i own a nokia 3650 and i want to upgrade to the best flip top phone. any brand is ok as long as it's a flip top.

have a look at the Z600 its a top selling phone with great features 65k display, bluetooth, gprs, wap, polytones/downloable games and changable fascia's.. price is reasonable to! :-)

If you can wait to januarry you can buy z1010. that is going to be the best calmshell when its released. If you cant wait you can buy z600. that is the best today.

Do you have any specific features you are looking for, plus where will you be using it? City with good coverage etc? This would help in recommending since different phones have different strengths and weeknesses.

Samsung E700 is the most stylish one.

i want one with a good quailty camera and could take video clips and has bluetooth. one that is like the nokia 3650 but a clamshell. clamshells look better.

well i'm in california in the us. i'm using cingular service. so far the z1010 seems perfect.


EDIT: Now I hear that the z1010 won't work in the USA!:( It is not a triband or something.

I'll agree that today z600 is the best. But i think u should wait 4 z1010.:-)

I will agree with almost everybody here. The z600 is and will be until the z1010 is out the best clamshell phone.

Yup, i "second" that It is the best for now

Will the z1010 be tri-band? About how much in US dollars would it cost for an unlocked one too? Would it work with cingular? Thanks

I got to agree, 2 colour screens, a VGA camera AND 9MB of memory!! beat that SE!

At he moment the SE Z600. But the Motorola V600 looks great too, but the menu system is awfull and Itap is much worse then t9, but motorola can play mp3. You have to decide. I personally would take the Z600. (I love SE and a great plus is this amazing site)

Posted by mcbay3
which clamshell should i get? i don't want the z600 cause it has even less stuff then my current phone (nokia 3650)

Posted by gelfen
then i think you are out of luck with the current crop of clamshells. you might have to wait for one of the as-yet unreleased motos.

Posted by Miss UK
elrond. itap is ok actually i find it betta than t9

The fact that E700 has the dual screen (u can take pictures with both!) make it the top of my list.....great high quality phone. With loads of memory too

Posted by o0xskaterx0o
noo E700 bad.. 2 colour screens etc sounds good but isn't as good as it sounds!

Posted by morbodestroys
What about the Motorolas or Sharps?

Aint the GX30 coming round the corner? That should have a decent camera, screen & bluetooth and triband.
Otherwise maybe the motorolas. Of course they have sh!te software and somewhat hard to navigate, but they are quadband, some have bluetooth...

btw: itap has come a long way. i prefer it to t9 my 2c

z600 is the same thing as t610!
the differences are z600 is a clamshell type and has a 65k tft screen unlike t610 which is a candybar type and uses a 65k stn screen. The rest is the same eg 2mb of shared memory, bluetooth, ir, mophun/java, 32poly.

i say if ur lookin for a good phone get e700 or v200.

And I say if you´re looking for a good clamshell phone, stay clear away from Samsung!!
I had a v200 for three weeks before i got so disgusted i traded it in the shop for my t610 *and lost a healthy wad of cash in the process*
Samsungs T9, standby time and IRDA implementation is a f***g joke! Camera is no better than t610 (not the v200 anyway) The only thing i am impressed with really, is the screen, keyboard and general build quality. The all important inside features are woefully lacking..
Just MHO...
