Buying New Phone

[tw33k]

I've wanted a sony ericsson xperia 1 from the moment I saw it. I can now afford one (off ebay) and don't know if I should buy it or not. My w960i serves me well, except there are some minor problems with the touch screen. I'm willing to spend $550AU on a new phone. I've been researching hard but still can't decide. I love the features on the x1, qwerty keyboard, good sized touchscreen, 3.5mm jack but don't know if I can justify the purchase to myself. I want a phone I can synch with outlook, watch movies on and write messages either on the screen (good hand writing recog is essential) or via the keyboard.
What phone would you buy if you had $550AU to spend?

If the sony ericsson xperia 1 is the phone you've been lusting over and saving hard for, I think you should buy that phone, you deserve it.
Hmmm....$550AU, that's £303.....me personally, i'd buy an iPhone for my girlfriend so she stops messing with mine!

Hey I want to buy iPhone 3GS but its not available in India. Can someone suggest me some way to get it?

 

[rsvr85]

Send me the money, i'll buy one from eBay and send it to you.

Well I m serious. And I can trust you. How much does it cost?

 

[rsvr85]

Well a brand new iPhone 3GS (16GB) seems to be around the £600 mark - That's 46652 INR.
Of course prices do vary depending on iPhone size, condition, if used etc.

How about buying from Apple.com? Will the price vary?

I was quoting prices from eBay.co.uk there. I can't get to prices on Apple.com as they're only selling to new or existing AT&T wireless customer (i'm not existing!)

In my opinion the iPhone sucks. I bought myself a Samsung Tocco Lite yesterday and its the best phone I have had in a long long time.

PS don't flame my opinion hehe

iPhone's don't suck, they just too damn expensive. I think they're brilliant pieces of kit.
Hmmmm.......St. Helens is it?? What were you saying sucks?!

To be honest I wouldn't trust ebay for electrical goods. Last year I bought an Xbox 360 and I have already resold it as RRoD for £43

I have no qualms with eBay, i bought a XBOX 360 June just passed. 8 games, 2 wireless pads, 2 wireless headsets, HDMI leads, 20GB HDD......£80!!! It's still going strong as ever, infact i'm in the middle of a very important meeting with Lambert (Splinter Cell DA)...excuse me!!

 

[Fluffy]

My point exactly Dinesh.

@ rsvr85 Quins? omg lol

 

[tw33k]

I've bought loads of things off ebay and never had a problem.
I wouldn't buy an iphone, they are overrated. The x1 is a better phone.

You are right. iPhone was unsuccessful in India and other Asian countries due to its high price.

High prices is a major issue. It doesn't seem to stop suckers (me included) buying them though.
I managed to acquire mine quite cheaply though, there's no way on this planet, i'd shell out around £600 for a pay-as-you-go phone. That's a months rent for christs sakes!!
