Hey guys! Long time I havent posted!

Anyway, just wanted your opinion:

K700i -or- W300i -or- W550i -or- Z530i -or- Z550i

I already own a K7 and I want to buy a new one. Which one should I go with?

Wish I could get a W710 though, but PAUCITY of funds doesnt allow!

Please reply,
Shaunkii

Either the W300 or the W550.

The W300 would be a downgrade from the K700 bar the memory expansion. You may not like the lower quality screen. So for you maybe W550.

Get the W300 for memory expansion and battery life OR the W550 for screen, camera and better looks ; )

That IS what I want to know! Should I go for memory expansion and battery life OR screen and camera?

Anyway, thanks for the quick replies!

W550 is great if 256mb is enough. Very very loud too! I loved it (although I actually had a W600, lol)

Seing as you've added the Z530 and Z550, go for the Z550. Z550 has the best screen (better than the W550), same camera resolution as the W550 and has memory expansion. It only lacks a Walkman music player. W300 is better than the Z530 so don't consider the Z530.
If you want to get the phone now, it'll be quite a wait for the Z550. If you're asking about whether battery life and memory expansion is important, it is only up to your own needs. Maybe if you already have a dedicated music player for storing all of your songs onto, then the W550 is better for just having the convenience of an all in one intergrated device for the odd listen every now and again. If you plan on using the phone more for music then go for the W300 for that purpose and it has better battery life.

In short:
K700 = No real reason to get this one.
W300 = Memory expansion for storing more songs if you want to use it as our only music player with very good battery life; 29 hours on flight mode.
Z530 = W300 without flight mode, FM radio and Walkman
W550 = Good overall phone, lacks memory expansion so only useful for the odd listen, good for casual listening. Flight mode.
Z550 = Combination of Z530 and W550. Good screen, camera, FM radio, memory expansion but lacks Walkman. Long wait for release. No sure about flight mode.

Go for the W550. Suits all your needs, and the W300 is a downgrade from your current phone.
