Im sick of Touchscreen Phones..any alternatives?

HazRutter · 21-06-09, 05:07 PM

Hey guys, seems I only ever post here to ask you lot questions!

Anyway, new one for you guys.

I have currently got the samsung omnia, and im sick of it. I think im a little bit bored of touchscreen altogether.

So, could anyone recommend me a phone with KEYS please (

) as im not really up to date with this sort of thing anymore.

A fairly decent internet browser and camera would be nice also.

Thanks guys!

Have you ever used the iPhone mate. I hate all other so called touch screen phones but i love the iPhone! If you have and don't like it i don't know what to recommend as i don't really keep myself up to date with the phone market!

HazRutter · 21-06-09, 05:10 PM

Yeah my dads got a iPhone and I play around with it so much, im kinda bored of that now as well haha..

Also, they are so pricey, £1000 for the new 32gb 3GS, ouch.

Get a touchscreen WITH qwerty keys

Amiethest · 21-06-09, 05:32 PM

Personally I'd look at one of the newer Sony Ericsson's. I've always been happy with them.

Yeah, I always used to use them. I was thinking one of them, know of any good ones?

Amiethest · 21-06-09, 05:47 PM

I've got the P1i, don't know if it's still available, but it's a brilliant phone.

This is one of the best ones I've used... And it has 10MP Camera!!

Amiethest · 21-06-09, 05:48 PM

HA!!! Classic!

Ilikefree · 21-06-09, 07:18 PM

i have a sony ericsson w890i and my advice is to steer well away from it

Scribbler · 21-06-09, 07:41 PM

I was in exactly the same situation; everyone has jumped on the touchscreen bandwagon and you can't get a decent 'normal' phone for love nor money!

After a bit of research, however, I plumped for the Nokia 6220: Smartphone with 5MP camera (Carl Zeiss lens), 3G, GPS, etc. adn you can download apps for it. Google maps is awesome!

oXoDCoXo · 21-06-09, 10:36 PM

C902 is a Sony erricson with a 5mp camera... I would tell to more about it but I'm on my ipo and it would take ages.. If you want I can tell you what I think of it in full tomorrow but I sure you can google

1halfsingh · 21-06-09, 10:49 PM

Trust me when I say the N82 is still an absolutely wicked phone. The quality of the pictures is awesome (Carl Zeiss + Xenon flash), and it has basically every feature you can think of, including iPlayer (it's not just available on the n96 & iPhone

). I've had mine for over a year, and it still performs better than most phones out there today. It's got some pretty high-end hardwarein it, and the graphics chip in it is particularly awesome, check out ppl running quake 3 on it on youtube. You can pick them up for a decent price, and you won't be disappointed.

omairt · 21-06-09, 10:51 PM

You can't go wrong with any Nokia smartphone tbh. The only downside is that most start slowing down a bit once the memory card starts getting full.

Douf · 21-06-09, 11:25 PM

Get the G1 mobile and guess what i have a site that will help you get it for free

lol

I was looking into this last week as well. I've got a Sony Ericsson 850i and I hate it. I was wanting to get one with a qwerty keyboard, but don't want an iPhone. I might hold off till the Palm Pre comes over as it looks pretty good, but think that version 2 whenever it arrives will be better as the current version has some things missing.

I'm also going to try and get a hands on with the Samsung i8910, here's a review of it...

You wanna check out the review with the Palm Pre, as cool as it is, the keyboard seems to be the downside as the keys are simply so tiny it's hard for anybody to string a sentence out with at least one mistake. (I do love it though!)

Bobman13579 · 22-06-09, 07:37 AM

I want to screw a smart-phone altogether and just get an OQO 2+ (Smallest and most powerful handheld computer) It's amazing!

TheUserName · 22-06-09, 05:42 PM

Wow, awesome specifications!

And then I saw the price.

Bobman13579 · 22-06-09, 05:43 PM

Yea bloody expensive, but what an awesome gadget!
