Selection of a Smartphone

[Guest axborn]

Hi,

I've been searching for a SmartPhone (PDA or whatever...) for a few weeks now and I haven't really found anything that I like AND I could afford. Well, the main problem is that I can't and don't want to spend much money on a phone (even when it's super effin cool and smart...). Now I have Nokia N70 and it's an awesome phone but now I want something. I will sell Nokia N70 (let's say it's 200-300$) and add some money from my self for the new one.

I got interested in SP becouse I want to do more than call and write messages. I like movies, especially anime, music so I need more space, surfing the net is essential. While searching for my THE ONE I found that it must have few features:

Essential - BIG screen, lots of space AND/or MicroSD (any other similar mem card) slot.

Not necesary but a big advantage - sliding QWERTY keyboard (like XPERSIA X1, HTC Kaiser, Wing), 3.5 audio jack, Wi-Fi, GPS, Touchscreen, camera (everyone needs it but who uses it?).

Size doesn't really matter becouse curently I'm using a man purse or what ever that thing is called, my hands and fingers are small so I won't complain about small buttons. Even if I'm living in the worlds biggest village I know how to use internet so supposedly I will be buying my THE ONE from eBay or if I find something good at my place.

Are there any variants for me or my cretearias are too high with my micro-vallet?

I've been reading some articles which stated that Symbian is better than WindowsMobile (atleast older versions), is it true? (please don't stone me to death by asking such a ridiculous question plzkthxbai)

I would argue that Symbian is not better but when it works it works ok.

As for looking on ebay it's a matter of what bargain you find at the time, but be careful though as there are a few scammers out there that will take your money and run without you ever seeing the phone you think you have bought. saying that you van get some good bargains, just check the sellers rating and location first.
