I have been looking at some new cheapo phones from Nokia that promise good talktimes. 
v.i.z. 1650, 2630, 2760.
The 1650 claims upto 8hrs talktime but is a Series 30 phone :S and is only EGSM 900/1800 MHz while the other two are S40.
WTH is series 30 :S - can't seem to find what that is. :ashamed:
Any phone we know that is S30??
S40 was a good to use interface iirc- 6230/6230i were that i think. :ashamed:
Was also looking at clamshells and the 2760 looked mighty impressive just for talk and text purposes.
But have read a few reports of ring volume, speaker volume, call connectivity and network reception issues.
So frustrating after i almost decided for it.
1650 is in the lead at the moment as it's cheap (FM too :O), great talk time, colour screen, decent to look at(else that 1208 was OK but hardly a difference in price iirc).
But wasn't sure if these cheapo phones from Nokia are reliable.
What if the 1650 has a low ring volume and network issues- i am not in a position to take a gamble with my money even if these are not very expensive.
(Coz if i had the moni, E51 it was for me. :rofl
Also had a dekko at the SE Z530i and Z550i specs long back- 550 has better cam and looks and feel but 530 had way better talktime- they just might be cheaper now.
What to do??
