Jimmyd Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'd like to upgrade to a new mobile phone. My two main criteria are the nicest camera available on a phone and long battery life. My price range is in the 10-20,000 baht area. Any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I can highly recommend the Sony Ericsson k790i which is what I have. It has a 3.2 MPixel Sony Cybershot camera with all the bells and whistles of a digital camera - auto focus, anti-shake, xenon flash etc. Also built in MP3 player, FM radio, GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth etc. Specs can be seen here > http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=glo...1&pid=10409 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Without a doubt the K790 or K800 (region dependant) is the best camera phone on the current market.. But if you can hold out a month or two you should see the K850i 5MP cybershot phone out from SE which ups the anti even further.. I fully expect this to be the same kind of quality as entry level point and shoot digi's. I am hanging on for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbeer Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 k790i or k800i. no doubt, the best cameras on phones. for everything else. Id rather buy the Nokia E61i. mainly for its voip capability through wi-fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasRanger Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The Nokia N73 has a great quality camera witha carl zeiss lens, but I wouldn't recommend the phone in general, it is buggy and tries to pack too much into itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keemao Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 nokia 6110 navigator.... good value, and has GPS covering all of thailand,. I've been using it, accurate and covers everywhere. even business locator included. It is worth buying just for this feature. But it has all the other nokia stuff too. only negative is the camera not too great (2mp). worth alook IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiksilva Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 For 24,000 (I know its a little over, perhaps wait a while?) the Nokia N95 has a 2 megapixel camera and a 5 megapixel camera and more features than you can shake a stick at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The Nokia N73 has a great quality camera witha carl zeiss lens, but I wouldn't recommend the phone in general, it is buggy and tries to pack too much into itself. Had one & got rid of it. Pretty screen but just way too buggy. The camera bugs annoyed me the most, to be honest, here's a list: - Takes a long time to enable camera even under normal circumstances. Subjects have likely left by the time the camera has started - Slider sensor flaky - my camera would often turn off towards the end because the phone thought I had moved the slider back to closed position. - Sometimes it takes for freakin-ever for the camera to start - The WORST one last: Camera loses auto-focus. I would often shoot 10 or more photos before noticing that the auto-focus had stopped working and the camera was now taking one blurry shot after another. This always happened when switching to close-up mode and back. But also happened sometimes for no reason. The only remedy was to restart the phone. Now once the camera was started and ready, and when it wasn't having the auto focus problem, it took pretty nice pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
