What exactly are you looking for in your phone Mada? Mainly music playing, good camera, adaptability or a good all rounder?
Any particular 'killer feature' you want on the phone?
The K510 looks like a good all rounder, or failing that see if you can find a K750i in your price range.

who's hubby?
@Sammy_boy:indeed,I do want a good all rounder but my mainly wants are : fashion design,not sporty,nor simple,fashionable
it must have a good camera (1.3mpx or more but no more then 2mpx cose that's too expensive)
if it has a good camera that means memory card to store all that photos
it has to play MP3 files & in order to do that well it has to have MMC suport so the manly features are mmc suport,good camera,mp3 suport & 256k display or more cose I'm sick of 65k or 4k screens....

Would the W700i fall into your price bracket? Expandable memory, 2mp fixed focus camera, good all round phone.
That Nokia 6131 sounds pretty good, though don't know much about that model.

the SE w700i is a nice choice indeed but it doesn't come in Romania so I have to import it from other county & besides the phone cost (that I understood that is preety high) I have to pay the transport aswell,but that nokia 6131 phone is tricky cose it has no display protection & I am too much affraid of distroying it cose I see my present phones & they don't look impecable so I don't think I can protect the dispaly too long....anyway,I wanna thank you all for giveing me advices,I realy need them so please do so ...

I would say the Samsung D500, it was the top choice until the K750I came out. The W700I is on SE's website for Romania, are you sure you can't get it?

I would also look at the K610I, the W300I is nice apart from the VGA camera.
Is the LG K800 Chocolate phone available in your country? It's very stylish but has no memory upgrade, it does come with 80MB though, if not then the new Samsungs like the E770.
I would have to say that the W700I or K750I are your best options if you can afford them. Very nice little phones.

Just to add, in the UK the SE K750I is the £3 more then the Samsung D500. So it should be in your price range.

If you want all these features then the only choice is the Sony Ericsson K750I, it may not be as stylish as some as it looks a bit more business like but it's not ugly. It is also a GREAT little phone and you'll love it and you'll instantly know how to use it. You can get one of loads of cases for it or put a screen protector on it. |

so the best that I could buy is SonyEricsson w700i/k750i (I read that the diferences between them aren't that special,the keypad layout,internal memory & HSCSD suport for w700i)
I realy like the design of W700i cose it is gold & I like that (not that I wouldn't change the fascia,faceplate,housing) but I ask you,can I find faceplates for k750i that make it look like w700i?or other colors or something.....I've read on a forum that you can mood it (k750i) to make it look like w800i or other models but do you know someone that did that?I heard that k750i is a realy great phone (don't know why actualy cose I don't find nothing interesting to it) but I accept taking it if I could pesonalizate it the way I like....

The W700I doesn't have auto focus on the camera like the K750I or W800I, the other difference is the W700I has the walkman software on it, but the K750I has a good MP3 player and you can flash the phone to have the same software as the W800I so making it a full walkman phone.
You can also buy covers on ebay for it in different colours or the covers as the W700I\ W800I, you have to use a screwdriver to remove the cover it's not a simple click on\ off. But if you search Esato you should find plenty of thread from people who have done it, it's not too difficult to change covers.
So in effect you can if you want change a K750I into a W800I.
I think the W700I case will fit, can someone confirm this please? I'm not sure if it doesn't have a window for the focus lamp or something.

Blimey Mada, that's exspensive, what part of the world are you in? Romania? I would hunt around and you should be able to find it cheaper.
You have to flash a K750 into a W800 I think, but the W800I is a bit better then the W700I as it too has auto focus on the camera and the same walkman MP3 player.
You can then use the cover for the W700I, so you'll have a K750I flashed into a W800I with a W700I cover. Should last a few years then. Don't forget to buy some Sony HPM-70 headphones or the adapter and use you own headphones.
I too thought the K750I was boaring, but it got rave reviews and so I got one and it's been brilliant, so easy to use and very functional and reliable with a great screen.
