what cellphone to give???

[shadow]

I want to give my wife a cellphone this x'mas, and she wanted a clam/flip type? ano bang best na clam type pone ngayon? a little backgrounder sa wife ko, she's 27, working on a OZ co., actually she heads one of the department? ano ba bagay sa kanya? she's using a nokia 66?? something basta yun colored na maliit. I already asked her about P900 and XDA, pero ayaw niya talaga dahil malaki daw.... paki indicate na lang yun model para pwede na magcanvass, thanks

i think samsung phones may be ur best bet..maraming models pagpipilian..my gf also wants a clamtype fon..but im too cheap to buy a 15T+ fon for her

SE s700i.

i would agree w/ bluebimmer. get her a samsung phone. cute na clam type phone. kung di naman siya yung high tech type ok na yan.

hmm ganda parin ng 6600 ah... sayang naman..

agree ako kay xpac se s700i... uh lala cellphone.. kayalang baka madoble gastos mo.. pag bili ka ganun... dahil gusto mo din hihihi

i bought my mom z600 sony ericcson...kinda old clamshell phone..but we are both impressed.naka SE ka pa..sure na matibay.may bluetooth, camera..etc.

got it for only 11k 2 weeks old...mga more ang brand new...

Along with BlueBimmer's suggestion, I'd recommend a Samsung E600. It's a clam shell phone, cute ang size. My officemate bought one, and it impressed everyone in the office. Even my boss wanted to get rid of his P900 and get the Samsung instead.

Uni*** naman yung design ng E600, pero I think the rather curvy shape makes it more suitable for women.

[BlueBimmer]

magkano kaya E600? that would be a great gift..sana wag syado mahal kc regalo lng e..

maybe nokia 7200 is for her..anyhow, she heads a dept and it has features more for girls. the cover can be changed...the cover itself is like leatherette or felt type..she can change it depending on her outfit...IMO.

thanks for all the suggestions, anyways, I'm looking right now yun itsura ng mga models na sinabi niyo, papunta ako ng greenhills this saturday, okba bumili doon? I'm sure mas mura, meron ba kayo ma recommend na shop?

nokia 7200, definitely ayaw niya dahil sinabi na niya sa akin dati....wala bang lalabas na bago ang nokia sa january?

in terms of "clam type units", Samsung is the best and is the one known for that.

the phone's UI is simple too, average battery life and the features are quite ok. resale price is still high even if you use the phone for around a year.

but most of them either have no BT or have crippled IR.

yeah how would u transfer personal pics from ur previous fon...mms is 1 way i guess.

[av8or5]

what about Nokia 6260..nice features.its a flip phone..brand new design..if you have a postpaid line w/globe..u can get unit only for P20,000. Giving you the price so you can canvas around Greenhills. Oks naman to buy at Greenhills..i buy mine there..just be careful and inspect the phones very well. Here are some prices also for your own use

pogi ng motorola razor! may kamahalan nga lang ehehehe :D

[chieffy]

the motorola razor looks nice! kita ko sa Globe kanina...

shadow, since your wife is a head of a department...di ba magiging very useful sa kanya ang pocket pc?

ssaloon ganda rin ng Motorola MPx ah...

[ssaloon]

yup! pareho pa kaming OS, WM 2003 SE bwehehe

I highly suggest that you give her an E700.



From the sound of it, you wife isn't really a techie (since she shunned the P900 & XDA) and an easy-to-use and stylish-yet-compact phone is what she needs.

The downside to the E700 is that it doesn't have IR & BT - though it comes with a USB cable for transferring / synching with your PC.

SE? Am really disappointed with SE when I got a T610 more than a year ago. The addresbook functionality is very limited as compared to Nokia's. I do hope that their better models have addressed this.

Ala bang mga 10K and below dyan na pwedeng i-credit card financing? Want to give my wife one din but of course, di pwede luho, hehe she's so not a techy, but I want her to have a phone na at least pwedeng store ng pictures ng anak namin, camera is not a must.
