So if it is wrong area then i am sorry... but...

I am havin a tough time choosing between phones.

I could get the Nokia 6230i for Free on contract
I could get the Ericsson k750i for 30 on contract
Nokia 6680 for 30 on contract
or the ericsson w800i for 50 on contract..

I am not really sure what is the best, as they all seem to have similarly good reviews..

Thanks.

The 'best' depends on what features you are looking for in a new phone. The 6230i is crap....thats why its free

The k750i/w800i is an excellent camphone cum media player....with features that should suffice for most average users

The 6680 is a 3g smartphone.....which is useful if you're looking for a smartphone with 3g capabilities...and if you are the kind of user who likes to try out a lot of applications on the phone.....btw...most folks who buy expensive smartphones hardly ever use the 'smart' part of the phone.

I'd agree with Sunny, go for one of the SE models, mate.

kachopra I hope you don't live in same area as sunny7 cuz if you do he will steal from you what ever phone u get...

Now on topic:
The 6680 is a nice smartphone but a bit big.
I would go for the k750 or the w800.
Depends really on if you want a good camera/musicplayer/phone or a phone with ok camera and a OS that lets you install custom applications.

If the applications in the k750/w800 fits your needs .. get one of those.

I costs 20 more right?

For that u get a 512mb MS DP card and some good earphones.

It's really up to you to look at your needs
If you can get a good mp3 flash player for that money u could go for a k750 and a mp3 flash player...

Here is a link with the 3 phones compared to each other
http://www.esato.com/phones/index.php?phone=168&cp=167&cp2=179

Here u can see the 6680 got EDGE and UMTS,
on the other hand it don't have IrDA or Radio,
and it only have a 1,23MP camera.

K750i W800i 6680:
Standbytime (h) 400 400 264
Talktime (m) 540 540 360

Height 100 100 108
Width 46 46 55
Depth 20 20 21
Weight 99 99 133

I thought the memory cards were like 30+??

It seems that the 750 and 800 are basically identical in features....and i dont really need a mp3 playing phone an awful lot..

Yeh, but you may as well get the better headphones and bigger memory card for only £20 more...

That is just my opinion though. I also think the w800i looks slightly snazzier...

Enjoy whichever you decide on getting...

Yes, basically identical in features...

With the w800 u get a 512MB MS in the box and the phone
can work in flightmode/music only mode, but if you already have a mp3 player then you probably don't need a w800...

But go to the store and try them out to see for your self wich feels more like "you"

Are the orange menus and all that off putting though??

Is there anything the 750 has over the 800?
