What Sony to buy?

Trotter

Im heading to Dubai for a few days next week and I was wondering if I might get a good Sony phone there for less than it might cost here.

Im after something along the lines of the Nokia 6233.. Good video, bluetooth, MP3 compatible, decent calender etc.

What would you all recommend? I was thinking of the W960i.

ill tell you right now mate, i was in dubai and as soon as you come out of the arrivals area in the airport your bombarded by phone sales, but heres the thing, there the exact same price as expansys, the only thing you get is extra arabic letters on your keyboard, im serious, i thought there was going to be a price difference but there wasnt,


also i reccomend going to the centre of dubai and into one of the shopping centres (forget the name) but its solidly filled with computer shops, you can pick up cheap non branded mp4 players and the like, for branded stuff though dubai is the same price

also if your on meteor i have a 6233 brand new, never opened in box you can have for 119.99 euro

Thats a pity, I thought electronics would be a lot cheaper there.

I actually have a 6233 at the moment. Gradually I've gone off Nokia.. their firmware is awful.

yeah i thought the same some stuff (mp3 players etc...) are 20/30 euros cheaper and you can haggle a good deal on some stuff. but anything non branded is really cheap, they bring it in on boats from asia (particularly around the creek)

memory cards
mp3 players
mp4 players
small lcd televisions (under 12")
car stereos
earphones
odd computer accessories

So lets say I just wanted to change to a Sony mobile regardless.. based on something similar to what the 6233 is "supposed" to do..

What would you all recommend? I've no upgrade left so I'd have to just buy it myself from somewhere.
