X8 or Razor II?

    Hey,

    I already have an android tablet and I like it.

    Anybody have any opinion on these two phones. Both roughly same price. I don't want to buy an expensive phone as I have a tendency of dropping phones. My current phone, Nokia 5530, has been dropped more times than I can count, and always works fine! Just want a "smarter" samrt phone :)

    I am on Meteor currently, but would be willing to switch to another provider.

    Thanks.

    My X8 took a few bumps from the floor.

    I arsed about with the software though and eventually it caved. I loved the phone though.

    Thanks. I will mainly use the phone for light gaming & twitter. I think I might go with the X8.

    Looking online, it says it only has 168MB RAM? Do you find it to be slow at multi-tasking etc?

    The Razor II has 512MB but a slower CPU (100MHz less).

    I dropped my Xperia X8 down a tiled staircase twice and not a bother on it still.

    It is still working away after two years, no scratches on the screen and never misses a beat.

    I've never broken a phone though so don't think I qualify as tough on phones.

    Yeah it's sluggish when multi-tasking to be honest.

    Thanks for the replies lads. Ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy Mini in carphone warehouse for €70. Happy with it so far :)
