    Experience with brand: My Ericsson A2618s has about 30 hours of standby battery life (fully charged -> low battery alert) instead of the 200 hours it's supposed to have. Remind me to get it looked at one day... Apart from that - um - problem (?), it's a great phone for the price (not that that's necesserily relevent here)

    Wouldn't you consider going for choice C? A nice Nokia 8310?



    I just bought one and it's fantastic.

    Any Nokia phone is good 'cause you can put Big Pimpin' as your ring tone. But they don't have wireless web, do they?

    Have you used GPRS? Is it fast? Expensive?

    It's faster than WAP, quite expensive and there's not much content worth looking at.



    All in all not worth it really. The phone is great though.

    Does your service allow you to dial up over GPRS? If it's not too expensive, I can see it being very useful for surfing and collecting mail.

    Yeah I think it does. I have an iBook 500 at them moment so i have no ir port to test it with. Going to buy a TiBook after MWT.

    Oooh, make sure and give us a report!



    Even if GPRS just matches modem rates in actual use, it's got to be better than hunting down a free phone jack or internet cafe when you're traveling. And it has to be better than surfing at 9.6kbps.



    Didn't someone from Nokia post here saying they were working on USB data cables for phones? Wonder whatever happened to that idea? <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

    get a Nokia... any other phone sucks terribly. One of my best friends works at Moto and even he admits their interface is terrible. Unless Apple makes a new interface for gsms I will always stick with Nokia...





    PS I have the 3330 (wap) and love it...

    I like the ones with little bells on them...



    ... oh THAT sort of mobile, sorry.



    Have you thought about a smartphone? Handspring Treo, Samsung i300? They're pretty darn handy if you use your mobile as your main phone... sync your phone to your Mac!
