I've been thinking of changing my mobile phone for the longest time now. I'm a Sony Ericsson user and haven't had much problems with their phones since I started oh-so long ago using the T-28 model, my first mobile phone.
Now, I'm presently using the Z510i, a lovely clam-shell phone that unfortunately gave me the white screen of death twice now. Meaning, I can receive calls and text messages, but can' seem to see who's sending them to me. It's just a white screen. SE service centre says it's some cable. It's still at the repair show now, but the repair costs are rather expensive because the warranty ran out last year.
Most handphones last about 2 years max, thereafter, either we get new ones to replace the old ones or they just slowly give you problems till they die a natural death, especially the Nokia phones. Sorry to all you Nokia fans, but it's a fact, their phone do start giving problems and dying out after about 2 years. Most of my friends have had that problem.
The next SE phone that caught my eye is the W910i. It's a slider phone and it seems to have won some sort of award as mentioned on the www.gsmarena.com website. I don't know if I should upgrade yet, but it's very tempting as the price plans are not overly expensive and falling with every month.
At the same time, ever since the company that I work for blocked access to ALL emails (Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail etc), Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and many, many other websites, I've been aching to get a Blackberry, so that my email can be retrieved instead of waiting till the end of the day at home. It's frustrating that I cannot receive personal emails and am only able to receive work emails from the office. There's absolutely no morale to work till the end of the day, no light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.
My friends recommended me the Blackberry Curve 8320. It's about the same price as the W910i, but might have to go a but pricier with the 'push' mail plan. I've never used a Blackberry before, but perhaps it's time to try and there's always a first time for everything.
There are of course pros and cons out there to both phones, but if anyone who visits this blog owns either of these models and can help me choose one of the other (not both!), I would appreciate any feedback in my comments section.
Thanks a bunch!

Hehe - I'm a Nokia fans - my 7610 has lasted 3 years and is still going strong!
I'm reluctant to use those slide and flip-flop phones as I have had bad experiences with the screen being "used up" after so many times.
I understand how you feel about not able to check your personal mail at work. It's just a pain. Look at it as a motivation for your to get through the day.
I've seen the W910i phone - the physical attributes are quite nice. Slim (I dislike bulky phones) despite it being a slide phone. Keypads are reasonably large.
I guess it depends on what you need. Do you really need a blackberry? A few of my friends are advocates of Sony Ericsson.
harlow... Millie here..
I have a friend who is using the Sony W910i.. she says its pretty good and it has not given her much problems as compared to her other nokia phones. Then again, this particular friend of mine who is VERY accident-prone tends to be careless with her phones. So if she says it is working well, i wld be inclined to believe her.
However, she did mention of a certain lag.. but as i was playing around with it, i did not find it a problem.. then again, i got a samsung phone which brings a whole new definition to the word LAG.
Personally, i would go with the Sony E. I am actually thinking of getting that phone myself. Oh yah, she says DUN GET THE RED ONE.. smth abt that model has some software problems *shrugs*
