  1. Small, handy touchscreen. Hmm id be going for nokia. You have the 5800, 5530 or 5230. All nice and pocketable (as well as cheap). All 3 are esentially the same phone with a mix match of the same features. The 5800 has it all (wifi, gps, hdspa and all of the other bells and whistles. Screen size 3.5 inch). The 5530 drops the screen size to 2.9 inch and loses the gps but is thinner and a little more girly). The 5230 looks the same as the 5800 but drops the WiFi and also has interchangable rear covers so that the color can be changed.

    All 3 are touchscreen smartphones with access to the ovi store for apps and 2 of them come with free voice guided navigation.

    Yea, I'm thinking about Nokia too. Cause I'm not liking what I'm seeing on the HTC, except for the HD2 and the Hero which are too big. She's not a stylus fan, but she'll need it with HTC's WM devices...not cool.
    I'm gonna look into those Nokia phones, the navigation is cool, and they have recently released a fully free navigation program for Iran and Tehran, which is accurate and cool.
    The 5800 is nice, a bit old tho compared to what I was looking at from HTC, and it being cheap worries me, I don't want her to think that I tried to go cheap. The Yari would cost me around (converting to USD) $250, I had planned to spend around 600-700 for the phones, so the other could go up to 450 (like the Diamond2...but I don't like it!). The 5800 is even cheaper than the Tattoo here! The N97mini is newer and pricier...but I'm not sure about the keyboard, having a keyboard is nice, but it makes it too big.

    EDIT: wow, I like the looks and size of the 5530. And it's new enough, it's perfect except for the no-gps thing. I hear there are hands-free headphones that add GPS hardware to the phones, is that true? Do they work with the 5530?

    And Drew, yep, I'm sure about the Yari, it's a good phone with great features.

    I guess after all what matters, is it being not too old, at least released in 2009.
  3. Good value would be a better term for the 5800 than cheap. 90% of the functionality of the n97 mini for a third of the cost. There's also the x6 which is basically the mew 5800. Expensive though for little extra function

    Yea, good point. I saw the X6 too, nope, it's bigger, and the price is too much for the budget I described. Alright, I'll see what I can do, will be going shopping in 10 days, got time till then.

    X6 is too big for modern day smarthphones imo. Enjoying the 5800 for already a year know, great phone it is
  8. Good, it should be on public display

    I can recommend you Nokia any day


  9. As I said, I like the 5800 for the features and the keyboard-less-ness which makes it smaller, but it's old, I would prefer to go with the N97mini, but it is big, don't know if it can be used as a feminine phone.
  10. Here the biggest phones are owned by women. Blackberry's, Nokia E-series, etc. They seem very popular here. Just depends on her taste.

    True. Phones are very personal stuff, I might get her the Yari and the N97mini and then explain to her the reasons behind it, and if she doesn't like the model, we go and change it...I'm trying my best to avoid that tho. I'm supposed to know her taste! And I do know it, I just can't find it Will look around in stores as well, I think I've done enough internet research.

    N97 mini is no bigger In the hand that a 5800. It's actuslly nicer to hold too due to its metalic components. The kryboard isn't worth the price increase over the 5800 though.
