supasi Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hi all I want to know who has or has used a Nokia E63 Cellphone. Vodafone have them on sale for $399 at the moment and my old faithful Sharp is nearing the life of its faithfullness. I have read some reviews, but want to know what peoples opinions are firsthand. I want a QWERTY cellphone and the fact its Wi Fi appeals to me. No GPS but oh well. I like the fact I can take pics with phne on upload direct with my wireless network. All from comfort of fish room. LOL So people, share your opinons. I want to make sure its worthwhile purchase before I spend precious fish money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supasi Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Back to the original topic, Can I ask you folk who choose to have a cell phone, What type of phone do you use? I am looking for a phone with QWERTY and WiFi. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rox Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Blackberry :bounce: :bounce: wins hands down, QWERTY keyboard is fantastic and easy to use. Remembers all words and never forgets! Unlimited memory, in the 2 yrs I had mine I never had to delete a single message and could use search to pull up a name and find any message ever sent or received. GPS - rules, why have a ph that doesnt have it! Recharges on the computer and you can still use it hence u don't need a separate car charger if you already have a USB charger in your car. Heaps of free stuff online to download, your ring tome can be any song you have downloaded. Just my opinion Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oO SKIPPY Oo Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 jsut watch out of the model of blackberry you get if yo ugo that route - some models break more than others - stear clear of the 8100 and 8110 pearls !!!

si_sphinx Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 That new phone looks nice but im not really a fan of all those small buttons Blackberry :bounce: :bounce: wins hands down, QWERTY keyboard is fantastic and easy to use.

Ive had an iPhone since they came out and the do everything a blackberry can do and more, ipod,video,internet/wi.fi,pictures,text,calls,games,gps,weather,photo albums etc. mine is a first generation so has wireless, 16GB. so i dont need an expensive plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 If I were you I would stay with either nokia or sony ericsson, and usually, when TSP's provide cheaps phones its because they have lots left of a model no one wants. If you dont use pix and video phoning, if you have a camera already, I wouldnt go there tbh. Better off with something more fuctional and reliable, nothing beats the ol nokia BL range, 10 years and still in production, must say something. Dont fix what isnt broken!

rox Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 After a Blackberry and QWERTY a Nokia is a pain in the neck and everywhere else. Nokia is not a market leader any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I have a Nokia e75 and a Nokia 5800 and a Nokia n81 8gb :lol: The keypad on the e63 is absolutely terrible. and i mean terrible. really, its hard to press 1 button at a time unless you are some sort of a midget or have midget hands - which you don't so would find it a right pain. the camera on the 63 can be grainy too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Well thats where I made sure I was saying if you want purely a cell phone, for calling and texting, then nokia or SE. But if its doing much much more then that I really dont know, Samsung seem to be up there in the market for a reasonable price, but this is technology I really dont have time for....If you want a Phone, for calling and Text, my statement still stands, old nokia or SE. If your after the everything in the palm of your hand then I really dont know, none so far are reasonably priced to withstand a bushmans lifestyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supasi Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I may go with the Nokia E63. Its cheap enough to not regret it later and it does all I need it to do. Had a play with one at work againg today and sent several texts from it. Its not too bad. http://www.vodafone.co.nz/shop/mobileDe ...

Southerrrngirrl Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'm looking for a new cellphone to replace my Motorola V360. Silly husband has lost his cellphone and instead of getting him a new one I want to give him my V360 and get a new one for myself. I was looking at the Vodafone 541, mainly because its half price at the moment at $149.00. Does anyone have one of these? I don't use my phone all that often, mostly for txting taking photos and sometimes browsing the internet, so looking at spending under $300. It must have a micro SD card slot, USB connection so I can connect it to my laptop and be able to play MP3s as ringtones. Perhaps any other suggestions?

It has literally no buttons on the front so no good if you touch text. I found the touch screen annoying, but it does come with a stylus so would make it easier to use. Its quite nicely featured for its price, Bluetooth, fm radio, mp3, 1.3mp camera, sd card slot etc. It is a typical "girls phone" meaning most girls would like it, but not as many guys. Thats just my opinion, so dont shoot me for speaking out people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
