I will buy a GSM phone for Christmas. Budget is ~$250. Looking for, in order of importance

* Slider > Bar (no clamshell)

* Build quality - metal case preferred

* Design - prefer straight lines and as uncluttered as possible (no full keyboard)

* Reception, audio quality, interface, battery life ...

* Camera/MP3 unneccessary

Current candidates: Samsung S7330, Samsung U700, LG KF700

That's definitely quite cluttered and not metal casing. Not a slider/bar phone either. -_-

NO LG thx. Horrible build quality + battery life. Nokia E71 for a PDA like phone.

If you dont want a keyboard and dont care about camera/mp3 why not just get a 10$ crappy one.

Seems like a gigantic waste of money to spend 250$.

Well, if there is something really well built and looks nice while costing less, I'd buy it

I've got an Sony Ericsson W890,

[image loading]


but it's a bar. Amazing phone though, fun to watch SC on.

My sister has a W910,

which is a slider, but it doesn't have a metal casing.

SE build quality is always very good though, my w890 is solid as hell, and I've dropped it, thrown it around, basically abused it in every way possible, and it hasn't affected it in the least.

Audio quality is good, reception seems good, interface is very easy and very responsive, like all SE phones. Battery lasts for about 9-10 days if you use it very little, and about 3-4 days if you use it a lot. Both of the phones have MP3 and cameras, although I think it's quite difficult to find phones that don't have those things these days.

The SE phones I've had recently are the most comfortable phones I've ever had. I like to think of them as all-round phones that are arguably (although I love conservative styling) less stylish than Samsungs, but more user friendly, less advanced than Nokias, but they are more practical, and in general they seem to do everything I could want them to do.

Nokia 6500 slider


Interface is very simple / intuitive.
Battery life is quite good.

Only cons : despite its metal look, it is actually quite fragile, and very susceptible to sand / salt / dirt / shock. (I am not a very caring person when it comes to phone, and my 6500 had disappointed me a bit on that regard)
Resistance ain't futile

Why does it have to look nice, you don't have to buy it dinner and make out with it, all you're probably gonna end up using it for is texting people gibberish while drunk anyway.

Get one of those construction phones or something :/. Hard to find a phone without 'clutter' these days.
