Help a Noob Decide on a Nokia Phone

[sweetmisery]

I aint that much into cellphones nor am a collector. But I decide to finally change my old phone. The past 2 phones were Nokia... And I still havent decided this time around, but want to see whats good...

Basically I dont need a high end camera, mp3 player since I got them as seperate gadgets... but I want a very good one of course...

Here is a breakdown of what Im looking for:
1. Good mp3 player
2. Good camera/resolution
3. slick design
4. upgradable or even big built in space
5. Good features, like different callers can have different ringtones(mp3s), speakerphones, etc...
6. price is ok. like $500...

Again, Im not looking for a high end one... Just very good ones...
THANKS! Hope anyone can help me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're willing to pay anywhere between $300-$500 on a Nokia phone, that would be the high end one.

Oh ok... Well I saw N93 here in the Philippines, its like $600... I guess its due to tax and whatnot. And the price is always higher here when it comes to gadgets...

So anything below N93, whats a good choice?

N73 is the most obvious best choice, though I'm slightly confused by your post:

You say you don't need a good camera or mp3 player, as you already have them as separate gadgets, but then those are the first two things you list.

N73 or N80 is going to be your best bet.

N73 has an awesome camera and is smaller, better screen (imo)

N80 has a decent camera, but also has WiFi (some countries, unlimited cellular data is expensive)

I've owned both so any other questions you have I can answer.

Both have the same UI so the same MP3 software and all that jazz.

I personally thought the N80 was alot "cooler" looking, specially in black, but the N73 is sleeker.

Both have upgradable memory, as well as decent built-in memory.

Sorry to confuse you. I do want a good one, just none of those high end stuffs. Say 1-10(10 best), I would settle for 7 atleast.

THANKS though!

Would you prefer a smartphone or a "normal" phone? I.e. would you want to install your own applications on it or would you probably not bother with all that?

Go with an N90. Last year at this time it was the high end phone but with the releases of the all the various other N series phones it falls into your category of a "7" rating...and if your in the PI you should be able to find one for cheap <$500.00. Personally, if your willing to spend $500.00 then spend a lil more and go with an N73.

yea, ill go with an N73, how much do those cost in the PI?? my only choices for cingular is the N80 and N73

[sweetmisery]

I think N73 is $500+. OK say if I can use credit card for N93($60 a month for 12 months), is it worth it IYO?

[ace587]

if ur gnna use all the features heavily, then yea. hm $500 in the PI?, hmm same as ebay prices, ill buy one on ebay instead
