Another Cellphone Thread

[Jackal]

So I'm thinking about joining the 21st century and getting a cellphone. My only stipulations are I do not want an open-faced phone and I'd like to keep it below $400.
I'd remain a cave man but since I'm going to be at GDC and E3 I'll need something to communicate with other people while I'm there. Any recs?

[Fjoggs]

Open-faced phone?

Well if you're going to spend that much on a phone, you could get one with a contract.
Basically they give you a phone for cheap, and you sign a two year contract.

Yeah I know. Problem being that I don't know how long I'm going to be here for.

Get some walkietalkies dude.

You could stand in a corner observing the area, and when you want to contact your friends you casually whip out your device and snag the antenna with your teeth and go like: 'This is black goose, the package has arrived' or something similar, and it'll look supercool.

Go for the V3x if anything. (2 megapixels).



Here's mine, Sony Ericson k750i I paid around £140. It also has the 2mp camera and built in memory card slot (sony memory stick duo) so you can stick more mp3s and whatever on it to listen to.

Quick pic I took on the camera, outside my house:


Pretty good saying it was dark too.

that or the w800i would be my pick, yes sir.

[Jackal]

Argh, first post "I do not want an open-faced phone."

[+JuggerNaut+]

MY pick. MINE.

[Jackal]

PICK FOR ME!!!!

[SplishSplash]

Samsung D600 and Sony W800i are the best cell phones right now.

If you don't mind carrying a brick around, you could also look at the W900i. It makes a cool sound when you open it and has 470 MB integrated memory plus Memory stick.
So it's even better than the first two I mentioned, but it really is huge.

[o'dium]

I've had the Samsung d500 for the last year, and in March i'll be upgrading my contract to the D600. only thing i dont like about it so far is it IS a bit naff looking compared to the D500 But it has a lot more feature wise and a lot of the bullshit stuff has been fixed up (Stupid obvious shit like not being able to have custom message tones).

[Foo]

noone cares about your criteria Jackal, they just want to talk about their phones.

[Grudge]

I'm surprised Doombrain hasn't posted any pictures of his phone yet

[SplishSplash]

Well apart from the w800 the phones I suggested do meet his criteria.

pretty similar looking in size, really.

w800i which has a lower built-in storage capacitiy (256mb i think) but an included 512mb pro and support up to 2Gig .

[SplishSplash]

Yes it's a lot bigger. I've had it in my hand.

Worst thing is that it's so thick.
