New Phone Help!

[missmacabre]

Im in the same boat as Nella. I have a very basic $20 phone, pay as you go. It looks like crap but it's durable as hell. I dropped it and it fell in 4 pieces but it went back together easy and still works perfectly.

My sister has something very similar to the sidekick and it's a beauty. I think that will be your best bet. The qwerty keyboard is gonna be great and you'll get used to the rollerball sensitivity pretty quick. I just think that if you get the Samsung you're going to have to be very careful with it. I would be scared to own anything so thin and the possibility of ruining the touch screen sucks aswell.

Samsung F480 Tocco

This is the most expensive of the three, and also the newest. It's a completely touch screen phone with a customizable interface based on Widgets. It has a 5 mega pixel camera and can have SD cards.



Sony Ericsson W850i

This is the cheapest of the three. I think it's the oldest too. It has a large MP3 player, a 2 mega pixel camera and from what I can tell, is the easiest to control. It's a sliding phone.



T-Mobile Sidekick 3

This is the middle phone. Not oldest or newest, not cheapest of most expensive. It has a qwerty keyboard and is very sturdy. It's camera is less than 2 megpixels but it has a lot of storage capabilities. Also, instead of a joystick or D-Pad, it has a roller ball.



So, please, which one would you choose? I'm swaying towards the Samsung, which I just discovered today. I've had my eye on the Ericsson for a while and I finally had a go on the Sidekick and it was easy to use, although the roller ball was very sensitive.:confused:

i have one of these for work ..its ok ..
i need it for when em out doing the jobs banking so stay in touch with
the company...its pretty cool but i prefer the blackberry my silly egyptian
gave me

Hmmm. It does look good and I was really set on it, but when I finally had a go on one my friend owns, I felt a bit let down. Maybe it was because I was really excited, I built it up too much.

go with what you feel suits you.

The sony i feel is a females phone anyways..
it fits snugly in my hand and it works for me..but thats cos i have tiny hands.
i do also have an 027 sanyo..flip top ..for my personal use..
its purple but it looks more pink..
thats not too bad either ..however..the battery keeps dying on it all the time..
u need to leave it on charge overnight all the time.

as i sed..nothing beats the blackberry.

blackberrys are very good.

Just found out the camera on the tocco has face recognition. That's good, right? Well it also has smile recognition. You press the button, and using nface recognition, it doesn't take the photo until the subject is smiling!
