Phones

[sobrique]

This weekend went fairly well. Back to visit the family, and just chill a bit really.
Kinda nice. Took my parents out for a meal, (belated fathers day), and ... well read a lot of Peter F. Hamilton's "Pandoras star".

Also bimbled into the vodafone shop to see what upgrades they do. No real interest in switching provider, but I think a new handset is in order.

Well, the phone selection has diminished down to:
The Sony Ericsson K750i
An Ericsson, which supports Float's mobile agent has memory expansion and 2Megapixel camera.

The Nokia 6680
3G phone. Probably will cost (about £40-100, depending on what contract tweaks I go for) for upgrade. Has video and a 1.3Megapixel camera. Does anyone have experience of 3G content? e.g. is there any point at all, assuming I'm not going to be using video calls? (apart from maybe once or twice for a laff)

And the Motorola RAZR V3.
Like the man said. Lovely hardware, crap software. But the hardware really is rather lovely, that metal casing is just ...

Sigh, decisions decisions.

Meh. I have to agree. :)I love my V3, but I use it for calling, not for much else!

So I'd go with the Nokia, they're solid, reliable and nice. :)

I just like my cool looking 'phone. :D And the USB charging. :)

Yeah, the Nokia sucks too much power to be charged by USB, there are Nokia USB chargers out there but they just take the power from the USB bus and pass it through to the phone... the 6680 will draw slightly more than that and the cable won't tell the computer how much power it needs which could, in some situations, cause nastyness and break USB on the computer... I wouldn't want to change my Nokia from my Powerbook :(

Having said that, my BlackBerries have USB charging and it IS a super-cool feature.
