What phone do I buy next???

[Guest Russell@home]

Hi all,

Here's my problem. I have an E200 & I am now out of contract, I want a new toy (sorry I mean phone!) but whiat do I go for?

I was thinking about the M2000 but then I thought it's a bit on the big side, but how cool to have wifi on your phone?.

Then I saw the Sanyo S750 (I know it's not a smartphone) but after playing with it for a bit I realised how much I like smartphones & do I really need 3G.

Hey, what about the C500? It looks a bit boring & doesn't support voice dialling but if it's as good as everyone says it is maybe it's worth a look.

I'm still undecided, so what does everyone think I should do?

No time for a detailed reply, but C500 every time :)

Apart from the time you consider a PPC device and have a look at the i-Mate Jam in MoDaCo shop.... :wink:

[Guest lighthouse82]

don't forget, you can get a SD&WiFi card for the Jam for around £80.

for me, it's a tight toss-up between the C500 and the Jam. although since i'd get much better value on a new contract rather than an early upgrade, and if you want a new contract you can only keep your number by going to a different network i may have to abandon orange for someone else. did someone say t-mobile mda compact??

The C500 does support voice dialing and IMHO is a cracking little phone.

What are the differences between the E200 & C500?

Sorry again for hurried reply, but the C500 has everything the E200 could do in a smaller, lighter, sexier shell. Its also far more stable and most of the E200 bugs have gone.

[Guest Eldar2k]

Get the C500! There is no better phone at the moment....

[Guest barrybryce]

I think you've asked at Biased Opinions 'R' Us - but the C500 is super duper. Much better than the E200, and, it works!

Does the C500 load up/shut down quicker than the E200? I have had a load of problems with making & receiving calls on the E200 & the only way round it is to switch the phone off & on which takes forever.

Strange duplicate post!

Again hurried, but basically yes. Everything is faster and more stable , so you 'll not need to reboot so often, if at all.

Check out iMenu on this forum / Aifagev's site for a quick reboot.
