Guest some8 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Posted November 30, 2005 Hi all. I just found out about this forum and what a great place this is! I think this forum is one of the most unbiased and with very informative stuff. Top notch! :) btw, i'm looking around to replace my old kyocera 7135. I was quite happy with 7135 except the phone was slow. Like input text has lags and it doesn't output as fast as I write on the screen, which was frustrating. I'm thinking about between these three. 1.SPV E200/ Qtek 8080 / Xphone / HTC Voyager etc.(god a device can't have enough name?) 2.Sony Ericsson P900 3.Nokia 3230 I'm looking for a device can deliver following needs. 0.Fast, responsive phone. Not much of an browsing through the menu but it needs to have no lags for text input. Be it keypad, touch screen or whatever, it needs to be responsive. 1.PIM function. To do tasking. 2.Reading ebooks. IMPORTANT!! 3.Vewing pics. 4.plays smooth, full frame movies without hiccups or lags etc. 5.occasional gaming. Console emulation such as NES or SNES, megadrive/genesis would be nice but not necessary. I'm quite happy with java games or others specificaly designed for the device/os. 5.and of course general phone usage such as SMS texting, making phone calls and organising contacts/address book. Obviously it needs to have good reception, good loud speaker to hear rings on the busy street, can be used as alarm clock and as such. I quite like P900 for sake of its large screen, which would be good for reading ebooks but I read that writing on the screen is so slow and laggy also screen is really dim. I need a phone need to be viewable under direct sun light. E200 seems good phone but if I'm correct it has only 2.2inch screen. Wouldn't it be too small for reading ebooks on it? And havn't found anything about its text input speed/lags yet. I quite like its one-hand-operability. For nokia 3230, well I never have any exprience with nokia phones so generaly I'm blank. All I know is that it uses Symbian OS and I have no exprience about it. I own Ipaq 3800 series(old, I know) so I'm quite used to Windows pocket pc platform, eventhough E200 is Windows smartphone os, I think they would be pretty similar? I wouldn't mind Palm os based smartphone such as Treo 650, only if it were cheaper. It is too darn expensive, even for second hand ones. :D I'm not sure about treo 600 as its screen is really inferior than all of above devices. I have spent many hours/days searching and reading info about above devices from various users but the more I read, the more I get confused!! There were so much different debate and no one actualy compared those 3 devices side by side. Therefore I decided it might be appropraite to ask for help on my topic. Thank you.
