@pxth: Anyhow, think i'll steer clear of any 3G phones till I see where and how good the 3g services are offered. Does any one know the going price for a k700 now? in Abj its abt 26k but i thought it should be lower than that by now. Weds Guardian ddnt help either. |

You could get it for 22k but I'll advise you get a k600 or v600 for 19k instead. Better camera, performance, battery and a later model that's closer to k750 plus additional advantage of 3g.
I just went tru the last posts of AYA vs Abu and would like to state that some people choose phones based on the brand name while the wiser guys base their choice on balancing between features wanted/performance/price.
I'm an SE fan that would not buy a SE phone that does not meet my exact needs, so I decided to try out some few Nokias last month and realized something.. No matter how loyal you are to a brand, loyalty starts to diminish once you test other products and find out they are at par or even better. Nokia has been getting their acts right lately and gradually distancing themself from SE.. They've been producing phones with better screens, features & advanced technology while SE is still living on the walkman glory. |

@mamba: lets get something a bit clear. when you say Nokia screens are getting better, do you mean better than thier older screens or better than SE screens? cos apart from the lower end Z520i (with 65k colours) all new SE phones have 262k. Can I say the same about Nokia? No. (before any arguements break out, my definition of "new" is any phone to some out within the last 12 months.)
If SE was living off any glory, it would have been that of bringing tech like bluetooth and decent photography to the common man. not the imperilist, bourgeois, reactionist pigs!!! (dont mind me, i was reading some Mao a few days back and had a real laugh at some of the terms they used like that.) But seriously, I give you the task to give me a few nokia phones and thier SE counter parts (price wise) and lets do a face off!!!
@all: Lets have a real competition!!!! Who will be the 1st person to post on page 500!!!??? The prize will be.... a.......um.... a......

@abu, check gsmarena for some nokia phones and i'm sure you wont argue with me about screens. many nokias now come with 16M screens. check for 6131 orE60/61. read the reviews of N80 or better yet try it out and you'll be amazed at the screen quality at 256k. latest nokia screens have higher resolutions than SE which is a known fact. nokia has actually made remarkable changes to their OS, designs, price/quality ratio, features, and introduction of online update. it's clear that they are trying to please some SE fans like me which they've succeeded in doing lately.

i'm very sure you can get a brand new nokia 6600 for the same price as k700i with added advantage of memory card, symbian etc. compare E60 vs M600 and u get a cheaper, more stable nokia with added wifi over a trade-off btw a small touch screen & lousy keypad vs full qwerty with bigger & better screen. But surely, SE makes better cam/music phones which are definitel not on my scale of preference. i know for sure the reason why AYA went for his latest nokia, it has to do with moving from a multimedia SE P-series to a real hard working nokia 9500.

@mamba: my windows had a problem so im reinstalling so i cant dissect you post for now, but lots of your facts are dead wrong. eg the "bigger" screen size of the E61. it is 320x240. M600 is 240x320. isnt that the same size? i will concede tho that the 16m res on the E61 is kickass! before i can get back ur and running, someone post the current price of the E61?

@mamba: Had to edit this post cos i got my phones mixed up!!!! Does the 6600 have a card port? Well comparing the 6600 and the k700, K700 seems to be the better buy. Check the stats at
http://www.esato.com/phones/index.php/phone=97,cp=122
Better standby and talktime, fm radio,camera light, display size...
Lets get the expandable memory issue straigtened out.

Haba Abu, even me I know say that na lie. Nokia 6600 beats the K700 any day. Its a smartphone for heavens sake.
I'm afraid I have to agree with Mamba on the Nokia improvements, but I still remain loyal to  because of the intuitive nature of its OS. I find whatever I want where I expect to find it.

@amby: abi did i collude with esato to fix the 6600's stats? Go to the link here and tell me whats wrong. maybe it is a conspiracy against Nokia. But you gotta explan what makes it a smart phone. Its bigger, heavier and costlier!!! Has a smaller screen, less talk time, less standby time, no radio.... you na must confirm the link o!!!!!
