Hi everyone,
We hear a great deal about mobile phones that talk, but little to
nothing about ones with good displays. I wonder does anyone have any
thoughts on this subject.
I've got a very old Motorola phone with an LCD display, but it does
have a nice keypad. I've recently been trying to find a replacement
which will have an equally good keypad, but a much better display. The
best one I've seen to date is the Samsung D410, which has a clear and
good-sized screen and good control of font size.
I have a contract phone from Vodafone, but they can't supply that
particular Samsung and they have no reasonable alternative. I'd like to
stick with Vodafone if I can as I've been with them for nearly ten
years. I therefore need to find a "box only" phone that meets my needs
and into which I can put my existing SIMM card. I don't mind buying the
new phone, though not at the £350 being charged by The Link for the D410.
I don't want a talking phone as I can still use the display if it is
good enough.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Brendan.
