On SE phones you can plug in your own headphones too. The 3.5mm jack isn't on the phone but in the adaptor. And are you really going to buy a better set of headphones? Because if you aren't the stock headphones with the walkmans are far superior.
Are you going to transform you collection to eACC+? You already seemed to be thinking of a 2GB card.
The argument about the camera is lame. Its not about you can take same size pictures and you can fix all the bad ones in photoshop. Most people shoot pictures and show it to people on there phone and pass it on on their phone or computer. Why should they worry about having to edit the pictures first?
Als camera speed should be an issue. Nokia smartphones are quite slow in general, Any W8xx will be faster. And the camera is used in a normal way with no body twisting.
Are you going to stream content to need real player? Mostly real player is used for playing 3gp videos, any dumb phone not to mention walkmans can play those.
If you prefer the 3250 you can alway buy it. Its not going to be 100% horrible. I personally shouldn't be the only person answering you questions. I'm sure there are more people out there that can answer a lot more questions.
I'm also not saying to go only for the W810. As I said before if you are going to buy a big memory card then it doesn't matter what you get in the package. W700 is always a quite cheap option. You can always flash it to a W800.
Why don't you read a few reviews of the phones you are considering and then decide for yourself.
I'd go to mobique.com mobileburn.com and mobile-review.com/index-en.shtml

Hey guys,
I'm back, been in the army the past week. I finally got a 512MB Memory Stick Micro (M2) for my K800i, I listen to Dire Straits in the army
It's just so cool, well, a little expensive that what I was expecting (more expensive than a 1GB one in USA), but you don't always get what you want
@mzee: How much budget are you putting for your phone?
@mUstafabay: How are you man?
Posted by mustafabay
Nice, same price but only half the size. We also don't get a very good deal for the phones either. How many times does a phone's price drop abroad? We get about two. I would think that complaining to SE enough might get us a better dealer, so should we try?
Posted by mustafabay
Anyone have an idea how to get a T630 screen? And how much is a P910 nowdays? Either an import or a good used one?
Posted by deido
For the T630 screen...try the dealer (Deltatek), although i hate them and they will ask much for it......
Posted by mustafabay
They never carried the T630 and hence don't have parts for it, well screens, everything else is a T610. And I tried them

Hi everyone,
I need some advice on holidaying in Egypt. Question is where to go? A bit of background, currently in London, have been to Dubai many times and I am looking for a totally pampering holiday. There is me, my wife & 4yr old son. Son likes swimming pools/beach. Looking for a great/best 5 star hotel. Don't really have a restriction on budget. What we do want to see is the typical tourist spots. This is going to be a one off trip to Egypt, so we want to get the essentials in. Looking to go around after mid October. We love heat, so hot weather is not a problem (actually, hotter the better). I have seen prices do rise around UK school half term, so I am going to try and avoid that week.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance and looking forward to visiting this wonderful country.

Welcome Raja,
My recommendation is to go to Sharm El Sheikh. It's the best resort town in Egypt, and the weather is great at this time of year. You and your family will just love it. Do some internet research about hotel deals, though Movenpick is a very good recommendation (Specailly Movenpick Golf). One thing you will miss though which is sightseeing coz this is a resort twon so fun time is beach, pool, and sun, sand, and wonderful water activities
Posted by Raja
Thank you for the warm welcome,
mahora, Sharm El Sheikh was the first place I had initially thought off, but we would be missing out on the great treasures of the Pyramids. What about around Cairo? It's a toss up between around Cairo or Sharm El Sheikh.
Thanks
Posted by mustafabay
What about Luxor and the Hurgada, or something of that sort. Spend a few days sightseeing and then a few more on the beach. It really is too bad the pharohs didn't really get into like beaches that much.
Posted by mahora
Mustafabay just stirred a very good idea, Raja. You can look for a tour through which you can get directly to Hurgada then spend an overnight or a couple of days in Luxor (coz they're on the same contour and the distance is not that big), then return to Hurgada to spend the rest of the vacation.
Luxor too has its traesures that equal those of Cairo, i.e. the pyramids. The valley of the kings alone is worth the while, let alone Karnak, el Deir El Bahary & Luxor temples, the valley of the queens, etc, etc etc..., unless of course you're so much attached to the pyramids....
Posted by Raja
What I trying to do is stay at Sharm El Sheikh and consider a day trip to Cairo or Luxor. I am going to ask travel agents today to investigate that possibility (costs and time involved).
I am upto a point attached to Pyramids. I can't visit this great country and miss out on one of the 7 wonders of the world!

About that you're absolutely right, Raja....

hi guys.....miss u so much, where have u been ????
anyway, has anyone seen the SE W850i phone in egypt?? i am getting a new phone and i have seen this one on SE website....does anyone know how much it costs ? and is it better or the W900....
waiting for ur replies.,...............
Posted by mustafabay
No I haven't seen it yet, P990 is here though at leat dubai imports. Actually I have never seen a W900 anywhere at all. W900 has better camera and bigger screen however it is big. So you might not like it compared too the W850. I'll check the radioshack near home in a day or two to see if the W850 is here yet. W810 is 2600 if I'm not mistaken so I'd put the W850 at 3000 minimum.
Posted by deido
thx basha
tell me if u know something else........
Posted by deido
i found the SE w810 at "el ghanem" for 2450 LE....not bad
Posted by mustafabay
Well I suppose so, don't look at prices online for comparisson or any other reason, you won't be happy. The reason I look a t Radioshack is that they always have the whole lineup and they have the official prices, I wouldn't buy there though.
Posted by mustafabay
Now lets see, should I be worried? The P990 is out but I have yet to see the M600. As for other phones, I was surprised how fast the K800 came out here, but I have not seen the W900 although I've heard of people owning it. I didn't see the W850, W710, Z710 or Z550 so should I be worried, I am pretty sure Radioshack carries SE's whole lineup in Egypt.
Has anyone seen the M600? What is worrying me is they might do the T630 fiasco again.
And mentioning the T630 my dad asked a friend in KSA if he could buy a screen for me but SE said they only fixed but didn't sell parts. Any ideas? I will eventually buy something but I don't know when.
Posted by mahora
What's the T630 fiasco?
Posted by mustafabay
Well basically they acted as if it never existed and didn't bother releasing it in Egypt. I hope they don't do it to any SE phones this year not to mention next year with 40 phones expected.
Posted by deido
wow....40 new phone expected !!! r u sure ? if that was right, one has to wait and see
Posted by mustafabay
I don't think they will be 40 distinct models but a few pairs, network specials and some low ends but would still count as 40.
Posted by mahora
Anything special out of the 40? I mean a kinda bestseller like the K750i?
Posted by mustafabay
You can check out the rumors.
Basically a K800 sucessor 5MP, a slim 2 MP cybershot and an even thinner walkman, supposedly less than 10mm. A walkman based on the K320 may also be of interest. M600 and W950 will have sucessors, and supposedly a clamshell with specs close to the 903 announced by NTT DoCoMo recently, most notable feature was a 3MP screen and dual memory card slot( I doubt this feature would be copied) and nine exterior buttons for controlling the MP3 player. And more.
Edit: Oh, and Eid Mubarak

Just for the record the M600 is now here, same price as the K800
No sign of Z710, W710 and Z610 and I don't think I've seen the K610 either. Carfeur is slightly cheaper than Radioshack, but with only 100-150 LE difference usually. J300 was more expensive though.
BTW, how desperate id Deltek? Why on eath are they backing the wrong brand? Motorola, SE and LG are three guaranteed brands, they are quite successful and will improve. On the other hand Deltek lkes to advertise BQS more despite being a declining brand, what's worse is the ads are horribly written. Its not my bussiness if they want to lose money but I'd prefer they just make the other brand's phones cheaper.

what''s up in egypt? what can u tell me about mobinil.... i've heard of it..
Posted by mahora
Welcome kwabs2006,
Why Mobinil specifically? It's the first mobile operator in Egypt.....
Posted by deido
@mustafabay
Deltatek sucks, u know...one of the reasons that keeps me away from buying a SE phone is that i will have to deal with them......
and yes, their prices for SEs are too expensive.....
BenqSiemens is going down without a trace....basically, they failed....i read an article in mobile-review about this subject...
I don't know how deltatek is still in the market...i hope another dealer takes SE flag from them ( i hope etisalat )
Posted by kwabs2006
just that i've seen the ads..
Posted by mustafabay
Nah, I'd prefer Raya. The bigger the better although Etisalat carries almost all brands in all its other branches around the world.

@ kwabs2006
Seen them where?

Guys I cant find an ARABIC Nokia N93 in America,
So I'm thinking of getting one from egypt.
How much does it run? and will it see arabic sms and Write arabic sms?
I'm selling my W810i bythe way
shokran
Posted by americany13
i dont know what to do........................
buy from usa and bring it to egypt or
just buy from egypt (arabic version)
I really need the arabic buttons, and arabic sms, but I heard the quality of phones in middle east isn't that great, and that i'll need to buy a warrenty.
I never needed a warrenty before.
if I buy from usa and bring it to egypt will there be any store to arabicize it for me , securly??
Posted by deido
with no arabic keypads....i think it's very difficult to type in arabic..,, IMHO buy it from here WITH a guarantee
Posted by americany13
why does everyone in egypt need a warrentee to much, I never had a phone go made on me,
all my phones worked fine even after I sold them,
Is it the users in egypt or the Phone quality?
I was thinking of buying it in usa and taking it to egypt , and find an Arabic keypad for sale and get it flashed then install the arabic keypad on it.
or just buy it in egypt?
that brings me to the question,,, how much is it now?
Posted by mustafabay
Boy its been a long time since I've seen anyone around here.
Anyways I have some great news. Raya is now a
dealer and Moto too, yay. They don't say that in there big ad in Alahram today but their shop near my home does
Posted by deido
REALLY !!!!! great....now i hope they can change things......
i must admit i could never buy a SE with these prices, as i can get other brand with the same features (more or less)and buy less...
let's see what they will do....
btw...any news from etisalat misr....i saw an ad in the ahram days ago with some job vacancies for etisalat.....
Posted by mustafabay
Well unless they announce any delays Etisalat should launch in March. Four months to go
Posted by deido
i saw an ad in the ahram today....raya is making christmas offer for nokia, samsung and moto.....why not SE ????????
Posted by deido
what r ur expectations for al ahly ????
i think 3rd in the world cup is a good result (if we did it)....
Posted by mahora
Third place is good, I'd agree to that.
Posted by mustafabay
@diedo, did the ad have any specific offer? No, and walking in there yesterday there didn't seem to be any offers, I didn't ask but you'd think you'd have the phones marked. No new SEs either. W810, W700, K310 and P990 and K800. No W850 and no Zxxx.
I'd think Ahly could reach the final, if they aren't too nervous and don't score early, no sense in wakening a beast early on, if they can keep it at 0-0 and score in the 70th minute they should be able to hold them off.

Glad to find an exclusive forum for Egyptian SE users.
I have a P910i in good condition complete with box for sale. If anyone interested 012-3234595
Posted by mustafabay
Would love to buy it, but as always my only problem is money.
Posted by alilyawala
Hi Mustafa,
Where are you living in Egypt? Which phone are you using now?
Ok. So how much are you willing to pay for my P910i?
Posted by mustafabay
Cairo.
Actually I'd put it like this, there's quite a big difference between what I think is a fair price for a P910 and what I can actually afford these days.
And @ all, beeb beeb ahly
we didn't get to the final but heck we still could've kicked Barcas' ass
