Planetarion Forums - T68i or Someone tell me what phone to get

Ragnarak · 24 Jul 2003, 17:35

My contracts almost up so going to upgrade my phone (i hate the 8310

)

I'm broke at the minute so need a phone that's free or at least fairly cheap on a O2 contract.

Someone tell me how good the T68i is or suggest another phone

If I tell you, will you listen?

I shall pass on my experience gained from last weekend:
Nokia 7250s don't like to be submerged in water after you're bundled into a child's inflatable pool at a drunken birthday BBQ.

Hope that helps narrow down your phone selection.

I like 8310s, they are sexy.

I'm using my 8310 now since my 7250 isn't waterproof.

I don't know the O2 prices, but you should aim for the Nokia 6100. I pick phones without worrying about prices. I currently have the Sony Ericsson T610, and want my 6100 back. 6610 is a good substitute.

T68i is a great phone. Get it on Vodafone

I love my t68i.

Comparable nokia ones are either bigger or way more expensive.

Get it!

Bizarro · 24 Jul 2003, 22:25

I simply just love my new Nokia 6610.

_Way better than my dad's SE t68i IMO.

Working for Vodafone.

T68i is a steaming pile of rotten arse. Good concept, slow menu system, more bugs than a Windows operating system, absolute nightmare to try and text message on, all in all, not worth it.

Also, its been replaced by the T610, which has all the same features, a faster menu, built in camera, really high quality colour screen, etc etc.

And anybody who bought a Nokia 7250 is a stone cold fking idiot too.

Ahhh. That'll be me then.
But in hindsight, i would say you're right .
My fav phone i have owned so far is my 8310.
Not got all the wizzy crap that the new phones have, but small, fast and sexy.

Speaking from experience, what would you say is the best phone out there?
The 6600 'looks' cool, but i'm sure Nokia can '7250' it and mess it up before it's released.

I've got a T300,since I got it rather cheap,with camera. The screen is way too small though,and it's the same screen as on the T68i,so I'd go for something with camera and larger screen.

Cause sending pics to each other is SO much fun

I used to only use Nokias, but now I'm hooked on Siemens. Apart from the T9 txt not being as good as Nokia's, I prefer them overall. I have a M50 which I'm about to replace. But I'd want another Siemens because I'd miss the MP3 player.

I have a Siemens A50 and it rings people up.

i loved my t68 till it went wrong every month. i ended up selling it for £30 (thats a loss of £100) for parts.

im getting a t610 at the weekend so id go for the t610 if u want to go SE way www.esato.com is always a good place for se phones and reviews n stuff.

if u want nokia go for the n-gague(new gamboy phone) or the photo thing that looks like the 7210 i think tis the 7250i or sum think like that.

oh and the top of the PDA phones is the SE P800 with its symbian os. thats jus roxors but at like £200 on contract and £600 on payg then i dont really call that cheap

roadrunner_0 · 25 Jul 2003, 17:45

i used to love my 7110

i now hate my 3330

get something with lots of space for SMS messages, as that is one of the things i miss most about not having my 7110 anymore

There is no such thing as a 'best phone' - there is only the right phone for you.

I've used Nokia for the past 8 or so years, but I'm tending to steer away from them now due two several years of uninterupted ****eness on their part.

If you can take the time to learn the new menu system, go for something different, personally I'm looking at getting either the Samsung P400, the Samsung S300 or quite possibly the new Sharp GX20.
