| 426650 | 2006-02-05 22:41:00 | I think the japs have a next generation CDMA network. An old CDMA network like Telecom's one is inferior to GSM. CAmera quality still isn't up to scratch like gsm mobiles. What does camera quality have to do with the network? Are you saying that a camera phone that has the same model on both GSM & CDMA would take better pictures on the GSM version? |

Are there even any CDMA phones with 2MP cameras available in New Zealand? | maccrazy (6741) | ||

| 426653 | 2006-02-05 23:43:00 | Well spotted, I actually remember seeing that one in an ad now and commenting "oh, look Telecom finally got a good phone". It doesn't look too bad (I can't actually find any sample photos from the camera to judge the quality), but at $799 it does have a lot of competition (eg. Samsung D600 @ $700 on Vodafone's network or the Sony Ericsson K750i @ ~$620 - has a lower res screen though). If think we have kind of gone off topic here though. Lets head back to the <$200 range Tony is in the market for. :) |

Sony Ericsson cameras are better than nokia camera apparently.The auto focus really helps. |

| 426656 | 2006-02-06 05:10:00 | The only thing I do not like about the phone is the external aerial. What's not to like Jen? If you didn't read the manual you'd never know it was there, and you don't have to use it anyway. I have yet to find a location where I need to use it (including my foil-backed gib office which was dead as a dodo on 025). Secondly, it is a major advantage if you want low-radiation levels into your head, because extending the aerialallows the cellphone to operate at lower power levels due to more efficient transmission. See this morning's Herald for the latest on malignant and non-malignant tumours in heavy cellphone users. It is no joke, these phones whack out a lot of energy and a fair proportion gets coupled to your brain. It is accepted knowledge that extended cellphone use heats up your brain, and digital phones are far worse than analogue, being capable of almost twice the power output. I'd be careful texting on your lap too, it's OK to enter text down there but I'd lift it up from your reproductive regions before pressing send. I've benn around RF transmitters all my working life and I'm not paranoid about it, but I use my cellphone as little as possible and I stuck to analogue until the coverage became unusable.

If I heavily used my phone for voice calls I'd definitely buy one. | maccrazy (6741) | ||

No BT & wired users are a rarity in NZ, I see them in the US but I can't remember when I last saw one here. Anyway, if adults don't, can you imagine heavy-user kiwi kids using a BT headset? Some of them live on their cellphones, and never mind just having two for texting, I've seen kids talking on two at once. The dangers are for real, and another 10 years will let us really see the size and severity of the problem. I don't intend to be one of the victims, and my kids are well aware of the risks as well.

| 426659 | 2006-02-06 08:15:00 | I have a bluetooth headset however while i was walking down the street everybody was asking me what it was.It was really strange.I thought that everyone would know what it was. | Ninjabear (2948) | ||
