Hello all,
I've been travelling using the panasonic x800, a tri band phone but I've found it has extremely low volume and horrible battery life, thus the quest for a new and better phone (and also because I want a new toy ). Anyhow, the main features i'd be looking for in my next phone:
-candbar preferable, flip slightly less
-GSM tri/quad band to be used in Canada when I return home
-good volume
-better than 3 day standby
-bluetooth, IR
-good contacts list, and a calender
-ability to add more memory
-a nice screen (ie. big)
-would be nice to be able to use applications on it like symbian os
not so important:
-camera (a crappy one is adequate if the contacts list allows adding pictures to the contact)
-ability to download more games
-ability to download mp3/polyphonic ringtones
i don't really care for:
-music/video playback
Also, in my travels using pre paid sims, sometimes you have to use prefixes to dial international numbers. I was wondering if there are any phones/programs out there that can have prefixes programmed in, and also if they can automatically insert the correct global prefix, as set in the contacts so that you don't have to keep adding or removing the prefix from their number depending on the country you're in. I don't know if this feature even exists, or maybe I don't know how to use it in symbian os, but it would be nice to have.
With my experience on my current phone, I'm leaning towards a nokia/motorola/sony/samsung although I'll consider any suggestions at all!
Thanks!
