didnt like the idea of a brown phone and i dont think t-mobile stock the T650i, i might have to see what handsets come up on the sale section here and see if i can bag a bargain!

Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Do they not offer other colours? There are 5 colours of K770i available, including the usual silver or black! And I'm sure you could pick one up cheap somewhere!


EDIT: Just checked their website and they stock crap all in the way of non-Walkman SEs! In fact, they only have the K850i outside of Walkman.

But couldn't you just get a different colour K770i sim-free from somewhere else?

Since you seem to frequently drop your phone then that's the time you have to choose the toughest SE phone for the moment cause it seems like the phone needs to be strong enough to withstand some unintentional damages caused by accidents(i prefer to use this term ). C702

Simply Because of:
-Waterproof
-ShockProof
-Scratch Resistant Screen
-Good camera
-A200 Platform does everything you listed on your introductory post- without those nasty crashes and lags
-Very good battery life(as always)

In short, C702 is like an Olympus MJU in disguise as a phone

At the end of the day the choice is still yours, we have just advised you for wiser investment.

Goodluck for your new phone!

And waiting months is no good for me either, i can't sit around with a k810i that cant go right or down with its joy stick!

Well you've been given some advice on what's available in SE, which if you're unwilling to get a T650i K850i or K770i, is not much considering what you want. Thats SE though, would you go with any other brand?
