bdmilitary........don't get the Razr V3........i know ppl who used it and they hated it. it has lot of technical problems i heard. and I don't know how its like in Bd, but over here, the phone used to cost $520 when it came our 1st, and within few months it dropped to $300, then $200, then $149, and now its like $129 over here......so i think this pretty much tells that no one bought the phone with that high price and they had to drop down the price by a huge margin. nowadays, its like a common phone over here......atleast in my uni. I think I've atleast seen 20 ppl in my uni with that phone in hand after the huge price drop.

I don't know much abt cell phones, but I like Nokia cell phones. I like.... Nokia N90, N91, 8800, 7610, 7280, 6260.........have no idea how much they cost and how well they work, but I like the looks of these phones. u can try Samsung too.....they are pretty good phones as well. My bro uses the SGH-d415. not bad....Samsung has some nice PDA phones those are actually small in size just like a regular cell phone, not like other PDA phones from some different brands which look like a huge TV remote control from the 80s.....:blue_lol; check out Samsung's SPH-i500 and SP-i600. They look pretty neat.

Razr = crap! almost the same specs as the V600 which came out so much earlier. Only good thing about is i guess it is ultra slim, but thats it. But if u still like it, n really wanna get one...buy if from ebay...by mate bought one brand new...USB cable included, and a few other goodies...for A$390...lot cheaper than retail price...12 month warranty...all legit.

hmm

Zoheb and other friends,

I think you are right about this phone. I have a friend who owns a cell phone shop and he told me not to purchase this set. He adviced me on Samsungs and Nokia's. The only reason I like this phone is purely for it's cosmetic looks. Three (3) telephone company does not sell this set, they have others. I might purchase one from them. Three company sets are good, I own one currently.

There are so many different models out now, it is hard to choose. Which sets do you guys like? Do you all have any brand "loyalties" when purchasing phones?

hmm
