I'm looking at getting a spiffy new phone and I'm pretty much prepared to spend the cash for a top of the range phone, I'm after a 3G phone with touch screen and runs the android OS, (also must be available in New Zealand). Want as many features as possible Camera essential (though the quality can be crapish). I know I can Google but I want user opinions, sweet features is highest priority, web functionality second everything else is less important. Other phones that run on different OS's can be suggested but I am somewhat prejudiced against Apple. Thanks for the Help!
unfortunately the only phone thats currently out that runs android is the G1. you can find that unlocked on newegg if you want. personally im an iphone person but if youre interested in phones that run other oses too the top ones to look in to are the Nokia N97, the Blackberry storm (ive heard some bad things about it though) the HTC Tocuh Diamond 2 and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. there are many others but those are the only ones i can think of off the top of my head
Well there's this LG phone KP500, it's touch screen and everything, but I don't know if it's available in NZ. I think it's pretty good. Hong Kong has all sorts of phones even Japanese ones. Then again you can always just buy it from somewhere and use a NZ sim card. Do you mean to say you are looking for a phone that is available for sale at NZ? Or just a phone that WORKS at NZ? Good phones are usually in Asia xD I have lots to recommend if you clarify =)
The Samsuns instinct is not bad. It's what i currently have, touch-screen and all. Not sure if it's available in NZ.
Just buy a blackberry, I have the bold and its awesome for things like facebook updates, emails, msn, blackberry messenger, sms etc. Has a good range of applications as well. It pushes for updates on facebook n that lol which is cool.
I agree with Skyle. Get the blackberry bold. (One of the best blackberries right now!) I have one and its great. Mine supports wifi and the keyboard is nice and easy to use. I used to have a touchscreen and it was really difficult to type. Maybe my fingers were too big but it would constantly make mistakes. But if you like touchscreens, the iPhone is nice Although you said you have an aversion to apple products. IMO, iphone has a great web browser.
mmm, I know every1 is supposed to love the iphones and Blackberries, they are good phones I just don't like having the same brand of stuff as everyone else. That and I love google <3 it'll be a toss up between a blackberry/iphone or waiting for android to hit more phones. Thanks for the help Edit: Just saw moo's suggestion, Yeah I'm a native of Hong Kong and will probably go back there end of this year, its just I want a new phone now , I should probably wait!
Umm, you can probably get some good stuff iPhones, Blackberry, etc. I'd prefer the iPhone, and the old ones are pretty cheap now. They should still work pretty nice
Hey I live in New Zealand too! 8D But I'm not that knowledgeable about top of the range cellphones. But I do know that buying from TradeMe BRAND NEW is actually cheaper. I guess some good ones I can suggest are the iPhone, Blackberry, LG Prada, etc.
I don't know about getting android on it, but blackberries are nice and stable... hmm, would the plural of a blackberry phone be blackberries or blackberrys?
