    as above,

    i dont like touchscreen phones,or qwerty keypads,or androids .,

    i currently have a sony ericsson w995, i love the phone, its on its way out though because of old age..

    im looking for a similar type phone, needs to have the following

    good camera
    good storage , minimum 8gb
    good music playing ability
    and be long lasting, i.e wont break easy through normal wear and tear

    any help will be thanked, i havent kept up with any new phones really since i was happy with the w995.

    thanks

    How about a Nokia C5? No touch screen. Just a bar phone. Camera isnt the best but you do get expandable storage for your music. Most of the best music players i know is on a touch screen phone :)

    Doesn't seem to be any button high end phones anymore. Next best is something like a QUERTY or move to a lower spec phone.

    This: Nokia C5
    This: Nokia C3-01

    There doesn't seem to be anything at a higher end than that really, unless you go touchscreen or QWERTY i'm afraid...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,056 ✭✭✭✭BostonB


    C3-01 is touch screen. C5 has no WiFi for example.


    If you will go to qwerty you have some options. E5, Blackberries etc.

    Theres the E6 but it has a touch screen and no autofocus.

    thanks alot peeps, was on ebay, anyone of ye ever have the nokia n97. n96?

    would you rate them?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,056 ✭✭✭✭BostonB


    N97 is meant to be terrible. Its touch screen no buttons though.

    N96 is probably older than your W995 and a worse spec.

    Probably look for a W995 on ebay if I was you. Theres a few used ones on Adverts.ie.
