hi guys,

just wanna a little advice plz

so my dad has been using the S700 for quite awhile now and he needed an upgrade .. so i had 4 phones come to mind: W850, W900, K800, or N73 .. he uses his phone primarily for calling, SMS, and taking pictures .. so he need a phone with long lasting battery and decent camera + large screen (at least as big as the S700)

thanks in advance for all the input .. really appreciate it

if he doesent mind the size on his s700 , go for the w900i , if he wants a smaller phone go for k800i , if he wants a medium size phone then go for the n73

the w850i is more better for music than camera lol

If he likes the S700i then he will be impressed with the W900i - espcially as he is used to the form-factor already.

Go for the N73. It is the best overall phone. Its camera is even better than K800 (according to a public survey). Video rec is better quality and screen size is much bigger. Since N73 is a smartphone, its functionality is way more advanced than the rest.

I think he would like the W900i. Gotta have good screen when you are older to see everything good.

thanks for all the input guys .. i really appreciate it

still haven't bought the phone yet but i am leaning toward w900 though since i've read:

- w850 navigation pad is hard to press?
- k800's joystick is somewhat problematic just like the k750? (btw i am a proud user of k750 but i do admit my joystick is a bit problematic)
- n73 software is slow and problematic + it hangs quite a lot?

can anyone confirm on this? thx a bunch

If he wants a good camera avoid the w850i and the navigation is easy to use
this was not posted from a w850i as I only get 1mb of free WAP/mo

how bad is the w850's camera? i guess it's not as good as the k750, w900, or the k800 but how about if it's compared with s700?

so the navigation is not hard to use as said in the reviews? is it pressure sensitive?

thx

Let's use public surveys to determine photo quality! Just look at the N73 in low light. Shameful.

Go get the W900 if you can. It's size shouldn't be much or a problem if he's been using the S700, and the camera is good. Keys are good and you get a good mp3 player as well. 470Mb of internal memory is a great bonus and to save battery life, just turn off 3G.

The rest of the SE (except K800) photo in low light are shameful too.
Even the K800 is shameful in capturing lowlight background landscape ( you just see complete dark background). N73 night photo has purplish tint but at least you can see something that is more than 5ft away.

Take N73.... you won't regret it. Not that i'm not a SE fans, but now is the time to be objective and buy only quality product no matter the brand is... am i right on this?
btw who is the maniac wanna take the pic when there is no light at all or at least very dimmed light, wanna peep? lol... even professional photographer know that there is no way u can get best picture when light is very low.... don't take the advertisement too seriously when you don't even use it... as long as i know, N73 is superb for taking picture indor.... so issue like that is only made for advertising only
