Hi all,
I've had a trusty Sony Ericsson T68i (James Bond edition)since January 2003.
As you can imagine, it's getting old and some of the buttons are getting a bit temperamental so I'm thinking of changing.
I've always had Ericsson phones. The list being:
- T29
- T39
- T68i
I think that I want to return to clamshells as I always have the phone in a back pocket and tend to sit on it a lot so "candy bar" types keep making me check if the keypad is locked or not...(I know you can autolock it, but still).
Anyway, I've seen the V800 that doesn't look bad (even with all the Vodafone branding all over it).
I went to try it in a shop and it seemed ok, less "plasticy" than the T68i (is the V800 made of plastic or some kind of metal?).
I do have some questions though:
- Is it possible to open with one hand and operate with one hand?
- Is it a good phone?
- Is it sturdy?
- It says that it has 72 voices, what does that mean? Could I have mp3 (real) ringtones? Can I load mp3s onto it and use it as an mp3 player? Would the limit depend on the size of the memorystick inserted?
- Could I use any headphones or just the ones provided?
- If I download a game/theme/screensaver, where will it go? On the memorystick or the internal memory?
Is there a memorystick included?
Does it respond quickly (problem I had with T68i)
- Is there not a newer model around the corner?
- Would you get it?
Thanks all,
gaffer
