*MuSlIm* 0 Posted November 5, 2005 :D Which is the best mobile phone to buy? Or: where can I get a good deal? :D :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abu Ruqqayah 0 Posted November 5, 2005 (edited) Assalamu'Alikum, Ukthi i worked in the mobile industry for over 4 years so i have a fairly good understanding of Mobile phones, Alhumdullilah. I would recomend these sites... www.chatterbox(contact admin if its a beneficial link) and www.onestopphoneshop(contact admin if its a beneficial link) These two normally do the best deals. Regarding which phone is the best. This all comes down to personal preferences. It all depends what you want from a phone. These are some mobile phones you might want to look into: Sony Ericsson P910, Sony Ericsson W800i, Sony Ericsson K750i, Nokia N70, Nokia 6230i, and Samsung D600/D500(older model). I am sure there are more decent phones, but the ones above have most features people look for. I hope that has helped you. Fee Amanillah.

Abu Ruqqayah 0 Posted November 5, 2005 Assalamu'Alikum, Also there are many PDA type of phones, O2 XDA2, T-Mobile MDA and so forth. These are really good...but some might say hard to use or a lil too big for some people liking. Fee Amanillah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*MuSlIm* 0 Posted November 5, 2005 (edited) :D :D brother. I'll definitely look at those sites, :D I'm not too fussed about it being brand new or having all sorts of funny gadgets, I just want a reliable phone. :D :D Edited November 5, 2005 by *MuSlIm* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*MuSlIm* 0 Posted November 11, 2005 :D Really? :D I don't know: I had a good look through those sites but couldn't find anything as cheap as that one? A friend recommended the above website. 18 month contract/half price line rental/free minutes/free texts/cashback...So many deals, its so confusing :D :D :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muslimah_uk 0 Posted November 11, 2005 Someone mentioned the samsung D500, i wouldnt recommend that. i have it, and the screen went. luckily i had insured it for a year so i took it back to carphonewarehouse and they sorted it for me. the same thing happened to someone else i know with the same type of phone. apparently its a software problem in one batch of D500 phones made, but its made me abit uncertain about the phone now. otherwise its features etc are alright.

emel 0 Posted November 12, 2005 Assalamu'Alikum, Sister emel, what would you like from a new contract? Fee Amanillah. Wa Alaikumu salam, Well I was on 3 for the last year, I had 500mins anytime xnet, and 100 txts per month for £15. That was a really good deal, but I really don't like 3, I had so many problems with no network coverage, my LG phone spent half od its time in the repair shop, so i really don't want to go there again even if they do have the best deals. I need around 300txts, and 300 mins xnet (peak or off-peak) and have a budget of £30 a month. I know its a toughie, but any help would be greatly appreciated, Jazakallahu kul kheir brother.

Insignia of Islam 0 Posted November 12, 2005 Salaam, Anyone know when the Sony Ericsson W900i walkman phone will hit the shops? I can't wait for it. Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abu Ruqqayah 0 Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) Assalamu'Alikum, Ukthi these deals are great...and nearly EXACTLY what you asked for... (www.)"you can't post links until you reach 50 posts_shop.o2.co.uk/shop/o2uk/jsp/handsets/viewHandsetDetails.jsp?prodID=consumer:SAM:D600:Onlin00:Package"]O2 Deal[/url] This deal gives you either 400 mins and 150 txts OR the better on(for you) 300 mins and 750 Txts!! or (www.)"you can't post links until you reach 50 posts_shop.orange.co.uk/shop/yourplan/online"]Orange Deal[/url] 200 Mins and 500 Txts. As you are paying a decent amonut a month, you should get a good phone for free. I upgraded my contract today and got a Nokia N70, its eems really cool. Fee Amanillah.

Abdurahman 0 Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) :D brother ehsan or anyone else, would you recommend the motorola v3, iam thinking of buying it, whats good and bad about it? i have heard a lot of bad things about it. jazakallah khair :D Edited November 28, 2005 by Abdurahman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abu Ruqqayah 0 Posted December 4, 2005 Assalamu'Alikum, I have had the V3 before. It is a ok phone. It looks nice and its works. The User Interface is a little annoying...not very user friendly. The camera is good but apart from that its not the best phone to get. It is alos very easily scratchable and easy to damage if dropped!! I can't unlock this phone but regular shops can.

Chebeya 0 Posted December 19, 2005 Assalmu Alakum, I think it depends on where you live. In the US, verison wireless are the best phones because they can practically be used all over america. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
