can anyone please suggest a good mobilephone model for me to buy????

please dont suggest phones frm these companies: MOTOROLA , LG or other unpopular companies.im currently using a 2 yr old MOTOROLA C261 and getting a original battery for my model seems impossible in sban so im scouting to buy a new hp.

my 1st choice is : NOKIA MODELS
2nd choice : SAMSUNG / SONY ERICSSON

my usage is practically limited to making/receiving calls & smsing....other functions i want is camera (NOT VGA).....games & every other functions re secondary.....i need sumthing NOT bulky...THE MORE SMALLER THE MORE IDEAL....I dont want sliding model but flipping ones re fine...

well....the important question wil be my budget eh....no fixed budget bt im not going pay thousands....hundreds would be ideal..tks a lot...

Hahaha... Bruce, shopping for a phone eh?

Dont worry, yor are wise to ask around first. Dont be like me, anything I lay my eyes on, the next minute I will be carrying it home. I bought a new bulky PDA phone called O2 XDA Executive which opens up in half like a laptop, it has so many functions and features. Problem is I hardly ever use it except as my alarm clock daily to get up at 5.55 am and start hitting my treadmill in the next room at 6 am.

My active phone that I use is the P1i Sony Ericcson. I been a P series fan ever since the P900 came out, then switch to the P910i, didnt like it that much so I got the XDA and als the P1i as a second phone.

The other day I went shopping at Tesco Extra Cheras nearby my home with my wife and I saw they have a promotion for a PDA phone that can receive TV1, TV2, TV3, TV7, TV8 and TV9. NOt bad at a price of around RM 700. It is also a touchscreen operated phone with some good sound.
Not bad! Too bad I already have 2 phones. I think its called CSL model. They give 1.5 years warranty which is longer than most branded phone's warranty of 1 year. I checked out their features, NOT BAD for the value. They also give a 1 Gig memory card as well as Bluetooth handsfree set.

Check it out at Tesco. I feel its a good buy.

please visit..... www.nokia.com and select Asia Pacific then Malaysia..

you can view all the phone models and the technical spec.... then write down the models that u r interested .... check out at the dealers for price and further info..... cos sometimes the phones are being modified for Malaysian requirement, taste, simply to market the phone or for cheaper price reason.
