Nokia 6280 Vs Sony Ericsson W800i

[juscool]

Hi All,

I'm planning to upgrade my handphone wanting :

1) Radio

2) MP3 Player

3) BlueTooth connectivity

4) GPRS

Any bros who have these phones and are hardcore followers can share their views on which is more superior?

I'm currently carrying a Nokia 6230 and thus, address book portability comes up as a major slant towards the Nokia one.

camera function wise, its the ericsson thats better.

[juscool]

Camera is not that important at the moment for me.

But any techies out there that can elaborate on the difference between the OS.

Sees Nokia is on 4.0 Symbiant OS

S.Ericsson is on Java.

Not sure what the pros and cons are on these differences.

[d88p]

on the other forum that i go too, someone did mention that once you have used java, you will find that the symbian phones are slower

i swear by sony erricsson, i am using W800 now, and never did i regret 1 day i got it which cost me 2 arms and 1.5 legs...

never hangs, damn durable (dropped it from a variety of heights, from 1.8 m to 1.0m, countless times) sound quality rox, simple to operate once you get used to the interface. not much difference from nokia, with the exception of the joystick, which actually makes operation easier.

be daring to get something new, dun worry bout not used to it. cos everything will be the same after a while when you adapt to it..

W800i ROX.

Thanks Bros..man, tough choice indeed..and the fact that Singtel is throwing in a free bluetooth ear piece worth $99 is not helping me at all...

Anybody else got any reviews on the new Nokia 6280 ? I guess its new that why...

Cnet is rating it 8.9

W800i 9.1

Close fight...
