nico_23 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hey, Sorry I'm a newbie here and an American. For Christmas, I'm buying one of my friends a cell phone but I'm not sure where to buy a cell phone compatible with Smart or Load cards. How can I tell if a phone is compatible with those cards? Also, can I buy a cell phone in the US that would work in Phili? Any special requirements unlocked etc etc. Sorry for this I really have no idea If anyone has a link, I'd really appreciate it also. Thanks all take care, Yes, you can buy a cellphone in the US that would work in Phil. as long as it is unlocked.. no special requirements..whatsoever.. about the cp.. i prefer.. SE ones..

orionpax Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) For those who are bothered by the crappyness, freezing & slow response of some N-Series phones (N70, N91 or N72 or even N73) you may try to look at the new Nokia 6120 classic.....small form factor, Micro SD, 2 MP Camera, Radio, USB port, light weight, runs on the same Series 60 Symbian 9.3 OS, fast response, has 3G and HSDPA or 3.5 G...IMHO this trumps all the handset models i mentioned (except N73's 3.2 MP Carl Zeiss Optics Camera with Autofocus)... and best of all..its CHEAP! less than 12K Edited December 2, 2007 by orionpax Quote Link to comment
Mang Joe Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 but in terms of PDA phones, which would be worth every penny? my officemate suggested the HTC TyTN II or the O2 Zinc...both ranging from 25-30k any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment

Be careful not to get a CDMA phone. That will not work here in Philippines. Make sure you get an OPENLINE (aka UNBRANDED) GSM phone that works on 900 MHz or 1800 MHz bands. Some carriers (including Canada and the United States) use the 850 MHz and 1900 MHz bands because the 900 and 1800 MHz frequency bands were already allocated, this phone won't work also.

id6230 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 If you buy one, look for the unlocked/openline cellphone. It will generally work. If you want to make sure it works, buy a smart or globe sim card in the U.S. You can order it through the net or asked a pinoy friend where to get it. Quote Link to comment

Video call works great (altough im using globe settings...) mine works na rin it's a very nice fone... ang reklamo ko lang is wala ung shortcut feature where you can assign certain options to your keys (shortcut+1 etc) tulad ng nasa v3i at L7... pero aside from that, got no complaints Quote Link to comment
elmer_fudge Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 i use a sony ericsson P1i. i love everything about the phone. :thumbsupsmiley: the business card scanner function is also a cool plus. but i find it very hard to text while driving. but so far, this is my fave phone.
