Buying a phone finally!

By Sahil Gupta | Oct 6, 2008

So I am looking for a phone. A phone which should have:

  • Large screen
  • Querty keyboard
  • Good web browsing and email

Basically a smart phone but should be stylish also. In last 4-5 weeks I have remained nothing but confused, the last phone and I bought was Nokia 6630, which also the phone I am currently using and which was also my very first phone. It’s been two years and now I am feeling the need of it.

I did shortlist some nice ones few weeks ago:

  • N95 - No Querty, huh!
  • N96 - No Querty, huh!
  • iPhone - Discussed with Abhishek, I am waiting for him to buy it first. :P
  • E71 - Saw it on Mani Karthik’s blog
  • E61i - Recommended by Shashank

So N95 and N95 were not for me because traditional dial pads are pretty lame these days, who uses it? we have phonebook. At this time, I seem to be going with iPhone because of its bigger screen than E71 and E61i and also for better web browsing experience, but you never know.

Nokia is also launching its iPhone rip-off called Nokia Tube. Let’s see. Any recommendations?

    Sahil, I would not recommend the iPhone, cos it’s just a piece of fancy at the moment. 3G - do you have it where you are living?
    Big screen - yes. If it’s web browsing and email, go for a smart phone. I dont want to recommend that E 71 or you may think I’m trying to influence you. :D

    Cheers!

    i would recommend E71 for its solid battery life .

    i m using both iphone and e71 and e71 is kick ass.

    i was using e61i before and it sucked like hell.. damn slow .. e71 is fast and lasts long..

    iphone 1st gen battery is crap .. 3g is too expensive and not worth the big bucks

    Wait for a month or 2 and then get the XPERIA, you get all the features you wanted on a big screen. But beware it would be pricey!
