New Cellphone

[AMG]

I am thinking of getting a new corby mate as i am absolutely in love with its looks.
So all you cellphone freaks, give me feedback.

 

[amaan1994]

What is your budget AMG? And what are the features you're looking for?

BTW I LOVE your username

Corby is cool. I quite like it a lot. But there are quite a lot of versions of it. What's your budget? We, cellphone freaks, can help you out better! LOL

Samsung Corby is a really good phone. I love almost all samsung touch screens even the samsung star.

But Corby has problems arising out of it. My friend's Corby got dead a month after he purchased , though he got a new replacement from Samsung! And also i don find it to be user-friendly a touch complicated!

Ironically, this is not a touchscreen.
I dont like touchscreen phones much.
I am kind of confused between this and E63.
E63 is Rs.4,000 more expensine, so i guess i will have to put extra effort to convince my parents.
Here is a link to the specs.

Still thinking

Thanks for the compliment, Aman

Anyone else?

I think you should skip Corby Mate and go for E63.

Corby Mate - Cons

1. No 3G
2. Small screen (2.0 Inches) compared E63 (2.36 Inches)
3. No 3.5 mm audio jack
4. Low internal memory (40 MB) compared to E63 (120MB)
5. Higher limit of 1000 entries in phone book. E63 has no limit!
6. Lack of hot swap
7. No memory test figure is available. E63 is tested up to 16 GB.
8. Out dated GPRS (Class 10 32 - 48 kbps) compared to E63 (Class 32, 100 kbps)
9. Out dated EDGE (Class 10, 236.8 kbps) compared to E63 (Class 32, 296 kbps)
10. No WLAN
11. No Document editors
12. Missing Organizer
13. Battery life is better in E63 (Li-Po 1500mAh) compared to Corby (Li-Ion 800mAh).
14. Low stand by (Up to 380 h) compared to E63 (Up to 432 h)
15. Low talk time (Up to 5 h) compared to E63 (Up to 11 h)


So I don't find a good reason for you to buy Samsung Corby instead of E63! Be futuristic, buy E63

I am stuck on its looks.
Anyways E63 is out of budget.
So now its between C3 and corby mate.
C3 has extra wi-fi but its looks are not as good as mate.

Now choice between two handsets

Sony Ericsson W395
Sony Ericsson W395 - Full phone specifications

Nokia X3

I feel the Nokia X3 is the better deal. It looks nicer, fresher and is a new entrant in the market. It is also feature-loaded and for its price, pretty good value for money! If I were in your place, the X3 would be an obvious choice for me. It's out of my budget or else I would have considered it too.

And moreover X3 sounds so cool! Like a BMW X3

6500 bucks is out of your budget?

 

[amaan1994]

6500 bucks is out of your budget?

Yup. Mom has given me a limited budget of Rs.5.5k and told me to stick to it strictly

 

[AMG]

Try the Sony Ericsson w395.
5700 bucks.
Put 200 from your pocket money.
