New Phone Help!

Most of us here have a mobile phone. I'm thinking of asking for a new one for christmas. There are a few I'm considering.

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:

Wow, ferret. I use an inexpensive Motorola flip phone. It doesn't even have a camera and I don't text much. I do use the phone as my primary so I use it a lot. My monthly bill is between $70 and $80. I have LOADS of minutes that I wish could be rolled over.

I would personally pick the 1st one because I'm a sucker for a sleek design. However, my friend has an Ericsson almost as identical as the second one and he loves it. I guess it depends on the way you use your cell phone. If you like lightweight and want to play music...#2. If you just use it for its primary purpose ,have extra cash to blow and want to show off a little...#1. If you're a gamer and think you'll be using your phone to go on the internet...#3.

Keep your ass AWAY from Ericssons!!

I work at a call centre doing cell phone tech support - I've only been there a couple weeks, but already the vast majority of my calls have been about Ericcsons.

Can't tell you much about the other ones...I don't deal with data phones at all. But I just wouldn't feel right letting you buy an Ericcson unwarned. They're lemons, the whole lot of 'em.

My current phone is the iPhone.

It's certainly not perfect, but it is pretty damn good. Good web browser, good email.

Previous to that, I have mainly had Nokias. They do most things well, and have a pretty intuitive interface.

I dropped a remote control in a glass of tea which really aggravated me. The replacement stopped working but that's ok. I don't watch VHS much anymore.

How in the heck did your phone get in the microwave? Kids?
