Journal webhat's Journal: I want a new phone [Updated] 6

Journal by webhat on Thursday April 28, 2005 @07:27AM

I want a new phone, it has to have tri-band, bluetooth, good battery, and I have to be able to hack it. I don't want a camera, mp3 player, simlock, or any other none phone things. It can have internet, but I probably won't use it.

And most importantly it can absolutely not be ugly or impractical - which means I want Nokia like sms or should be able to hack it so it has the sms interface of a Nokia phone, as I am used to it - there are only really ugly phones on the market. I've been looking for 2 years without luck.

What phones do you use?

And if you had an unlimited budget, which I don't have, which phone would you upgrade to?

The reason I ask is because I think I'll buy one in one of those Far Easter countries I am going to visit.

Have had it for two years. Fine phone, but doesn't suit your needs since it doesn't have bluetooth. Hackability? Dunno... never tried. It should run Java programs, but I never bothered. I bought the USB data cable, so I can connect it to my PC (Mac not supported *sigh*)
The coolest phone I saw recently was bought by my dad: Siemens SF65 [siemens.de]. Still doesn't go with your requirements, but I think it's cool :-)

  My father has it and loves it, but to me typing an sms is just too much work. And as I sms converse all day long I just can't handle it. ;)

    I never had a problem. Some keys are a bit smaller, but once you're used to it ;-)

      I'll steel it from him, he's probably got himself a new phone with his evil new phone engineering schemes. He gets a new phone every 6 months...

I use the Nokia 6200. It doesn't do bluetooth, but otherwise it seems to fit your bill.

  I actually like this phone, it also allows me to attach my bluetooth plug to the bottom. It does have one slight problem I don't like the cursor key, but it's at least better that those damned stupid joysticks.

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
