I just got on to the Samsung wagon.

and I'm a fan.

recommend them actually.

Been on Motorola for the past 3ish years. and all I can say is thank FUNK I don't have a bloody Razr anymore.

my mate works for them - I'll get him to recommend what's suitable for you Fents - what sort of work environment will they be in?

asking a bit much aren't we????

I was anti flip/slide for many years.... I now have a sony-ericsson W910i (slide), which I am uber happy with. Best phone I've owned by far.

the mp3 player kicks ass too.

The new i450 is pretty nice - manufactured (or designed - not 100% sure) by B & O.

iPhone

Don't try and justify it, just get one. Something doesn't have to be justifiable to be awesome.

I'm looking too Fents. Nokia N70 is the biggest piece of shit phone I've ever had and I'm finally contract free so I can get me something that suits. Will be re-reading this thread with interest.

B&O? Fo rizzle?

Still rocking out my Nokia (3210 or whatever it is). It's great, hasn't let me down yet. I've tried Sony Ericsson before, fucking hated it - but then again, it was only one model. Marvie's Motorola shits us both to tears.

FunkyJ · Post by **FunkyJ** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 11:17 am

I've got a Nokia N73.

Pretty tidy phone, and because it's an older model you can pick them up pretty cheap.

Fents, The Nokia 6500 classic would be your best choice I think.

before I decided on iPhone I was pretty set on the 6500.

I reckon they are the best phone on the aussie market.

don't know about that... don't need subscribed internet because I'm always around wifi or a computer... wouldn't bother with it i dont think. And 2.5 is fine enough ^_^

Yeah don't know what I was on about there...

Unfortunatley Fents, and I'm being serious... the iPhones won't be sold at $500 for a while, unless you get them second hand. The currency conversion makes a cost of $500 aud for the 8g, then there's shipping and the time it takes to crack the phones, and learn how to crack them (usually takes hours) so it's not really worth it. will definately let you know when they're that cheap though

will be interested to see the price of iphones when they are released in aus, since the lock clearly hasn't worked they may start charging more.

not that simple young hug. The newer release phones that come out always have to be recracked, then if you brick them, which is easy (mine has been bricked various times while updating firmware) then you need at least a little bit of computer literacy to get it working again. May take <2 mins for you, but mainly because you are an uber puter nerd

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 4:58 pm

doesn't "bricking" imply an irrecoverable problem??

oh yes it is that simple young charlotte.

case study #1

sold 1.1.2 iphone to man.
man updates iphone to 1.1.4 almost immediately
man attempts to crack iphone himself using undisclosed methods
dead iphone
huge is given iphone to fix
huge downloads ziphone
huge presses the Unlock, Jailbreak & activate button
working iphone on latest firmware in less than 2 mins.

ADD_Boy · Post by **ADD_Boy** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 6:11 pm

wats all this about jail breaks and stuff?

What happens once u j.break it? Invalid warranty?

I assume it also applies to i-pod touches.

cha_chaos · Post by **cha_chaos** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 6:25 pm

hug is a FREAK!!!

hahaha. with ziphone if it's out of the box 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 then you're going to be ok
but if it's already been cracked and you try to upgrade it, then things can get hairy

but i will send mine to you when it needs its upgrade to 2.0, since you are the guru

Post by **breaksRbest** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 6:29 pm

3G 'no need to crack' iPhones FTW!!

I can wait till they come out

I had my american iphone unlocked to 1.1.4 and it flys. I love it, and with third party app development, the only thing that's left for the iphone is nav.

I got one of these recently: http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_2630-1973.php

Sick phone, and cheap too...

Ultra thin (10mm!), minimal bells and whistles except the basics (plenty of memory, bluetooth, mp3 rightones, long battery life)

Post by **system** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 6:26 pm

are any of the 5 handsets for you, fentwah?

K850i won in the end, huge battery life, big rating on gsmarena and a camera to boot. Orderd 8 last week. Switched from optus to Telstra Next G too.
