Best cellphone for under P15k?

[Poops]

The 3 carriers are heavily subsidizing the units just to get users to commit their cashflow for the next 2 years. If you can, why not get a postpaid plan and have one of the carriers pay for your unit? Imagine mo in one promo, XDA 2 for 1,800 monthly for 2 years from Globe.
Ganito na rin sa Japan and US...almost everyone gets their unit with their plans.

Try the Samsung E-600, Clamshell , small, with camera, good resolution, very light, P 14,000 brand new. Got my wifey one, she's very satisfied after disposing of her p 800.

I'm using a Nokia 3200... currently priced at around P9,000 at Greenhills.

has most of the features most people are looking for in a celfone these days:
-tri-band (I went to europe for almost a month and also stopped over at hong kong, no problems).
-color display
-polyphonic ring tunes (true tunes also if you can convert wav/mp3 files to its native format)
-digital camera (a bit limited but functional)
-customizable case
-flashlight
-infrared connection
-gprs capable
-very loud speaker
-fm radio
-voice recorder (you can record your own ring tunes)
-battery is good for 3 days (with vibrate on and some voice calls)

downsides:
-weird keypad (but I got used to it in a couple of weeks)
-limited memory (1 meg, not expandable)
-can not take video clips
-screen display quality is inferior as compared to N6230.

i agree... the keypad is just weird, but i also got used to it na...
downside: 1 meg of memory (and no expandable memory option) pero already good for a simple lifestyle...

OT: di pala ako nagiisa sa paggamit ng 3200...

is the t630 faster than the t610? ang bagal kasi ng t610. i like it but yung nga, mabagal, tapos minsan naga-hang

T630 ata ang hinahanap ko. Malaking screen, TFT na yung screen (pwede na gamitin sa labas). Pero medyo makapal pa rin ang case. Gusto ko talaga manipis at magaan. I'd sacrifice the camera if I could have the phone half as thin. Any suggestions?

Malaki pa rin yung 7250. Nasanay na rin ako sa malaking screen ng T610.

Akala ko mga 6 months ago lumabas daw isang cellphone galing China, thinest cellphone in the world daw.

what i did was to get a t610 and have a custom leather case made, minus the belt attachment and medyo streamlines sya, so fits easily in my pants pocket.

my next phone will be the t630

why not get the K700i nalang? mas ok ang features kesa sa T630.

San ba yung South Mall? Pangalan ba ng store DGK?

Ano ang tips mo to buy a cellphone? The only thing I know is to check the serial number on the phone and match it with the box. Sabi sa kin kung yung cellphone sobrang mura, it's because they replaced the original battery with a cheaper one.

[gretzy]

get a Samsung E600 or E700 na lang, mas manipis yung E700

ok na ba talaga yan? baka yan na nga ang kunin ko eh.. wala na kasi ibang trip na fones sa sun cell

[GlennSter]

odell..sinabi na nila na ok.

kung dika pa rin makapaniwala, mag hanap ka ng meron niyan..it's like car audio mehn.you know what i mean.

we can continue on suggesting snd suggesting hundreds of phones pero kung tanong lang nang tanong, wala ka ring mabibili.

good luck.balitaan mo kami.

Bumili na rin ako ng phone. SE K500. P14k sa SM Manila. Siguro mas mura sa Greenhills pero wala na ko tiwala dun eh. Dati yung nabili kong Nokia, peke pala ang battery, kaya pala mura ng konti.

Satisfied na ko dito sa K500. Kasing laki ng T610, I was hoping to get something much smaller. Pero mas magaan ito. It can play mp3 files and you can use it for your tones. Graphics is sharper than T610. It has 12 megs memory. I like the games included here, ganda ng 3D tennis game. Camera is much better than my old T610. Screen is TFT, hindi tulad ng T610 na impossible gamitin sa labas. Meron din to videoclip, very useful gamitin pag nakakita ako ng suntukan. Most important feature this has that T610 doesn't have is programmable shortcut keys. Pindot ako up, labas agad yung calculator. Pindot ako down, labas agad yung inbox.

Ang complain ko nga lang ay yung shape ng phone. Mas makapal yung top than bottom . Parang yung lumang Nokia phone. I feel like dudulas ito habang ng te-text ako. I can't get a good grip at it. Tsaka medyo hindi ako sanay magtext dito. Kasi hindi flat ang shape ng keys. I don't have skinny fingers kaya medyo weird sa kin. Walang bluetooth itong phone.

Another complain is, mukhang hindi ata durable to. Yung T610 ko, gawa ata sa bakal. Ito gawa lahat sa plastic. Yari na... mahilig pa ako magdrop ng phone.
