Best buy cellphone for calls only as main use.

[swordsman]

I need a cellphone that will be used mainly for making and receiving calls. Will be used mostly for conference calls with clients, while on the go.

So the main feature should be:

- very clear voice calls - both when using the unit itself or using it connected to a headset.

- headset should have the 3.5mm jack, i find the ones used on Ericsson phone to be prone to disconnections. a handy mute button should be a bonus.

- highly sensitive signal(whether using globe or smart, etc). i know it usually depends on the carrier, but if there's a phone with higher sensitivity than others(all things being equal), then i'd prefer that.

- not overly pricey, since main use of this will only be making/receiving calls.

i don't care much about other features such as camera, nn-gig expansion, media player, tv out, wi-fi, hsdpa, PIM, or any other features that adds cost to the unit. i have a separate equipment for those things. but they're a plus if i get the main features mentioned above.

i'm not brand conscious either as long as i get the features i want, and the phone doesn't last a month or two only, that's fine.

also, doesn't have to be the latest models, if there are older models that are known to have those features above, i'll probably be willing to look at pre-owned, mint or old stock units.

Can you guys suggest any?

I know... it's like looking for an SiR.

Nokia 6110 Navigator

get a philips mobile phone. they are known to have the best and longest battery life in the market. i think i've seen one at the park square area at around 6-7k.

hahaha! ok, not that old. only models above 5110, and with Lithium-Ion battery So that means, probably within the last 2-3 years(hopefully price has significantly gone down).


i check the 6110 price and that of phillips.

Anything else? I read that Nokia 6120 classic also has excellent voice call quality. Will be checking if the price fits the budget.

Nokia N80 is good and relatively cheap with lots of features. But it's a battery hog which means a full charge would only last a day if you call a lot. If not, 1.75 days.

With the proper software installed and gprs/3g enabled account, you can even turn this celfone into a wifi hotspot.

eto siguro ang the best para sa inyo sir

Why not consider the Nokia 1200? I got that phone for a mere Php1,500, complete with a one year warranty from Nokia Philippines.

Reason why I got this phone is because I wanted a cheap, functional, no-nonsense phone for Sun. And I got more than what I paid for: battery life of about 2-3 days with moderate calling and texting, "small-pin" Nokia charger (compatible with the late model Nokias and the N-Series), and it can call and text, which is really all I need.

Tama, mga 3-4 days ang tinatagal ng battery nyan base sa mga na-encounter o mga feedback sa customers ko. kaya mas ok pa yan, napakamura pa!

"Speaker phone" function sounds like tin foil.

Dropped calls.

Bad reception in marginal areas.

OT: iwan ko ba sa mga ibang tao kahit na di naman nila kailangan ang ibang features ay binibili nila para lang masabing maganda unit nila

[Horsepower]

GH: those are pretty bad experiences. di kaya fake nabili mo? Never had those problems with my bro's 1100 (which is what practically 1200 is).

Donski nasiraan ka na ng flex cable ng D880? alam ko kasi madali masira ang flex pero baka malay mo lang, ok itong model na ito. kailangan ko kasi ng dual sim pero ayaw ko nung mga china brands e. Umiinit daw at mahina signal. Ewan ko ba what Nokia and SE are waiting for.

[donski]

* Sir Horsepower, oo kasi yan ang kadalasang nasisisra sa mga customer namin dito sa riyadh basta lahat ng mga slider ay laging sira ang flex cable lalo na ang mga new model ng nokia ngayun sirain ang flex cable mas ok pa ang motorola na clamshell style

[Horsepower]

wah talaga?? baka dahil sa init lang dyan? hehehe

mura lang daw n85 jan eh, 3000 riyals lang sa khobar. two weeks ago, ewan ko lang ngayon.

gusto ko pa naman ng N85 at N96

Yung D780 kasi, actually downgrade yan kahit newer sa d880. Meron na jan D890? yun ang medyo maganda, wala nga lang keypad.

But it's CHEAP! hehehe!

I just don't know the current price of this though. Last January, I paid Php1.5k, with Nokia Philippines warranty. Those w/o warranty goes for the most Php1.2k, at that time.

mas mura talaga ang cellphone dito kasi walang tax D890 parang wala pang napasok sa amin dito, ang N85 siguro nasa 2000K pababa na siya ang brand new not sure kasi wala ako sa showroom

bat dika nalang mag sonyericson C902 maganda siya para sa akin.


spec: niya

[russpogi]

^The SE C902 is nice. The only downside of that is the UI is slow.

[Horsepower]

Donski: D980 pala hehhe

eto spec

Gusto ko kasi yung LifeBlog (now Nokia Photos). Archiving software yun ng Nokia for SMS, Audio, Notes, Recorded Conversations etc.
