My Nokia 6280 is crapping out... So i got this one!

Blayde · July 28th, 2008, 04:14 PM

That viewty is a beauty, but i've never used LG phones, is the interface good?

IceBone · July 28th, 2008, 04:22 PM

Sometimes a bit sluggish and the scrolling sometimes doesn't work as i intended (but that might just be cause i haven't gotten used to it), but it's quite good.

Camera phones are amusing

Two nice new toys

A "Don't Hassle the Hoff" mug as a present from my brother !

And a 3rd Gen iPod Nano from the Apple refurb store (99€ for the 4GB) :

The interface is very very nice and responsive and I was missing iTunes for the fill-up process with my Palm that I was using since my iPod mini died a few weeks ago

And it will be nice to have nice music in the car at last, french radios aren't really good in my area...

Two new handsets to replace my iPhone, someone wants to hazard a guess which one I'll be keeping?

Lilleput · July 29th, 2008, 06:35 PM

Uh! uh!.. Err... Sony... Nokia! Yes, Nokia!

killpanda · July 29th, 2008, 06:49 PM

Apple !

Amzing. One of my cousins also got the same phone a few days back. A black one though.
I fooled around it for a while and I understand what you mean by the sluggish menu. Its not that responsive. I didnt mind the scrolling though. It was okay and the wheel around the camera isnt bad either.

IceBone · July 29th, 2008, 07:07 PM

Well, it's faster than a Motorola.

Nah, the Sony. Better Walkman and it's just a lovely little phone.

Are you selling the iPhone? If yes, tell me how much you get for it. I might sell mine, if the price is right and if this months CC bill isnt too bad...

I'll tell you when I've sold it. eBay prices are quite abnormal at the moment with a range from 300 to 500€. I hope to get 400-450€ (In other words: more than I paid 6 months ago)

Shawn · July 30th, 2008, 04:57 AM

^ Why are you selling your iPhone? Sure it sucks in a lot of areas, but there seems to be a lot of cool new apps and it's good for media playback.

Buba · July 30th, 2008, 07:25 AM

Yeah, and all the new apps can even be had for free...!!!

Polly · July 30th, 2008, 08:39 AM

Don't get me wrong guys, I love the iPhone, it was everything I could possibly want from a mobile phone, apart from being perhaps a tiny bit too big. But I learned by now that basically I don't need more than a petite phone with SonyEricsson menu and a decent mp3-player. But what I actually do need is something new to play around with every 4-6 months.
