iPhone, it sounds like a overhyped and overpriced POS that will surely attract a large part of the brainless iPod-user market. They know they can make this thing expensive, just because it's an Apple. I'm looking forward to how it performs, I heard it lacks a lot on some parts. So currently, I'm just looking at the Chinese iPhone ''clone'' by Meizu.

@ Mopar: That's one of the most attractive flip phones I've seen, good on you.

Who wants an alternative to iPhone (with a matching price though):

Prada Anyone?

I saw the LG Prada at a store a few weeks back. I must admit, it was a lot smaller than I thought and definitely a lot sexier. While I did hold it, it wasn't turned on so I couldn't play around with it.

Where in Canada do you live? The only phones in my Rogers showrooms are RAZRs and Chocolates that aren't even real (Just the frame to see the size of it).

Anyone here have a Motorola KRZR? I'm considering buying one but I heard the glass breaks easily and it isn't that great of a phone.

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 23 Jun 2007, 01:29

The LG Prada cannot be found at a carrier store because the phone doesn't have a carrier. I don't buy lame plans from companies...I go to real stores sellin' the awesome phones being brought from other parts of the world who actually value the quality of the cellphone.

Honestly, what the Canadian carriers offer is just pure poor quality, cheap, lame phones....I guess there just isn't a market for classy phones in North America.

You can buy the phones off the net or visit specialty shops. A good place is Pacific Mall in Markham. Sure the place is Asian and I don't fit in 'cause I'm Euro but there are at least 10 cellphone stores in there who have the latest models for you to drool over and touch.

Well I agree with you, Canadian carriers have such poor phones, and that's why I'm trying to find a phone that can double up as an mp3 player that doesn't take much room in my pockets (Possibly less than 18 mm thick). That's where eBay comes in.

There's so many phones out there to choose from, but the real thin ones are extremely pricey at around $350 (with shipping) for something like the amazing Samsung U600 (10.9 mm slider) which I'm still doubtful about due to the price:

There's also the Samsung D900, which is slightly cheaper at around $310 with shipping but is 12 mm. I don't mind the size, so it is probably a safer bet for me:

Then there is the Motorola RAZR maxx V6 which offers a lot of extra features the normal RAZR doesn't but at a price of around $320. It also looks a lot better than the original RAZR, but it doesn't have enough extra features to justify it's extreme price in my opinion:

Lastly, there is the PDA phone, the Motorola ROKR E6. Other than the fact that I dislike the way calls are dialed, it is a decent phone but I don't think it fits my needs:

Anyone have cheaper alternatives that are just as reliable? I don't really care much about the camera, as long as it's better than 1 megapixel and internal memory isn't an issue though the kind of phone I want needs to have a slot for SD cards. And as said before, preferably under 18 mm thick.

P.S. - I've just searched up a few Motorola phones and found that the Motorola RIZR Z3 is an affordable alternative at approximately $240 with shipping.

My SLVR has a built in .MP player, is pretty small, and only cost $60. But you have to buy a memory chip to stor your music on separately, and the software to sync your phone to your computer, which is about an extra $60.

350 is actually quite cheap.....the phone I want is about 450 and the Prada is around 750.

Porsche-AG · Post by **Porsche-AG** » 23 Jun 2007, 06:34

Well I don't need anything fancy, just something small and reliable. I'm also considering buying an ultra thin phone like the Samsung X820 and a small 1 GB mp3 player as it would still be cheaper at around $270 for both. Plus, I wouldn't need to buy extra headphones or an SD card.

Why don't you consider a RAZR2, I heard those are pretty awesome and packed with features

There's always the Samsung Ultra Music edition. The one which Beyonce was advertising on.

Honestly, personally I don't like those ultra, uber thin Samsung phones. It's like looking at a skinny anorexic model. Much like a girl, I agree that they must be thin and not bloated but damn, there's a limit and if they're too thin (like the Samsung), it just looks scary.

Oh gosh! You're soooo right! I barely paid attenton to the models in the commercials until I watched them again over at YouTube. Haha!
