Which phone should I get?

Ok, I'm looking to a get a new phone. My budget is between 400 and 500 CAD (including taxes). I will be using this phone with the Rogers network, so phones locked to rogers or unlocked phones are a must. Phones must be brand new. Looking for 1)Loud earpiece 2)good looking phone 3)fast/solid (few bugs) interface 4)a good feature set. Phones that I've considered so far are the Nokia 6270, Nokia 6682, and the SE w800i. Not really interested in the v3 razr phones as I see so many ppl have them. I really don't have a preference as to what type of phone (slider,flip,candybar) it is, but it's gotta be durable. Bonuses:Good camera, big screen, external storage. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I've tried 2 out of the 3 phones you've listed.

The w800 is good if you want it as a camera and mp3 player. As for its actual function as a phone, look elsewhere. Very poof RF. The 6270 was a great phone. Except for the fact that the phone feels a bit cheap, almost like its not worth its price tag. I also tried the Nokia 6630, which is pretty much the same as the 6682. Good phone.

The camera was decent, screen was big and there was external storage, although it was DV RS-MMC, which are only available on Ebay..

You could also take a look at the D600 if you were interested in the 6270. Pretty much the same feature set.

Hope this helps you

Yeah I agree you should take a look at the D600 if you like sliders like the 6270. Personally I would choose the D600 if I was you since the D600 is QUADBAND which has the 850Mhz Band that ROGERS uses (doesn't ROGERS use the 850Mhz Band?) LOL Yeah anyways I recommend the Samsung D600

Razr is a bad phone.
