What do you want the phone to do for you apart from make and rec calls?

Just a word of warning when purchasing new phone: Some of the small stalls that sell mobiles also deal in second hand phones, and have been known to sell second hand phones as new, especially those stalls in the MBK. The dealers only make about 300bht or so on each new phone sold, and they make an extra 1000bht plus if they sell old phones as new. Also, with such a small profit margin, there's very little room for haggling, so you can get the same price at a supermarket or reputable chain.

you might want to have a look through the threads discussing GPRS and EDGE before you decide on a phone. The ability to access the internet through your phone most places in thailand at a reasonable rate can be quite handy.

At least i can access email when away. Got a free blue tooth for car all for €99 plus free insurance for one year.

Assuming it is the same type of memory

Just got a 6230 myself in the UK. And can get a 512Mb Memory card for £33 delivered - so will be upgrading really soon. Handy for those little spur of the moment videos one wants to make

[simcity]

Myself I am looking for a phone , my 8850 is making strange sounds and lost the time !! I do not want camera / music , just a smart phone ..

Looking at the 8910i , but not sure yet ..

Any ideas ? do not need to be a nokia …

How much is the 6630 compared to the 6230 in LoS?

The 6630 is about 21,000 baht, I got a 6230 for 13,800 recently but some stores are a bit higher. One annoyance with the 6630 is that it apparently uses a different kind of flash memory - Dual Voltage Reduced Size Multimedia Cards (DVRS-MMC) !!!!!

(Which you can't buy anywhere - yet).

There's a good post about the 6630's shortcomings here or you can read my much less good about it here. I think you can get a Bluetooth keyboard to go with it, which might be sort of useful. If you're a geek

[udon]

Si, thanks for that excellent info on your site. I'll stay with the 6230.

I'll let "Wash" know abt yr site too, he's a fan of the 6230 also.

What part of Aus r u from?

[Crushdepth]

No problem. I'm from Canberra...but not many people admit to that

[udon]

You are right about that

[Bizz]

Still havent got the info on memory can i upgrade in BKK WHERE AND HOW MUCH.

Krider where did you order the memery from at £33 sterling thats about €47.

Will be in BKK next week can i get it there people.

I was just wondering if anyone has seen the nokia 6131 in any stores yet in thailand? I have been asking at the nokia shop here in pattaya but I just get a blank look. Its on the nokia thai web site so it should be here.

[Phil Conners]

How about a Nokia 770 - the only Nokia mobile that's not ... a phone

I always used an old Ericsson T-39. Unfortunately I lost it. I loved that phone. I went out and bought a new Nokia with a camera, memory card and all the goodies. I hated it. The good part is that my wife loved the new Nokia. I traded for her old Nokia and didn't like that either. I'm so used to using a clam shell phone that nothing else feels right. I bought a Siemens clam shell and other than battery life I like it fine. I don't need a camera or much of anything else. My phone is to talk with and as long as it does that well nothing else is needed.
