Now I remember it. I had it mistaken with the one that looked like the 9110 communicator (top up).
Anyway there are several hardened up-to date phones now. |

But none are like the R310. The hardened ones of today just have a rubber outer shell. R310 was the kind that could stay in maybe a meter of water for maybe up to half an hour.

oh yea i know this phone......but the E70 is much better......it's a bigger and better screen, it runs on symbian 9.1 and there's IR, bluetooth and Wi-fi.....with the keyboard and the 2.0 MP camera (although i don't care about the camera)i think they made a very good phone that satisfies anyone needs.... ( IMO ) |

Obviousely the E70 is better, almost any phone is better, the 6280 was a good idea which nokia executed horribley the screen was terrible too.
And mahora, do I have to go scuba diving to want the phone? I more would like it for two reasons, its super tough and its extremely rare in Egypt, I'm not suggesting I'd pay a lot for one, just that its nice to have something rare and unique.

Guys just did a mistake, I sold all my SE phones and got a K-jam,
the only thing I like about it is the Qweary board and the WIFI, and micro Card.
it makes SMSing and IMing easier thats all, I had the P910 but the board was two small and it wasnt stable, now i have a unstable windows phone with a bigger screen and board. |

What do you mean all? You more than one SE for an iMate. And you say you made a mistake, well I wouldn't say your wrong.
BTW, BenQ or BS is selling the P50 in Egypt now, I saw an add in Alwasseet for it at 12x450=5400 which I find insane.

I wouldn't buy a Benq if it were offered for free at this very particular point of time. Not just yet. I think there's a lot of finetuning until they can just harmonize the Siemens legacy with the Benq infrastructure.
And Mustafabay, to be different and unique doesn't have to be weirdo. This phone must've weighed something like 250 grams, plus its weird, fish-fins looks.

It's shark fin mahora, SHARK FIN. 
Actually the BenQ P50 is pretty good phone and the best thing is its WM5.0. Now I don't like windows that much but its a good thing in this case. Siemens always makes phone with crappy firmware and takes its sweet time to update it. WM5.0 meens stable software, I hope. And now P50 is PC Mag's Editor's Choice, plus it has GPS if it can be of any use in Egypt.

Ok Mr. Sharkie, or let's say JAWS
I've been in touch with WM5 for quite some time now on a JasJar, and I'd say I'm not that impressed. Truely it's feature-packed, but it takes a lot of getting used to just get acquainted with where everythinh is.
And another major problem took place. The sms inbox once reached the level of 1000 sms, and that was when all the trouble started. Hanging, refusal to send sms, and receiving any new sms were problems that were not totally fixed even after emptying the inbox to the level of only 100 sms and keeping it at that level.
I wonder if the same problem is faced with the WM5 smartphone Edition. |

Really I don't understand why you would even keep 1000 SMS.
Anyways, anyone here going to swith to the new company when it comes out. Given the ridiculous amount of money they payed for the licence maybe they'll be giving out free phones with contracts they do seem to have the money.

Conspicuously the 1000 sms were not personal sms.
Etisalat is the one of the strongest contenders in the mobile market in the MENA region. They're just a couple of steps behind OT, after the latter's giant leap when it acquired Italy's Wind.
They do have that kind of money. And little by little we'll move to the package system in Egypt, linke in Europe, thanks to them.
2 important elements that will make their operation even more successful:
A- Internal roaming with existing operators
B- Number portability. If a customers goes to another company, they will take their dial with them.
Etisalat's entrance to the mobile market in Egypt is the second best thing that has ever happened to the Egyptian mobile market in Egypt, the first of course being privatizing the mobile sector, otherwise the number of subscribers wouldn't have exceeded 1.000.000 since 1998  |
