Looky Looky What I Just Ordered !!

Bodhi - you can download a normal ring if there isnt - whack it on the phone as an MP3 and set that as ringtone.

Custom message tones aswell.

And yes - it is a fully functional MP3 player with upgradeable memory card (Sony Memory Stick Micro)

 

[bodhi]

Hmmmm, interesting. So you have actually got this phone Chris then? Ive been looking on the net and the Nokia's arn't getting the best writeups.

So, the SE is easy to use? MP3 player. Great camera and screen. But, does it look cool and easily fit into a pocket!!

 

[ChristopherP]

See the pictures in my 1st post - its by far in my opinion the best looking phone on the market!!

SE's are generally dead easy to use - joystick goes up down left and right and push it in for select - how much easier can it be?

Yeah they fit into pocket

Nokia have gone downhill spending all their time on trying to release a zillion new models that look good. They forgot about the rest. Apart from the N91 is meant to be good... but thats more of a PC than a phone.

I'm taking notes here

I'm gonna negotiate a new contract in Decemeber when contract runs out or I may just phone Orange and tell 'em I'm poxed off with them and see what they say.

It would seem the solution is to threaten to leave - so be it.

I've been 10 years with Orange, it would appear I could have done better.

As for phones, I had Nokia for 7 years, thought they were good, had Sony Ericcson for a year - worst bloody phone I've ever owned, and Samsung D500 for almost two years - best phone I've ever used, imo.

I quite fancy the Samsug D600. I have a camera, I have an I-Pod, so I only really interested in phone features, nowt else.

Oh, and I absolutely hate flip-tops, too fragile, too inconvenient, I prefer the Samsung's 'slide open' feature.

Just my preference, nowt else

 

[ChristopherP]

Which SE was it you had?

The early ones were bad.

Yeah just call them up and tell them you quit.

The New SE is superior to the newer Samsungs in my opinion...

No - 3 to 5 days courier Free delivery of course

Twas a 610 I think. Didn't look right, didn't feel right and worst thing of all was it couldn't be prgrammed beyond four rings before cutoff. Was I ever glad to get rid of that POS

In which way is the new SE superior to the Samsung D600 then?

As mentioned earlier, I not interested in mp3 or camera, so forget that side of things.

Sample pictures (reduced to a reasonable size) from Mobile-review.com

Also...

From the same place.

the AF light - makes it more like a real digital camera!

 

[ChristopherP]

In what ways is it superior?

Well i prefer the looks, and the SE has a fantastic predictive text input system.

You can set your own ringtones from MP3s etc etc and its generally better - but thats my opinion.

Hey if you like the Samsung - get that one

 

[floppybootstomp]

Oh right, loads of tottie is gonna influence my decision isn't it?

Er, well, er.........

 

[TriplexDread]

I have my SE 750i, good fone. Due for an upgrade next week

Chris out of curiosity. At first didnt you get the phone free when you signed up 11months ago?

If you did then surely you get the next free depending on the model?

I do, every year!

 

[floppybootstomp]

Must admit, in ten years, I've never paid for a phone.

Which is one thing I like about monthly contracts.

 

[ChristopherP]

No - i paid £24.99 for mine - half price because i'm a student. **i think** cant really remember

Which just reminded me - maybe i should have pushed for a student discount aswell!

 

[crazylegs]

Nahhhhhh the Samsung D600 looks loads better than the ericsony......It's the best looking phone out there at the mo....And menu wise it is easily the market leader.....

 

[crazylegs]

Thats not to say your phone isn't a nice looking phone though Chris.....

 

[ChristopherP]

Not so keen...

The only thing i think it has over the "Ericsony" (I like that abbrev alot!!) is the abilty to password protect pictures...

 

[bodhi]

THERE ARE TOO MANY PHONES ON THE MARKET!!

This is not a good thing as i am RUBBISH at making decision!! :-(
