Hi everyone,

Can any of you expert phone users help me to decide what phone I should get ?

I am using the first generation of City Fido - Toronto, "Talk til your brain hurt" package.

With the new Blackberry service being offered by Fido as of March of this year, I am looking for a new phone that allows me to send and receive emails on the go, as well as to replace my MPX-220. (Had it for 2 years now, and never get the internet / MSN to work on Fido network !)

Here are my deciding factors:

Nokia:

E61:
- Unlocked
- Not sure if it can be configured to use all its features on Fido
- Warranty may be an issue

E62:
- Its a Fido device, so the CSRs can help me to configure it. (I hope)
- No WiFi because Fido disabled it.
- Warranty is NOT an issue because Fido will at least guarantee for a year.
- I can always call Fido *611 for technical support

Blackberry Pearl (Unlocked):

- Its a RIM, so the BB feature will work properly. (I think ?)
- Not sure if it can be configured on the Fido network, BB service though
- It has a camera built in and the phone looks slim and cool
- Warranty maybe an issue

TyTN (Unlocked):

- No BB feature.
- Not sure if it can be configured on Fido network to receive emails. (POP)
- I like the touch screen feature. I can replace my Palm m505 with it.
- Warranty maybe an issue.

I am not an advance user and I don't really know how to configure the phone from the articles on this site. I tried with my MPX-220 for the past two years but with no success. I ended up using it just for phone, calendar and to-do list.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Cheers !

If you wait a bit, the E61i will be out soon.

Thanks. I guess that's from Nokia ?

I'll check it out.

Hey Yash,

I looked up the E61i and it sure looks good ! The only difference is that E61 has 75mb of onboard memory and E61i has only 50mb.

I also like the 2.0 meg pixel built-in Camera in the E61i.

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I'll definately wait.

Cheers !
