Need cellphone recommendations
I went and lost my cell yesterday and I'm trying to find a new cell to buy in case I don't get my old back.

My old was Samsung Z300 and I liked it a lot for its good audio quality and volume control buttons. Those are important to me as I'm hearing impaired. The Z300 was expensive though and I was hoping I could get off cheaper this time.

So, any cells out there you can recommend?

Nokia N11

Kinda old, but does the job nonetheless with a decent screen that's easy on the eyes

Samsung D 900 or D 900i.

I have the D 900 and it's better then my Sony Ericsson W 850, but i suggest the D 900i, 'cause
it's slightly better then the D 900.

Although a bit older now, it's still one of the better cellphones.
It also should available at a reasonable price.

Re: Need cellphone recommendations
Samsung D900i got me interested. It seems to be better than average quality basic phone, which just about fits my needs.

One of my friends at my workplace has bought a new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. The touchscreen is nifty and it has WLAN and GPS among other things. Features that I won't be needing daily, or even monthly but very useful once there's need for them. The price though is almost three times as much as D900i. Not only that but the Nokia is very new, who knows what bugs it has. Durability of the 5800 is yet another question.

It's a tough decision. To get a cheaper D900i with the basic features. Or to get 5800 with nifty features that may be useful, but rarely. The GPS especially has me interested, at least I would have access to GPS should I need it.


Edit: On my way home from work I decided to get the 5800. What the heck, shouldn't at least disappoint as far as features go.

Whatever you do don't get motorola.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
