Nyff 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I get to upgrade me phone in the middle of June sometime and really not sure what to get. I'm liking all these fancy touch screen "we do just about everything" phones, but they all seem to be pretty similar to me. The Blackberrys do look nice, but I have heard they often have problems, and other than that I am probably most likely to go for either the Samsung touch screen one or the Google phone. Anyone had any experience with any of these? The thing that I'm most interested in is the WiFi and 3G+ internet on the Google Phone, as well as little things like built in GPS, but not too sure I like the overall look of it...

Craig 6682 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I have the Nokia E71 for work and the Sony Ericsson C905 for personal use. Both are highly recommendable but not touch screen. Been there, done that and wouldn't have another. It worked fine until I was out in the rain, then the sensitivity was shagged and the phone was unusable for about an hour.

donaldstott 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I have the Sony Ericsson C905 for personal use. What he said. Very recommended, though I do seem to lose access to photos and videos on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty84 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 The New I phone is due out in July i think, there's some Apple thing happening June 8th where apparently there will be some announcements on future apple things. Word on the street is their going to be releasing the 32Gig one. THe only physical difference i've heard is that the back is a matt / rubbery black, and the apple logo glows like on Macbooks etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not a 'must have' gadget for all. Anyone who is contemplating one should definitely try before you buy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that I'm most interested in is the WiFi and 3G+ internet on the Google Phone, as well as little things like built in GPS, but not too sure I like the overall look of it... I've got a G1 and the only drawback really is the battery life not being all that great - the browser works really well, the blend of touch-screen and scroll wheel is handy, plus the keyboard comes in handy for entering addresses and talking crap on messageboards, and its perfectly capable of general use; I tend to spend most of my time on the train in the morning browsing the internet on it. Oh, and I have Doom on it. The back-to-basics features are nice as it can do all the flash email stuff with gmail accounts, and there aren't any problems with the basic calling people up and texting side of things either. Camera is decent but not amazing quality, and all the fancy stuff like Wifi and GPS generally works. Its less gimmicky than the iPhone, I'd say, but all the important features are brilliant.

Suraj182 0 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I had the Nokia N73 and replaced it with the C902 in July. I personally have had a horrible experience with the C902, the keypad has actually fallen off, the phone is slow, it turns off randomly, freezes every now and then, it's terrible. My brother on the other hand, got the Samsung Tocco (I think that's what it's called) in July and he's loved it and i've got to admit, it's pretty snazzy. It's a touch screen phone with a good camera and seems to be reliable. I wouldn't get the iPhone personally, it's too much like the iPod touch...I'm just one for the Sony Ericssons. My mum got the C905 the other day, have to admit, it's impressive. Much better than my 902. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
