Any techies here?
I'm thinking of buying a new phone later this year because my Nokia 3660's lack of RAM is really starting to piss me off. I've accumulated around 3000+ messages in one folder and the 3660 crashes whenever I even attempt to delete them. Well yeah, my fault for storing that many messages... but come on.
So basically, I'm looking for a smartphone/PDA-Phone with good multimedia, productivity (apps for editing MS office files and opening PDFs), and connectivity features. A good camera and a full QWERTY keyboard are big pluses for me too. Phone size and weight are are irrelevant. The bigger the screen and the keys, the better.
So far, I'm interested in the following:
1. Nokia N95 & Nokia E90 - Both have pretty much everything I could ask for. The N95 has an awesome camera but the E90 has an awesome screen and keyboard. Unfortunately, both are really expensive. -_- (Php40,000+ unlocked)
2. Nokia E61i - The camera and music features aren't so good, but it has everything else I'm looking for. It's a bit more affordable too at somewhere below Php20,000 when unlocked.
3. Sony Ericsson W810 - The camera and music features are really good but it lacks the other features I'm looking for.
4. Nokia N73 - Great camera and music features and a viewer for MS office files and PDFs but no Wireless LAN. Within budget though. It's probably a toss-up between this and the E61i for me...
5. Nokia N80 - It's a bit better than the N73 because of Wi-Fi but with an inferior camera. Its price is good too but with the N95 out, this one just just pales in comparison.
6. Sony Ericsson P990i - Great camera and music player, I saw this phone and found out that it does pretty much everything I want. I also found out that its original price has really dropped. Right now, the only thing keeping me from finally deciding on buying this one is that it looks like shit.
Conclusion: Yeah, I'm looking for a phone that can do it all. Unfortunately, the phones that can do everything are quite expensive.
Should I just wait it out until better options come along? Or does anyone know of cheaper alternatives?
