Help me chose a new phone

[heath_rox]

hey guys i cant decide between these three phones tell me what you think (and dont say "iphone 3g" because i want a phone that will boot up within 3 minutes and not have a chance that after an update it wont work, mabie iphone 3 will fix this)

nokia n95 (8GB)
-PROS
GPS
WIFI
5 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA/FLASH
8GB OF SPACE
-CONS
NOT QWERTY
big in size


NOKIA E71
-PROS
QWERTY
WIFI
GPS
FLASH
-CONS
NOT THE BEST CAMERA
MORE BISNESS ORIENTATED
NO INTERNAL SPACE
long in size


HTC TOUCH DIAMOND
-PROS
TOUCH SCREEN
FOUR GIGS OF SPACE
GPS
WIFI
small size
-CONS
CRAP CAMERA
TOUCH SCREEN QWERTY


so its ether a qwerty, a good camera or a small size
the size matters to me because i will be using it at school and phones " ARE NOT ALLOWED" during school time (or else your parents have to pick it up from the school) and i need it to be discreet

Also qwerty is very important to me because i find it very hard to text on abc (i guess im kinda leaning 2words the diamond)

i want opinions and/or user experience
tell me what you like or dislike about the device or what would you buy

thanks a ton!

[z3r01]

[heath_rox]

i dont really like the n96 i personally think nokia made it a heck of a lot uglier chucking in all them curves

also does anyone know how compatible winmo and mac are?
can you sync songs and adress book thanks if so how

[Kelly.Baxton]

I like the nokia n95 better!

I vote Nokia 5160! You can even change out face plates, lol.

I don't understand this statement. Your phone takes more than 3 minutes to boot up? WHAT ON EARTH have you done with it? Also what makes it not work after an update? I am assuming you are referring to a jailbreak/unlock?

[z3r01]

this is it, this is the cell phone you should get
the motorola dynatac 8000x

here it is in action with the limited edition eddie bauer extended battery

now that is one compact phone

Your phone takes more than 3 minutes to boot up? WHAT ON EARTH have you done with it? ?

installed a couple of apps from the app store

this is it, this is the cell phone you should get
the motorola dynatac 8000x

here it is in action with the limited edition eddie bauer extended battery

now that is one compact phone

i believe that that phone would have been incredibly compact for its time

That is a sweet phone!

That doesn't add up. I have eight pages of apps and my iPhone 3G boots up in about a minute and a half.

[z3r01]

my phone used to boot up that long when i had winterboard installed, now it boots up in a minute with out it

Actually it was the ONLY phone for it's time.

[z3r01]

i have the cellular one version of that phone in my closet lol

I have about 60 appstore apps and a messload of cydia apps and my phone boots less than a minute... It is most likely your JV status rather than the phone itself. 3 minutes is longer than my pc takes to boot!

[DoerrFan]

I recommend N95.

You want something discreet for school? That will prove to be difficult... Does your school allow PDA's? If so, then I'd say pretty much any HTC product would do. Though, most phones, well, look like phones. Ya know what I mean?

Honestly, I'd say this: Mod your iPhone such that it appears to be only a PDA. It's what I do at work. If I hear that a sup. is coming, double tap to bossprefs, switch off edge and I'm left with a WiFi only device. Just a thought...

[z3r01]

where do you work ?

[Imahottguy]

Hospital... Why? lol I should mention that it is on rare occasion that, outside of breaks, I get time to F around on my device to the point that I draw attention to myself.
