my old phone is starting to die so i'm in the market for a new one.

im thinking vodafone for a change and they have the caps and things.

i know i dont want an iphone but i want something pretty awesome considering its going to have to last me nearly 2 years,

thanks mookie

if you hadda been interested about 3 months ago, you could have gotten a n95 on the $49 cap lol, but they've taken it to the next cap up afaik, was too popular on the $49 lol

MookieMadskillz
oh bugger !

ohwell there must be something to replace it
tiso88
yeah will look tommoro at the different phones unless one of the other voda workers know the other phones on offer wink.gif

dont go vodafone, its shit as, the reception is terrible,
MookieMadskillz
i'm not going out woop woop so its not going to be an issue
VS_SS
family members lose reception in snug, margate and sometimes kingston
tweetwoof
mum loses reception at home, in glenorchy on vodafone aswell lol

try the n96?
tiso88
the only place in kingo i've ever lost reception thru voda was in undercover big w carpark, i had reception at SPG mook wink.gif the only place i lose reception is on the southern outlet kingston bound for about 800m just after the mt nelson turn off wink.gif

they're implementing 3G early 09, so will extend coverage by i think it was 50km radius for every tower
MookieMadskillz
sweet !

im not worried about the reception my friends with vodafone seem to do fine so its not going to be an issue
tiso88
plus if u are on 1c, people can still text you for 1c when you goto voda tongue.gif

tweetwoof

MookieMadskillz
ohwell its a good way to get their attention or to start a conversation
tweetwoof
"hey baby, i have a chicks phone...wanna bang?" haha tongue.gif

EDIT: OT, if i was you i'd never go with an LG...theres a big chance that it'll fuck itself over...LG are a home appliance brand..stay with a brand that makes phones lol..thats the way i see it...ask baz about his experience with LG phones tongue.gif

MookieMadskillz
anyway i want something a bit more snazzy than that
tweetwoof
n96 dude

or wait till the n97 comes out...then u'll be the most snazzy bastard around
MookieMadskillz
hmmm
i've got an n70 at the moment and its a peice of shit

i hope they have picked up their game since

but that was like 3 years ago
tweetwoof
i think they have dude, n95 was ment to of gone off...

my ex has one, and her brother, really good phone..

so the n96 i reckon would be better, and the n97 is ment to be the phone to compete and beat the iPhone...doesnt come out till early/mid next year though i think, i know the nokia rep smile.gif haha
MookieMadskillz
oh
well i doubt my phone will last that long

N95 8Gb is where its at Mooke.

I would seriously consider an I-Phone as they are sexy as fark in my opinion.

Sam
tweetwoof
the iPhones we got down here were the gay ones that failed heaps tho i heard

the original apple iPhone that was released in america had like a titanium and glass casing, where we got dumpd with the 3g one thats all plastic

so i heard tongue.gif
delazy
iphones are nearly as over-rated as ae86s....so thats saying something....

the new samsung omnia and the re-release of the new HTC's should and prolly will smash the iphone out of the market tongue.gif

LG's are the biggest pieces of shit, day i got my ks360 a wire broke in it, I had the phone 5 hours, got a new one the next day, and had it for a week, it kept turning off and doing stupid shit, imop, Nokias are the shit, the N95 is awesome and has a nice 5mp camera, video camera is awesome on it, doesn't LAG at all like some nokias, has all that memory card jazz, If i was to get a new mobile it would be the N95, DON'T get a touch screen phone, most likely they will shit them self etc..go with something simple and stylish thats also upto date, so either the N95/N96 would be great and does everything you need, also has wifi etc..

ranga phones lol. red head network!

nokia 6500 Slide 4TW with GPS!

89 voda cap yall!
MookieMadskillz
yeah i couldnt handle touch screen when i'm drunk i would get frustrated and have to get ppl to msg for me
BAGSIT

tiso88
n95 wins, but mine lags sometimes, atm i have a bit over 1800 messages in my inbox, so it takes a second to open lol, but still only using like 7% memory tongue.gif

Ive got a brand new N96, unlocked, never used...

$950


Ive got an iphone, im not really a big apple nerd fan boy or anything and i was a bit sceptical before getting it, but i reckon its pretty sweet!

You can get awesome apps, the battery life seems fine to me, its never crashed even once, im running the latest software hacked, which opens you up to a world of cool shit!

I have that VLC media player running, so I can watch any videos on it without converting etc.

And I dont care what anyone reckons, it is THE best phone net browser by not just a country mile but about 1,000,000 country miles.

brady1234ikin_CRX
fuck everything but nokias.. ive had heaps of phone.. actually currently have a k850i sony erricson.. its got wicked camera and cool touch screen and reception where alot of other phones dont...


but it turns off randomly and freezes up, ive had the touch screen bit bugger up and had to get it sent away for 4 weeks on repair.

there is not one nokia i have hated
ecko
Okay mate
DO NOT BUY ANY NEW NOKIAs ESPECIALLY N96
nokia has gone to shit at the moment.. N96 is actually a downgrade from a n95 8gb except its pretty

without a doubt get a new Sony ericson C905 8MP camera and tough as bricks very sterdy design.

Iphones are awesome dont listen to anyone other than those that have actually owned one there probly one of the most reliable phones around atm. the only small issue is battery life but hey we all have electricity at home yeah???

i cant stress enough tho dont get new nokias buy either a samsung or sony ericson..

feel free anyone to try and argue my points but this is what i deal with everyday.. (i work for vodafone)

Couldnt agree more, all the anti iphone people have never used one i bet, I did laugh at all the dweebs lining up the day they came out, but after having one for a few months now, they shit on anything else!

Battery life doesnt seem that bad to me, i play around with it a fair bit and it lasts a good 2-3 days between charges, and im pretty sure you can get to a powerpoint that often

Toughest phone ive seen was one macca (tas_dvl) had, its was a sony ericsson s700 i think, I have photos of us pissed on aus day playing footy with it over my house, shortly before we both passed out lol.

It still works too, after several 15ft+ hits on the road!
