I need a new mobile

Life's like that! Add comments

Its time to replace my old and lovely Nokia 6610. I am using it since 2 years and must say it was value for money. But now the battery is weak, talktime is low. One call makes the battery bar jump from full to half and after another call I start getting the low battery warning :( I can sell this handset as it is for 2800 and a new battery costs 1400 (400 in grey market). A new battery doesn’t seem value for money.

I am just plain confused. Which one should I buy now? Shall I go for Nokia 6681 or Nokia N70? Shall I switch brand and go over to Sony Ericsson K750 or Sony Ericsson W800? My heart says go for Nokia. Thats a tried and tested brand that has given satisfactory results. My brain says go for Sony Ericsson, they are more reasonably priced, gives value for money and W800 is for music buffs like me. I am confused. But SE W800 has one major drawback! It comes in only orange colour. :roll:

Worst part is pocket permits all ;), otherwise it would have been an easy decision.

    N70 is also good by SE W800 is value for money :)

    What about the Orange colour? :shock: At times, I am in suit and tie for professional meetings/work.

    If it would have been in some decent colours, I would not have thought even twice and would have bought it right away. It really is value for money, but the colour spoils it all :(

    I think the grey market may have alternate colors for it. Also, it’s based on the k750i design, so I don’t know, but maybe…

    There are some difference in features between K750 and W800. So I would prefer the W800.

    I don’t want a grey market piece :( I need a bill. I take depreciation on it in my accounts.

    well, you should write down you budget and your requirements on a piece of paper & then consider the handsets which meet both your requirements & budget. :)

    If you don’t need good music on the move & a 2MP camera, you can safely do away with both K750i & W800. If you are more of a power user kind, going in for a smart phone would be for you, like Nokia 7710 or the N series or an O2. If you want a budget phone, then Nokia 6600 & 7610 are quite a bit of favourites among people right now!! :)
