Ferret Master Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi, I've had my Nokia 6230i for a couple of years now and I desperately need to upgrade it as it is getting very slow, the battery charge doesn't last very long anymore and there are phones with much better cameras on the market now. I use my phone alot for taking pictures out shooting or ferreting and out with my friends so a good camera is essential. I would want it on pay as you go as I don't really spend enough on credit to justify a contract. Now the N73 has a 3.2 mp camera and the usual atributes of a Nokia. (I'm brand bias as I have failed to destroy 2 previous Nokias which means they seem to be well made) Would anyone reccomend a similar or even a completely different mobile? I'm no good with this sort of thing so any feedback will be appreciated. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 We're all Sony Eriksson fans in this house, any of the K800i, K850i, k810i range are fantastic. Great cameras on them and quite tough (I keep dropping mine) The new K850i, has a 5mp camera, I think, not that there's much wrong with the pictures taken on the older ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_HMR Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Definately get a sony eircsson but if you want to take pictures make sure you get one with auto focus dont worry about megapixels the k800i is a brilliant phone only other one springs to mind is the samsung u600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caragh Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 The N73 is an amazing phone had mine about a year no problems at all mind you it is running the latest software which btw is easy to update. The camera is awsome 7x5 prints are as good as my nikon 6mp camera which shocked me makes you wonder how it does it seeing as the file sizes are so small. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul65 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I've had poor reception on every Sony phone I've had and excellent reception on every Nokia. I like the Sony interface better but when it comes down to it I don't want to be standing on pile of books in the spare bedroom trying to get a signal. In marginal signal areas I've found Nokia to be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1966 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have the k810iI think Sony Ericsson have pretty much wiped Nokia of the map...

nav54 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 samsung u600 is great can take a lot of getting used to though as I had a nolia previous or the new samsung out with the 5 megapixel camera might be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 we live in a poorish reception area and I had to change my samsung for a nokia as it was absolutely useless, no recetion at all yet the nokia is fine all round the house. I'v a friend with the new one and his is the same when he's round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
