Sony Ericsson T650 Question

Hey guys,

I was looking in to purchasing a T650... I love the way it looks, and I currently have a Nokia 6300, so I am a candybar form factor kind of guy. The T650 would be a nice step up because it has the 3.2 MP camera with flash, whereas the 6300 only has a 2 MP camera and no flash. I am also getting frustrated with the 6300's battery life (it sucks!) and am more drawn towards SE.

Anyways, my question is: Would it be foolish of me to get this phone considering it is triband 900/1800/1900 and does not seem to support 850 frequency? I am with Fido/Rogers in Canada, and I believe they use 850.

Can someone who knows more about the Rogers network and the 850 frequency step in and offer some advice please?

Thanks!

hey i have a T650 and looking to sell it, PM me if interested
but to help ur question. i use fido and i have no problem with receptions

Triband does make a difference compared to quadbnd on Rogers/Fido, but as long as you're in urban areas, it should be fine. I just find it difficult to find reception in places with a lot trees surrounding me. If you're fine with that, then go for it. SE makes phones with great reception anyways.

@wasabi-boi Your T650 is overpriced. I can easily get a new one for $320. If I search a bit, I can probabl get one for $300 with 1GB stick

If you have a Green T650i and in GVA, then I'm up for a negotiation.

noooooope, i have midnight blue and i live in GTA =]

I'm gonna go some more research into this triband business, but I'm just afraid if will mess up my reception compared to quadband... the last thing I need is having black spots around town with no reception.

Thats one reason why I'm hesitant to get the T650. If you're looking for style phones, why not take a look at the S500? Its quadband.

Posted by: wasabi-boi

because the key pad for the S500 has had complaints of cracking just like the W580i...also the S500i & W580i...look just alike might as well get the W580i from rogers lol

plus, i want a 3.2 MP camera... not interested in another 2 MP

You should probably be asking this question in the Rogers forum.

OR asking people who aren't just trying to sell their T650 to you...
