It's been a long time since I posted...ah well...

I just had this new desire of buying a new mobile phone, and I'm budget conscious I've decided the W700i would be a good choice...or not?

I currently own a K700i.

Thanks in advance!

Or you could get the K610, which doesn't have radio but it does have 3G and a slightly larger screen. It also has a durable d-pad, so you won't have to worry about your joystick wearing out.

Its media player is just as good as the W700 (doesn't have megabass though), but it does have flight mode, and it looks better.

if he wanna go for the w700 is because music is part of him (and megabass is essencial, guess so), not having radio is not a problem.

How about a secondhand or nearly new K750i or W800i? You have the autofocus on the camera, and bigger mem stick (if it still comes with that if secondhand). Or even go for a new one if they'r still selling them brand new.

More worthwhile upgrade imho, better phones

W810i...NO!...K610i...NO!...K750i...NO!

W810i...too expensive...

K610i...doesn't have that 256MB memory that comes packaged with W700i...

K750i...same reason...plus, Walkman phones come with that USB thingy, which allow me to transfer things...my Bluetooth port has gone kaput...

make an effort and go for the w810, its screen is very particular, it has edge and it's lighter than others mobiles also.

W700 is pathetic, might as well get a W800, or even better, the W810 because of EDGE and a brighter/better screen or so I heard. If you want uber awesomeness, get the W900i.

I don't actually think there was a good time to buy a w700, and i doubt there ever will be. Unless you don't intend to EVER use the camera, get a k750, or a w800, for only marginally more money, and a LOT better performance.
