So, after getting my first k810 stolen, I bought a used k810 for cheap. Now, the buttons aren't responding when pushed (for text), and the camera slider doesn't automatically start up the camera mode. My phone is offcially bust.
But with death of a phone that's brought me so much joy, getting a new handset is much more exciting.
Long story short, Rogers is being a bitch and won't help me out, so I've resorted to internet purchases, or in case of my blackberry, my friend can grab me one since he's an employee of RIM.
K850 - I know it'll work good since Rogers offers this phone. 3G, EDGE, good camera, UI almost exactly like my k810.
C902i - as the k800 was to the k790, the C902i is to the k850. Thinner, and somehow upgraded, but less the Xenon flash. No 3G on Rogers network.
SO905iCS - Nice exotic camera phone, but MMS won't work. I tend to text and picture message alot. If it won't allow me to text or send picture messages, it's just a really expensive paper-weight. But it looks so pretty.....
BlackBerry Bold - My hometown is where RIM resides. EVERYONE has blackberries. I never got one.... But this Bold sounds damn good. 3G, GPS, Wifi. I just dunno how much it'll cost when it comes out.
Help meeeeeeeeeee. My budget is around $400 (so the SO905iCS is a stretch). I'll probably see how much the Bold will cost with my HUP through Rogers on the 22nd, but I'm getting real impatient. I could get the K850/C902i immediately, or wait to hear about the bold. | |

About $792.99 for a BlackBerry Bold RIM so i would jest go for a C902i. SO905iCS is no bother getting. I mean a mobile isent a mobile if it has not got messaging! Well if it dident have calling. But any way C902i is the best to fit in a tight $400 bujet but that will cost about 100 dollars more than expected probley $599.99. (According to Esato you live in Canada so this is canadian dollars im talking about. Yahoo shopping Canada douse not help so dont bother looking there  K810i truley dousent want to be replaced but it is impossible to find unless you get a dogey one K818 is the same. So overall i insist getting a C902i may be in a pretty red colour seeing SO905iCS is so nice may be you can have both in one!  Glad i could help.

N82 =]. Newegg has it under $400 before shipping, Buy.com has it for $414 free shipping. It's a great phone for a great price. |

After some perusing around many forums and reading up on the k850, c902i, and the BlackBerry Bold, I think I've made up my mind on the c902i. I'm gonna wait till the end of the month though, as my friend is going to lend me a phone until I get to Waterloo, ONT on Aug 21st, when I'll grab an a BB8700 off a RIM rep I know.
- I've realized through looking at my k810 picture album, most pictures are of the daylight kind, some of live concerts, and a few portrait shots at a dark bar or at my work (a restaurant). I'm positive I can live without a Xenon flash.
- The C902i does not have Rogers Canada compatible 3G frequencies, but from the way I used the internet on my k810 (also non-Canadian-3G-compliant), internet-use will be the same, and I won't care.
- I'm gonna wait till AUg 22nd, as that is my first HUP date, and the BlackBerry Bold will probably be released (if not close to released), and I'll see how much a discount I'll be able to get if I renew my contract.
-Nokia N82 eh? It's been a while since I've used a Nokia. Hmmm. | |
