My main problem is being a fan I tend to like all se phones. I currently have nice Sony J70 and I want an se, easy right?
My problem is both money and options, I just don't know what to buy.
Is it just me or do other people here have the same problem?
Anyway can somebody either tell me what to buy or even better maybe someone could donate an se 
I know I've said this before should I wait save a little money buy a K700 or buy now? I have several options for now which are basically T610 t630 and z600
I was going to get a z600 in January but then I saw a t630 and well I figure why should I pay extra for the fone to be a clamshell?
SE prices in Egypt are like this
T610: 1350LE vodafone branded and no other option.
T630: 1150LE used, never been on the market new.
Z600: 1650LE vodafone no other options.
K700: 2400LE no branding
1$=6.25LE aprox.
I have no Idea if you can debrand SE in Egypt and that would void your waranty. I got my J70 from dubai and live for 2.5 years without much trouble so a warranty isn't necessary unless I get a faulty fone, what's the chances of that happenning? What I'm thinking now is the T630 is real nice but how do I KNOW it's in a good condition? One thing for sure is that I would have to buy the T630 soon its so hard to find.
My real fear is I'll finally decide to wait save my money and get K700 then the clara will be announced and I'll want to get it then next thing I know it'll be three years from now I'll have PSP and a very faithful J70 and I'll still be posting more similar posts and thinking of buying the J9000 or waiting for the new SE codenamed Mustafa which will be finaly a fone I have no excuse to get and then it will get cancelled and I will die of greif witha good amount of money but as sony ericssonless as a Nokidiot.
Somebody tell me quick. I need REASONS for what I should buy, ADVICE, STRONG ADVICE. |

I want Bluetooth.
Not only is it handy its also good for bluejacking and also it seems to be a wow factor too when trying to convince other people to Buy SE.
I try my best to get family and freinds to buy se, so far only sucsessful with my father but have a few freinds looking forward to new fones soon:-) so wish me luck:-) |

If cash is the issue I would get the T630 if I were you. second hand (could be chipped!) but no branding at least

Go for the T630. That way, when the new phones are announced soon & you want to get one, knowing you didnt spend too much on a phone you've used only for a few months would make you (& your pocket) feel better. Besides, its unbranded (hate the branding; dont you?).

I had thesame problem a couple of months ago. Badly wanted the K700, my finances though weren't in agreement with my desires...so I settled for an interim compromise...bought a brand new T68i to replace my T300... I'll buy the K700 early next year when the price has sufficiently lowered.

@brix25: I've executed that strategy myself a couple of times. Works eveytime!

It works especially when you're not taking out a contract. Four months ago, before the phone had been released in SA an importer asked me an arm and leg for the K700. If I had bought it then, I would've been a bitter man today seeing how much the phone has dropped in price...they even include a free BT headset.

On the outside it looked scratchless but I'm going to go try it today and hopefully it'll be still around.
Another thing I'm considering is to see if there are any new T68i around I would save more money and I wouldn't hesitate. My only fear about the T630 other than it being faulty is that it will be hard to use with my hands , T230 is a little uncomfortable but then it doesn't have a joystick. |

You have a J70?!?! Don't change it! I have a T630 now but i still have my J70, and the Jxx hack is far the best in the world!
Take a look at: http://nimar.inj.ru , http://cmdtuning.wz.cz , http://pappfer.fw.hu (closed ;-( ) , http://syllas.com
Still my favourite phone is J70 (despite of i like T630 very much as well)

T630 is a great phone and a mature, reliable model. Plus you get a lot of bang for your buck with it. |

@pappfer
Ooops I didn't see your post on time
But I'm not going to sell my J70:-D
Now I have two phones I like although I only use one.
In the worst case scenario I'll give the J70 to my mom to use but I won't sell it to her so I can have it back if she wants something else |
