Lol! A nokia 7250i got passed down from my bro to my sis to me. I think somone... chewed it along the way ( ) but it worked well for a very long time, even though the back dropped off here and there. My 6300 has lots of scratches but it seems to take kocks well. I had a crappy motorola once (L6 ) which I have chucked around, but it didnt damage it, and I think it's because it was a thin, tightly packed design, rather than being bulky or fussy, thats why I'm thinking the nokia 6500 will be the same.

Does anyone have the SE w890i & can tell me what the build quality is like?

Anyone ever owned both a nokia and a samsung and likes samsung better, or equally particularly in terms of navigation and usability? I hate when you have to go through more steps to send a text (motorola).

Where does SE come into this equation?


I'm so confused!

samsungs are my fave. ive had every type of phone. but i guess my opinions are sorta biased because samsung was my first, and i got used to it. so when i used other phones it got kinda confusing.

majority of people will tell you to go nokia though, i think.

like i said i think im just accustomed to them. i like the setup, and the texting (where the space is for example versus motorolas or nokias..). i just get confused when i use a non-samsung.

shahrukh: n95 is SPECTACULAR. . but i dont get ur qwerty keyboard question

He's asking for an accessory. As in, those qwerty keyboards you can attach to a Palm or other smartphones and some cells.

I don't know what the craze about blackberrys are. I was waiting at the sprint store and got to try one, and it didn't seem all that great. no touch screen, and you had to scroll to get to everything. am I missing what it's best features are (besides push email)?

I've got the palm centro......a palm pilot designed for the teeny bopper generation :giggle giggle: The features are awesome though: touchscreen, internet, ms office documents, weather, traffic, 4 gb mp3/video player, tons of free software on the net, 1 megapixel camera/camcorder, small, and pretty durable.

and with rebates, only cost $25 with $30/month unlimited data/text messages with 500 minutes (SERO plan). only drawbacks are the small keyboard, cheap plastic stylus, and outdated palm OS.

[IbnMardhiyah]

The main attraction factors about Blackberrys have always been two:

a) One-handed operation
b) Push technology, when checking emails. Instead of the unit querying the server to see if there is anything new in your inbox, the server pushes it out to your unit as soon as it comes in.
