Well it's not long now before I get to upgrade. I'd like to get an SE phone. But after having the K700 and the K750, I don't know If I want to stick with SE. The 700 had a bad joystick towards the end of it's life, and my 750(which I'm usong now) the camera has got a blob on it and it doesn't turn the camera on when I open the lense cover any more. So what should I get?

I'd like to stick with SE as I want to be able to use my memory sticks, but are the newer phones built better?

If not I need MP3 player and radio. Also a good camera, and if it is not Sony I need one that takes cheap memory of some sort.

Your sugestions/ comments on the new SE phone's please.

Thanks in advance.

@aldrew - For an 'old' but still worthwhile camfone, the Samsung D600 is my 'best' choice here . . . but if you've got money to spare . . . get the K800 mate! Good luck! [addsig]

Just wait for P990i as it's got MS PRO DUO support or if you are not a big se fan then the other phone should be a Nokia N80.

You guys are making it even more difficult for him to select from. Alot is based on lifestyle and preferences: business, entertainment, sport, etc.

1) N92
2) N80
3) K800 / K790
4) Samsung D870
5) Samsung Z710
6) Motorola RAZR V3x

Those are just some to start you off with. Compare them at gsmarena.com (where you will find other models to choose from), and decide which one is ideal to your taste.

I'd say go for the Motorola ROKR E1.
A friend of mine has one, alot more solid feeling than my k750i, 2 3D stereo speakers that go LOUD (waaaay louder than the k750) and the phone vibrates to the bass on the songs. The speakers on the side of the phone also flash in neon colours when you play music etc and actually looks good and not tacky. You can get really good themes, alot better than the k750i's because they actually change the look of the WHOLE phone, icons and everything, every theme has a new layout etc. The phone has itunes and acts as an ipod, and with the latest firmware stores 100 songs on the phone, plus you can add expansion memory. The camera isnt the greatest (300pixels) and the video isnt as clear as the k750, but other than that its an awesome phone.

@snowdevl
I don't think you metioned the 100 song limit (meaning no more than that even with memory expansion), lack of radio, larger size, lack of time management functions... the list goes on! I have a feeling your comment is a tiny bit biased...

Nah man not biased at all, I love my k750i, just comparing it to my mates ROKR.

Are you sure about the 100 song limit? I'm sure my mate has more than that on his phone, will have to find out from him.

Its not alot bigger than the k750, the screen size is pretty much exactly the same, it just has bigger buttons making it slightly longer than the k750.


Ok in summary... if you want a solid phone, that wont get dust trapped under the screen, wont get joystick problems, and that you can listen to without having to carry your earphones around everywhere, the ROKR would be perfect for you.

Me? I love the k750's camera and wouldn't settle for anything less
