Looking for a new mobile...

I need unlocked, camera, tough, preferably clamshell, cheap.

Any ideas?

 

Don't ever, ever buy a Siemens phone

 

or a Motorola.

 

I'm loving my K800i, though - now I can photo-blog from anywhere in the
world (with CDMA coverage)

 

I really like my W810i. And my 6021 is, well, functional if not
exactly fully featured.

 

Even Siemens gave up on Siemens phones and flogged them to BenQ. I
remember when they started introducing Siemens phones at work, everyone
seemed to lay their hands on a Nokia handset and swap SIMs.

I take it you've been given a company mobile and it's cack?

 

Angie has a K750i, and it seems a nice phone - I assume the 800 is
just "more of the same but a bit better".

why would you want to, though?

 

Yes. Don't ever buy a clamshell ... or a slider. The moving connector
*will* break eventually.

 

You truely are Simon 2.0.

 

Yeah. It's gone straight into the bottom drawer. I'll whip the sim
card out if I need to start making large volumes of business calls (or
go abroad)

Sort of. 3 megapixels, with a proper flash on-board, and 3G.

Then I can use the phone to subscribe to my own RSS feed, of course!

 

you're not going to pull off this "sad is the new cool" shtick, you
know.

 

6021s are our standard-issue corporate mobile. It does everything
you'd want from a phone, but without any of the non-phone stuff. It's
also very solidly built, and has proven to easily stand being dropped
onto pavements etc.

 

My work 6310i is just like that.
The battery lasts for ages as well which is a bonus.
I was chatting with a bloke from Viglen on Weds night, he had a Samsung
P300.

Rather different from most current offerings I thought !

Our company phones are 6021s as well. No-one's managed to break one yet.

I also have a 6230i, which is equally as tough. I bought it to replace
the 6230 that fell out of my Baglux tankbag on the M4 at 120mph. I gave
it to my girlfriend after replacing the lost battery, memory card and
outer casings. It still works fine, hence the purchase of a 6230i
replacement.
