Hello,

I have a T610 and am quite happy with it and it satisfies me complete. I wanted to buy a cell fone for my sis, was checkin the new ones of nokia ( as newcomers find nokia easy to use than ...is it correct?) and bumped on the new color display 3100 handset. It looked cool with all GPRS and glowing cover and etc. etc..
Now, i am in a dilemma, i just know that t68i is superb value for money.. and i have a budget of say 180 US$ to buy one color fone.

Could anyone tell me which one would be the ideal choice?
considering the following features:
- color display
- ease of use
- nice looking and ergonomic (trouble free usage)
- (connectivity is secondary as its gonna be used only for calls and sms's and mms's).


Thanks very much in advance.

I would have the T68i, in my experiance it is far better!

Also, you can get a camera attachment for it, the 3100 has no camera facility (as far as i know )

oh no @djpowelly , i can get a lousy accessory as a cam for this 3100..
what i am really wanting to know is..

is there a real nice color fone with good basic features which is better than the n3100 pricewise ?.

.

i'd really gone and nearly bought that 3100 but decided against it for a couple more days.. .
So please tell me should i go or shouldnt i.. ?

i havent really seen the display of t68i.. hows it compared to 3100?.

I'd go with the n3100. Just casue it's newer and has a better screen and java, poly's and if it's for your sister then that's probably what she'll want.

love the t68i, but dude its old new. looks better though.

BTW i can get them cheaper then $180 USD. PM if you want me to find you one.

thanks @DragonEye..

but dunno we could change the wallpaper of 3100 as frequently as i t68i with its IR and serial connectivity..

pricewise i think 3100 is higher..

all in all i think the display is more good in 3100 than t68i..

and its very slim and u know looks like a candy thing.. thats what girls want..

Brother, the 68i has a 256 color display. The nokia has 4096 colors. The SE has 101*80 size. The nokia has 128*128 size. Definately the nokia has a richer display The SE display is old story. Ok now, the SE has bluetooth. The nokia has only ir. I guess the looks and connectivity is the only advantage in SE. The nokia has poly, java. Another phone worth considering is the t230. Much better and cheaper the MCA30 IS MUCH BETTER. oNLY IT DOES not have java but mophun is good. 230 does not have ir. 32 chord poly

3100 doesn't have irda..at least the one my dad uses doesn't

you'll need wap access or data cable to do your tinkering.

i was very impressed with the n3100 as a low end phone... better then the t226 and t300/310. IMHO

It got that cool pulsating light stuff too. and the ringers are loud.. only 16 poly i think.

all the ericsson have the pulsating lights too but they are built within the ringtone and not a phone function.

no irda

and i'm 100% my dad's doesn't have irda either.

but mines a North American version 850/1800/1900

the europe version is 900/1800/1900

but there is also a n3108 that may have irda
