Hey Guys,

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I'm stuck between buying a couple of things, and I'm not sure which one to get....

So, the things which i have to choose between are:

1. iTouch

• Pros: Well, overall it's good. I like the new WiFi, and the Touchscreen capabilities and all
• Con: The Size, it only allows me to store up to 16GB of song/photos/vid

2. iPod

• Pros: Well, once again, the size is it's biggest pro here, it allows me to store up 2 160gb (which i probably wont need) but it sill is better and more flexible than the 16gb
• Con: It has no WiFi.

3. Sony Ericsson K770

• Pros: It has a decent camera, and the buttons are nicely arranged. and of appropriate size.
• Con: It looks like the screen and it's display is rather small

4. Sony Ericsson K850

• Pros: It has an excelent camera, nice big display, and functions
• Con: The buttons are small, and the 4-way navigator is oddly placed

5. Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T200

• Pros: Excelent functions, great MegaPixels, Anti-Shake, Slim small n good
• Con: Only touch screen, and LED display.

6. Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W35

• Pros: Great camera, nice zoom, antishake, and functions
• Con: LED display is a little small

Well, i've wanted a camera for quite some time, but then im afraid i wont use it as much as i should

New phone? I think it's about time, and they seem good for their Music and Camera, however if i want music why not just go with the Ipod or Itouch

If i go with the iPod or the iTouch, then i will be loosing out on the camera, but then i will get WiFi. That's only if i forfeit the space...

Arggg Dilema.

Halp plz

i'd go for one of the phones if you really want a multifunctional object

Save your money and buy a nice shiny gun.

They're a lot more fun.

Yeah.... but my K750 is still... well... let's just say it's not a pile of scrap on the floor just yet... I mean, it's still functional...

But i dono, i want the music or the Camera... ARGGG

So confused.

well i have a camera, but i very, very rarely use it. was fun taking some pics
at first, try stuff out, but i got bored of it soon after i bought it n now its just
waiting for me to go on a holiday again.

so music/camera, personally i would go for music. i listen to music more than
i take pictures..

i would go for the Ipod i think xD

and yeah always wanted a camera and when bought one for pretty much alot more than 1000$ , ive never used it , still lays somewhere in my room :p

I would not get the iphone cus I was watching this TV program called "the gadget show" comes on UK TV and it was saying that the iphone camera is 5 years old and the video quality is terrible but apart from that everything else is good.

I wud go for the Erricson k850

It's not the iPhone. The iTouch is different

i guess ull need to choose wether u take iTouch or something else, besides is it impossible to switch memory card/chip or whatever in it? i mean u could always buy a spare one just in case u need more harddrive memory ;P

Just buy an IPAQ or some other multifunctional pda/phone. You can use as phone, change sd cards up to 4 gig with plenty of music, only the camera would suck

The mio a701 is also very good (pda/phone, with gps) or you can buy the htc-p3300 (pda/phone with wifi and gps)

There are other but they are more pricy

mio a701

i c wow I didn't know that hmm it seems apple has been busy lol

Indeed a dilemma lol.

I guess I'd go for the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W35.
But it's kind of a personal choice I guess.

Phones and music stuff are all nice, but then again:
A phone is for calling. I have an older Sony Ericsson, doesnt have the leetest goods, but hey, I can call with it. Same for the music. Why the hell would I pay much for 2GB of music? Like I'm going to listen to all the 9374019437134 songs I can stuff on there. The Packard Bell Audiokey who's completely falling apart is somehow still working with its 256mb more than enough.

I suggest just thinking what you need most and what you don't need as much. Then get the thing you need or want the most first and then the other stuff. :3

I can see where you guys are coming from....

so have u decided yet?

i dont know about cameras , as i dont really know you, and what are u doing in your life :p , if ur travelling alot why not, but if not well u could do a porn movie than

Nope,

I am still undecided.... Just i see what you guys are saying about Cameras.

The K850 cellphone is pretty damn good, I thought it'd be fragile and kinda frustrating to use but it's quite simple once you're familiar with it, you can take pictures with very igh resolution and it's system rules. Plus, like a week ago it fell downstairs and I it just got a tiny scratch ^-^

it's much i dont read things about cell's and mp3's...so i cant suggest u anything of them


why don't you buy the iPhone?xDmy brother got it and..wtf its cool cost much but its a cool thing xD

How is the Navigation? and the buttons, the fact that they are only "stubs" Does it get annoying?

Cellphone = camera + phone + music in one!!!!!

easy choice

eenie meenie miinie moo ftw!!

Nah man, at first it can be a bit frustrating but as I said before once you're used to it you'll find it pretty easy to use, and the navigation is alike with previous versions: it could be better

SE K850 !

Music + 5 mp pics + video's + games.

You'll love it

Ipod classic.

have it, love it.

just like 1/3 of the world. Touch is shit, believe me. Theres an apple store across the street from where i work, i can still here people screaming when i'm in bed at night.

3. Sony Ericsson K770





^ definitely this one.

I would go with the Sony, but then again i absolutely hate anything thats apple.

I love my phone, I love my camera, and I love my ipod.

Phones are great for calling, and only calling. The image quality will never be great, but it's useful to have. IMO, the only reason you would want a camera, apart from being a professional, is for the functionality. I would stick with your current phone, assuming it has a camera. The picture quality doesn't matter - you're not mounting a professional portfolio right?

I love my camera, but it's a waste. Since phones came out with cameras, i've had no use for my digicam.

And finally, I love my ipod. Having a phone that can hold MP3 is a fun idea, but in practice it isn't as performant as an iPod. They don't hold enough memory, there isn't enough software support, the quality can't be as great as on an iPod because of the size limitations, the video quality sucks (if you can even manage to fit one on there!) and the screen is small. Not to mention, it's annoying to have to switch back and forth between my text messaging and phone whilst i'm browsing through music looking for a song.

With that said, keep the phone you have now for calling. If it doesn't have a camera, upgrade to one of those $20 phones that come with a basic camera and buy an iTouch. Why itouch > ipod? iTouch looks damn cool. The WiFi would be a great feature, and the only downside is size. When were talking about 16gb, it's not like were talking about a couple dozen songs. Were talking about hundreds and maybe even thousands (depending on compression). Unless you have a massive library, you wouldn't have a problem. And even if you did, you wouldn't need to change the songs that often with the amount you can carry (unlike a cellphone).

16gb = ~2500 songs.
