Blackberry Storm or iPhone or E71? upto 35K

ashwinsid · 09-02-2009, 01:28 PM

Hi Folks.

Please recommend a phone. Following details are for assistance:

Budget: Up to Rs.30,000

Requirements:

1. Email (Outlook & and other usual emails)
2. Internet Browsing (via GPRS / EDGE / 3G / WiFi) whichever is better.
3. Excellent scheduler
4. Great media handling capabilities
5. If it can create, edit excel files then better.

Current options are:

1. Blackberry Storm: The phone is awesome. But it does not have WiFi. Also the store guy told that the phone will not receive any files from other phones if the file has virus. He also said we can only edit excel files and not create it.

2. iPhone: Current favourite. The store guy said it has lifetime GPS and few other things. Need your comments and recommendations on iPhone. A friend works with a company on iPhone apps and he said he can get the iPhone to record videos and other things. So do mention the flaws of iPhone.

3. E71: Although strong as steel, somehow did not appeal. The screen is really small.

Kindly recommend a phone for the above said use. Cost not an issue.

Go for Iphone, except for point 5 it does all. iPhone has an excellent HTML client for Microsoft Exchange. It syncs calender, mails, phone book everything.

Wait for Nokia N97

And considering you want Touch Screen and third party apps, 5800 XpressMusic won't hurt either. What I like about it is the FREE music downloads from loads of artists. Its almost like a section of iTunes music store available for free.

And if BB Storm can only edit excel files, then keep a handful of empty excel files on your mobile. Open it, edit and save as something else.

Not being able to transfer a virus infected file is a GOOD thing for cryin out loud

IMO, Xperia Skucs. Its either the above three or HTC. And all those who have expressed desire to get a free E71, send me your contact so I can give it to you. You have spent valuable time and energy deviating off topic in a genuine query thread and you definitely deserve what you have requested.

^^Xperia sucks?? really..Okay..

OK man, lets get ontopic.

Here is a question for you: Do you REALLY want Touch Screen or will a Non-Touch Screen phone do ? Because N85 8GB is a good option in this budget feature-wise.
