I've been Money Tipped!
Have had a Sony Ericsson K850i but everything has gone wrong with it, due another upgrade, considering SE W890i or Motorola Z10, Does anybody have either of these that can help me choose? Any other options welcome. I do not use web or games. Thanks in advance...

    The motorola appears to have better features than the Sony but my preference would be the Sony if I had to choose for myself.

    The motorola has mp4 video capability which can be useful if you want to play videos on a memory card and it supports lots of other formats whereas the sony does not.

    The sony has FM radio but Motorola doesnt seem to - so if you want a radio, the Sony.

    The motorola has a better screen than the Sony.

    I prefer non sliders now although I quite liked my last slider phone nokia 6280 (dont like the n95).

    So preference is the SE in this case - if you can try getting the Sony W910i (it looks better to me, whether it is better than the two you have selected is debateable).

    Thanks hotkee, was leaning towards the Sony, the problem i had with 850i was the keys not as responsive as my last Motorola, KRZR K1. Also Z10 had the Bourne Collection free, but the Sony had a 2gb memory card...

    hubby had the motorola Z8 which was the one before the Z10 and it was crap to put it mildly and now he has the the SE k850i which when dropped dislodges the internal speakers so he we could hear him but he couldn't hear us so now he is on the scrounge for my SE K800i which has been brilliant and i hope to upgrade next week and have been looking and think i will settle on the SE C902 ... he also had a big problem with the Z8 as it would freeze and not let you answer or end calls and the slider would stick
    :wink: while i knit i think
