Which T-mobile Phone?

Nwahs · #1 04-03-2007, 08:39 AM

So I am going to be buying a new T-mobile phone soon. I have it down to pretty much two or three choices.

It is either the Rizr, Krzr, or Nokia 5300

I don't have an Ipod and I refuse to buy one, so I use my phone as Mp3 player too. The Nokia 5300 looks pretty good, I got to say. But only for music. I don't like the design all that much. As long as the key pad is better then my T809 for texting, I'll be ok. What do you all think?

For me, to upgrade, here are the prices:

Nokia 5300: $119.99
Motorola Rizr: $149.99
Motorola Krzr: $199.99

Pretty much as long as the Krzr is that much, I'm not going to get it.

I'd have to go with the 5300.

The screen on the RIZR and KRZR is too small for my liking.

Why limit yourself to a T-Mobil phone. Any unlocked. GMS phone will do. I paid 70 dollars for an unlocked C261 and 10 dollars for a SIM and $10 access time. This gave me three months of service and all the T-Mobil was I can eat.

Because he gets the upgrade discount and an MP3 phone which the c261 and other phones alng that line are not.

Yeah, my upgrade prices are not great, but not bad. Plus for a phone with a fair camera, usable MP3 player, and fair battery would be too much for me.
I think once I figure out how to flash/unbrand the 5300, I'll buy it.
It seems cheep, but thats ok because the mp3 player seems nice. I hope the battery is not too bad though....I really want a phone with a great battery.

Phonescoop now has a full review with pics of 5300.

I'm all for the 5300....my only concerns has been battery life, feedback on all the phones has been mixed. People seem to love the 5300 yet we get a large number of returns and I can't figure out why people seem to dislike the phone.

The krzr has the best camera of the bunch, nothing can be said about the rizr camera except its truly disappointing. Still, these phones suffer from typical Motorola lag and heavy texters will be disappointed at how slow these two phones operate.

My vote is 5300 and watch your battery life.

There is no free lunch. Pay them now or pay them later.

I think these phone are good.Nokia 5300 is my favorite because of it's battery life.I don't have idea about other phones but this one has been bought by my friend and he is quite happy with that.
