Wei, Dai Lou ar, cool doesn't always mean BEST 1 u know?
You must consider the prize also, and think about it will become the most popular 1 !!!
Furthermore, it will lure you to buy it also 1.... :p

Think and consider all factors b4 u come out with a model!!!

mm ? wot prize ? blur ?

But before that, I wanna ask something first!~
What do these words mean... :D :D

1. symbian
2. user friendly
3. higher ends
4. end user
5. 3g
6. feature wise

My intepretation:
2. Better quality
4. Consumers, like us
6. Same as: features

Hey cyberkid, u know what, u sucks big time la
Best can be best from a lot of aspect!
From what we perceived from your msg earlier, shouldn't it be BEST SPECS
There are others like BEST PRICE, BEST WEIGHT, BEST AFFORDABILITY, BEST COLOUR SCREEN, BEST CAMERA, BEST INTERFACE etc etc
So why can't i suggest xda ii as my candidate, siapa tahu u so poor until u cannot even consider it!?!

So think and specify before u even ask a question
Wan to ask, got replied and kena back ppl
No brainer

mm ? wot prize ? blur ?

The hp's price lah!
Means consider our wallet !!!
Murah lagi besar 1!

Ok Ok!~
Sorry about tht..i was juz joking coz u said no need 2 debate anymore mah...seems u r very angry.. :D :D sorry!
I will take ur choice into consideration...
But then, any other good models u think will become the best models, primarily not PDA + phone models...suggest some? Thanks..... Cheers

ok, sorry for the statement i'd made also, did over reacted a little
I just knew that at that time i kena tembak only

Anyway,
For a person with monthly income >10k, xda ii is the ideal phone if he uses all the features. For a person with monthly income <2k, perhaps camera phones at less than 1k is ideal for them
so maybe u will like to state your budget and then discuss what is the best model,/ best specs phone u can get at that price

"Beauty is in the eyes of the Beholder".
Everyone has their own favorite phone, I've seen rich buggers who can afford a Toyota Lexus CASH but still prefers to use "3310".
I've also seen teachers who're still stuck to Sagem Phones because they said they're 'reliable'.
And more often than not, primary students are using better than average phones like Samsung Blue-I and 8250..
There is no "BEST" because the "BEST HAS YET TO COME"
Just best selling phone of they year lor....

there are also plenty of high skool girls using 7250i's around...hehehe

for now (today) more features generally means a bigger phone. I'd wait and see whether a really chun phone comes out with every feature I need/want and more :D

I think is below RM 1500 guah~
coz now most of the good phones >1k...

;) Anyone can provide info/stat about which phone(s) is(are) the most popular in Malaysia for 2003?

Some magazines say is P800...

But before that, I wanna ask something first!~
What do these words mean... :D :D

1. symbian
2. user friendly
3. higher ends
4. end user
5. 3g
6. feature wise

1. symbian = One type of operating system (software) for cellular phone.
2. user friendly = easy to use / handle
3. higher end (high end) = for advance user
4. end user = customer or user that u pay for the product.
5. 3G = support vision that can view the other side of opponent that u talk to
6. feature wise = many features / function

Ur 1.5k budget very hard to choose best phone la, for me i'll go for SE P900

tak ada phone most popular in m'sia la, define popular? most appreciated? highest sale? best feedback?popular is so subjective
Anyway for RM1.5k, i will recommend Nokia 3650 for smartphone, E365 or T610 for normal camera phone, or the Z600 or T630 at around rm1.7k for better screen display camera phone

Popular should be measured in Sales lah....

then for sure is lower end phones
few months back it was Nokia 2100 and Sony Ericsson T100
now dunno

the best phone is the the phone in everyone's pocket right??live with what u have

tak ada phone most popular in m'sia la, define popular? most appreciated? highest sale? best feedback?popular is so subjective
Anyway for RM1.5k, i will recommend Nokia 3650 for smartphone, E365 or T610 for normal camera phone, or the Z600 or T630 at around rm1.7k for better screen display camera phone

When will be the T630 released in M'sia? Why u know the price is RM 1.7k? :D :D

And does T630 have a better camera resolution compared to T610(not screen display!) ???? :rolleyes:

Lastly, is it true that Sony Ericsson will only release itz T630 only for 2004 ? (i mean will the company release a T650 or T700 in the year 2004?) :( I think all the new models of SE will only be released at the starting of the year right yeah and no new models at the midyear....correct?

Nokia 3310 was the most popular phones!!!!!!

cyberkid, think should be around 1.7k, coz almost everyone of the midrange phone intro price was around 1.7k
eg T610, Z600, T68i, T68 when they were launch
about the camera quality, not sure man, just know that screen is better
BTW, the z600 was launched 3rd quarter 2003, so phone release not really constrain to the beginnin of every year
:)

Nokia 3310 was the most popular phones!!!!!!

5110 and 3210 were also hot models at THAT time...
3310 caught on cos it looked good (like 6210) and was simple to use a la 3210

But before that, I wanna ask something first!~
What do these words mean... :D :D

1. symbian
2. user friendly
3. higher ends
4. end user
5. 3g
6. feature wise

Symbian is an operating system like windows. Just different brand. Found only in mobile products like pda and phones. Currently use widely by SonyEricsson.

Higher ends = high ends, means things that are very high tech which means high priced as well. The O2 XDA is a very high end product.

End user is you and me. SonyEricsson or O2 are the manufacturers and we are the END USERS.

3G is a telecommunication system. Like GSM, GPRS, CDMA, W-CDMA. 3Gis not to be expected soon.

what do you mean feature wise? Feature wise la... " Feature wise of this phone......"

banyew, good explanation
anyway welcome to the forum
:>

Hey
Any Digi users here?
I saw on newspaper few days ago tht Digi is offering a few phones ...
Ouch god...the postpaid is offering Sony Ericsson T610 for RM 900++ only...
Is it real? Why so cheap ? (as i know, the T-choice's is about RM 1300 now :o )

What is postpaid ? hehe, sorry i am a mobile beginner...

And what is Sub-Line ?

Thanks 2 those who provide me clear information about this..... :D :D

Post paid = registered line, unlike the prepaid, prepaid u pay and then use, postpaid u use, then the bill comes to u

Sup line is like another registered line sub under a mother /principal line, let's say ur mom has a registered digi line,(principal line) u registered another line under her and urs are called sup(supplementary) line the bills and everything goes to your mom's biling address, u need ur mom authourization for any services u want to activated

As for why the T610 is cheap, there's a 1 year contract with digi in order to get that discount for mobile phones, so u pay the access fees every month for minimum 1 year to maintain the line, let's say digi charge rm30(forgot the acutial amount) a month access fee only, u do the math, it eventually still comes up to about the same amount of a new phone

Furthermore i had heard that my fren's fren bought a T610 with contract with digi, when he got the set, there is a big 'T' on the housing itself, and aT-Mbile word underneath, means it's imported parallelly and not warrantied by T. Choice or Sony Ericsson, u will have to dig ur pocket for cash everytime u upgrade the firmware and cost u a bomb if anything goes wrong
Anyway an AP set T610 is roughly about RM1100 :)

Post paid = registered line, unlike the prepaid, prepaid u pay and then use, postpaid u use, then the bill comes to u

Sup line is like another registered line sub under a mother /principal line, let's say ur mom has a registered digi line,(principal line) u registered another line under her and urs are called sup(supplementary) line the bills and everything goes to your mom's biling address, u need ur mom authourization for any services u want to activated

1. Register sup line is like register a new line right?
2. Say monthly charge for principal line is RM 30, then sup-line how much? Another RM30? :rolleyes:
3. If i buy the phone from digi for Rm900++, then i close the line and use other prepaid eg maxis...can like this arr? :D

1. Yes, but under ur principal line's name
2. I dun think principal line is that cheap, maybe sup line another rm10 cheaper for monthly fees
3. Refer to my preious post, digi is not stupid la, actually yes u can terminate the line but u will have to pay a full year's access fee even though u will not be using it anymore

doesnt like sub line. the monthly access fee for it is under "promotional rate" they may increase as they like. fishy ...

1. Yes, but under ur principal line's name
2. I dun think principal line is that cheap, maybe sup line another rm10 cheaper for monthly fees
3. Refer to my preious post, digi is not stupid la, actually yes u can terminate the line but u will have to pay a full year's access fee even though u will not be using it anymore

Eh, like that lagi baik no need 2 buy from Digi liao lah.. sien niah :mad:
all same same expensive niah...
haih..i also dunno which 1 to buy also....good features then expensive
cheap price then shit features...

Veon, u r using wht phone?

:> :> :> :> :>

if cheap price then good features then we all no need headache liao
just sold my 3650, very good phone for it's price, but just a little bulky and keypad design not good, but feature wise, it is packed and only RM1.35k for avaxx set
Now using back my old trusty Sony Ericsson T68i, coz wanna use a smaller phone with my ipaq, my pants nearly dropped down when one of my pocket has an IPAQ and the other with 3650
:)

hahaha... wow u r really a handphone nerd..
how come u need so many handphones? :D

u sell handphones? anyway, is it selling handphone is very profitable?
now we can see the stalls of mobile everywhere in Penang..
but i think tht once the sector has too many business competetors, it is no more lucrative. . .

I think nokia now is scratching their minds coz there are too many new born mobile company..like the sharp..and funny funny company we dun even heard b4

Undeniably, T610 is the king of mobile world in 2003. :o
And I can predict in year 2004, the most popular phone will falls to Nokia 6230
It has many functions, large memory pool and good camera resoln.
One and only one of its weak point is the outlook could be very ugly + kolot.. not mesmerising enough.. :mad:

I think it (Nokia 6230) will beat the coming Sony Ericsson T630 like hell, coz T630 is not improving neither on its functions nor on its camera resolution...

One more thing is SE's P900 is too bulky and clumsy and won't get consumers' to account for it.........And i wanna ask somthing....
Why all the good mobile phones(including smart phone) have "SHOCKING UGLY" outlooks?
Is it a marketing strategy? They are "forcing" you to buy it now..... so that in future, there will be nicer, cooler 1...and will attract the "ugly" mobile owner to buy the new one? :eek:

Conclusively, I can't see any other phone other than Nokia&SE 's phone that has good future...
But by next year(2004), Nokia will be the final winner...(although i am a SE supporter) ***sigh***
:( :(

eh buddy, u dun call a person who only owns two mobile phone a mobile seller
i have frens who owns more than 4 handphones at a time, keeekeee, nelson, davidz etc, they are the kings
Anyway i am in research field rather than in business, so mobile phone for me is to contact, organise and online only
when u use a smartphone, u will know how big the difference is between a normal phone and a smartphone, design wise the T610 wins hands down, but feature wise, T610 is not even near to a what a smartphone can do

Yeah,u are right veon! I have 3 phone right now...and i'm not a mabile seller!!

hmm... 3 phones for ucu...wat models leh? hehe
i got a few current models and lots of junk (3310 and older ... nonit to say kua)

The best handsets from the respective manufacturers are:
Sony Ericsson: T630 OR P900(High end)
Nokia: 6230 OR 6600(High end)
Motorola: It was supposed to be the V600 but at the moment it's probably the E365.
Sendo: SendoX
LG: VX6000(or is it VX600?)
Samsung: E700(with OLED display)
Sharp: GX20(with QVGA display)
Pls. remember that the handsets named above are the ones which are either already available or will be available in a few months. Note that after 6 months, none of these phones will be on this list coz it's the upcoming T650/T660 from SE which will CRUSH all the competition.

It looks like ur 'best' in your last post was in term of specs afterall

Next time do more research in the field before u give any comments or even b4 u ask a question
Be reminded!! Price doesnt interfere with the term 'best specs' . 'Most popular phone' does not have to have top of the range functions

So i really dunno what the crap u are talking the whole while, becoz:
1st,u wan best specs, i suggested best spec phone and u say it's not the best becoz of the price. Then suddenly out of nowhere ur best specs turned into 'most popular'
2ndly, we all suggested most popular (in terms of sale), then now u turn back to best specs
3rdly, after ur first few posts of saying best specs phone with high price tag does not qualify to be the best phone , then u listed all the overpriced phones with medium to high end specs only......

So make sure u know what u want to ask, u are making us turning round and round with ur craps

Anyway, In terms of specs, not one can beat the xda ii now
and i doubt the T650 or T660 will
Affordability is another thing

Just in case ur BEST refers to a balance of price, features and practicality, then let me round it up for u:
The BEST phone for everyone differs, it depends on what every individual needs:
For a businessman with lots of records to do, needs connection to internet anywhere he goes, presentation, paperworketc etc, maybe the xda ii is BEST for him, RM3.4k is nothing to him since the xda ii helps him to earn another RM100k or RM1m, and yet it makes his business discussion or transaction easier,
For some average non techie person who just uses the phone to call, maybe a simple colour screen less than RM500 is the BEST for him since better specs does not mean more convenient for him.
For your case, most probably a student, think it out urself and see what u need most in a phone.


Everyone's phone is the best, it's just a matter of how u utilise them
This will be my last post here since this thread does not seems to be going anywhere

Thanks 4 ur reply Veon18..
And I forgot to say that the List Of "Best" Phones(In Orange) is NOT created by me ...
I juz quote it from a website niah (mobiledia.com) ... :D
Dun be so ji4 dong4 :cool: ... its juz a review niah..I think no fault 2 listen to others' opinion guah...~
:p

T610 is a failure that's why T630 was launched. T610 have reception problem. Phone main thing is reception, no point buying a phone with bad reception.
