Which Phone to Pick

tech

OK Im think of getting a new phone

Main concerns are battery life
Easy of use on Menu's
Call Quality
features

*** Disclaimer - I work for a phone company***
OK..
I'd stay away from the U6 (the pebl) as it's rubbish IMO tends to fall apart - Not a good sign
The V3 and V3X haven't got great battery life
The W800i is a great phone but I've come across a few too many with software issues.
I don't know anything about the N70 or the 6280 to tell you the truth.
I've never heard of any trouble with the 6230i, AFAIK it's a good solid phone.
I really like the Sony Ericsson K750i. Huge battery life, 2 megapixel camera and easy to use. And my personal favourite is the Nokia 3250 check here >>http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,80112,00.html

It would seem that if video calls and a 2Megapixel camera are not top of your concerns, then the 6230i is the one to go for.

It has been around for a year now and is still a very popular Nokia handset in terms of the quantities sold each month.

Call quality is excellent. Easy to use menus and battery life good.

I have mine nearly a year now and would happily keep it for another year.

for ease of use i would stick to sony or nokia, motos can be hard to get on with.

the best phone above is the n70, it runs the symbian series 60 os, which means you can run a lot of software on it.

for example using a bluetooth gps i run route 66 mapping software as sat nav on mine.

if you arent into extra functionality and just want a good phone then its between the 6230i and the k750i, personally i prefer the k750i, better camera and better looking in my opinion

None of the above, wait another month or so and get a K800i which will make all these look like yesteryears rusty Lada's..

Get something cheapo in the intirim in the mobiles for sale forum some nice bargains to be got there.

The picture quality and overall features of the K800i are totally worth the short term wait (or just buy a K750i to sell on ebay until the K800i gets in your grubby little hands...*ahem*..this may or may not be my current plan..)

k800i will have a fancy camera thats it, functionality will not be better than the k750i, ie miles bnehind any nokia s60 device

I'd never choose anything other than a series 60 device now (6630/6680/N70/N90 etc). But the interface can take a bit of getting used to, its nothing like the standard Nokia interface.
For example, pressing the red "hang up" button is like pressing the Minimise button on your PC, it doesn't actually close the app. But once you remember the little things like that they're great phones.

Agreed. Have had the 7650, 7610, 6630 and 6680 handsets over the past few years and they are by far the best.

You did not mention what handset you have at the moment. If you are used to normal Nokia's then you would probably feel at home with the 6230i..

I currenty use a 6310i and a 6230 i

both great phones the battery in the 6239i could be better tough

So the LG U8360 isn't an option? That has the best battery life of all the 3 phones!
