Which Phone is the Way to Go?

[napster]

dont go for e63, i used it for a week and trust me, i was banging my head at least once a day, it keeps hanging a lot. except that its a very good phone, if you dont add music, files, images and all the phone works fine, once you fill some 1gb or so, it starts hanging and that irrirtates me a lot

i dont have 1 GB worth of stuff to fill so it is ok right?

Okay to explain more about E63, Its a kind of smart phone.

In any smart phone Internal memory is the Key to go!

E63 has got 120MB of internal memory which is lesser than average.

Next comes processor. E63 has ARM 11 369 MHz processor which is again a medicore.

And it has loads of features like 3G, WiFi, Vis Radio & QWERTY key board.

You can go ahead & buy this if you want to use this more like a mini computer.

But if you try to use this as an multimedia device the its not the phone to buy!

it will be used as an all-purpose phone
some entertainment and also work!

 

[napster]

you might not have gb's of data as of now, but sooner or later you'll be in need of it and then you might be having such problems so think twice before you go for it.

Exactly! A hanging phone is a pain in the arse!

Sony Ericsson's are Java based phones and do not hang as often and no virus issues too!

Go for Nokia E63! The only probs with this on is lack of HSDPA and built in GPS receiver. But if you are keen on these features go for E71. These two models don't have a back light for the keyboard which some of the users finds annoying. Unlike N series, E series are stable and I never had an issue with my E51 so far.

Also, check out Samsung Behold.

damn that is sad!
E71 exceeds my budget!

[sriharsha]

Yes! that is a sad part of it.

I never used LG stuff as the review is not that good. Its said that it gets hot very easily. I am not sure though.

Seriously ??!! I never heard about such a complaint. Did you install any specific application ?

Any updates Archie?

well not as of now
but i am really forward to buying the E63 but after napster's experience i am thinking about the SE W910i!

 

[type-r]

now i found a shop that will repair my iPhone for 5-6 K which is really good
My budget has hopped a bit higher
instead of E63, i am looking at the E71 or 5800 Xpress Music
Crazy Cat, please give your review about the 5800
so i don't know what i should do!!
iPhone? E71? or 5800 Xpress Music?

 

[cooldhaya]

My friend is having Nokia 5800 xpress music , its good only!! Has wi-fi , 3g etc!! Its a good phone only!! Good phone for your purpose i think!! xpress music phones doesn hang much when compared to E and N series phones!! But internal memory only 81MB but expandable upto 16GB!! Costs 13k in Chennai!! How about there??

 

[type-r]
