Need a new Phone.

I can't decide between the Motorola C139 or Nokia 6030. Both are budget phones. Nothing fancy. Good enought for me.

But Motorola only has 100 phone book entires. Unless each name can have multiple names. Nokia has 500.

I was attracted to the long battery life of the C139. 18 days standbye and 11 hours of talk time. Only 12 for Nokia and 3 hours talk time. But ZDNET and CNET claim they managed to squeeze 15 hours out of the Nokia and ZDNET said 15 days instead of the 12 listed at nokia for standbye time.

The 1 drawback is all the reviews I've read said the Nokia is too soft and hard too hear without turning on the speaker phone. Don't know if that is true.

The menus are always confusing on any Motorola I've used. But some say the Nokia 6030 is a bit hard too with the four way arrow thing with center button.

So can''t decide which phone is better. I can get both about the same price. So just looking at features and ease of use not price.

Thanks,

I am not sure you are going to get help when it comes to Nokias. Most here would tell you to go with Moto. Including me. I HATE Nokias. Havent used one in quite some time. Motorolas are so customizable.
 
I wouldn't go with a C139 or a 6030...step it up a bit, don't waste your contract upgrade on such crappy phones. If you want a budget phone from cingular, ,get a a slvr, there free
 
Un no I have T-Mobile. And no contract upgrade. I slip my sim card in to any gsm phone unlocked or tmobile and it uses my exisiting contract.

I just need something that has good battery. Long time between charges. And lots of addressbook entries. Basic is good enough.

Thanks,
