Hi everyone (1st post  )
I’m thinking about upgrading my phone from my Samsung e720 to one of the Sony Ericsson models but there’s just so much choice that I have absolutely no idea what to go for, would anyone be able to out line 2 or 3 of the more popular phones that SE offer for me just so I can get an idea of what there is, also what are the future models for this summer from SE and are they worth the wait, sorry that my question is very vague and will require good knowledge of SE phones but I guess you guys will easily be up to the task

Well I’m after something’s that stylish and doesn’t look tacky, the phone will need to have good audio when in use for calls (something my e720 doesn’t give). A good quality camera would be ideal because I like to take pics when im out but my 1.0 mp cam on my e720 just sucks, the option to use mp3s as ring tones is a must, almost anything else would be a bonus |

imo
if you were to get a phone now, w810 (but im partial to the styling)
if you willing to wait a few newer models should be out in a couple of months, nokias n series is quite nice |

Ruling out smartfones.. And assuming you are a music (& style) buff.. Walkman branded ones would be some option.. On a diff paradigm, depending on hw choosy u r about tech obsol'cnce.. Be careful, older accesories, ports may NOT work if designs keep gting changed, fr eg. Sony hs devlpd Micro SD flash memory& is gona make THAT a standrd feature. Also, depending on budget, get an A2DP set if music minded (BT ver2 offers listenin to more dan just calls on headfones) mostly such fones would have ur 1MP+ cam ;)

W810.. old *haha* that babies parents barely finished passionate sex.. That fonez a toddler if one cud call it so.. While at it, K800's specs might interest you too.. Outside SE, in Jp mkts atleast Sharp etc have phones with cams with optical zoom.. since you an avid fotographer.. And like I also say.. For most times my pocket (and its depth) ride OVER my heart (and its desires, , wants, needs)

i think i might buy a new w810i and see what i make of it, if i like it then i will hang on to it and if i dont then i can always sell it and then just get a k800i when im due my upgrade, anyone know what the retail price is for a w810i on t-mobile or any where i can pick up one cheapish? |
