      I just got a Samsung Infuse. The most amazing smart-phone ever ! This phone has got a huge amount of screen real estate – it's sort of a smart-phone-tablet hybrid thing...but it fits in your pocket. It runs Android Froyo 2.2 but rumor says that it's upgradeable to Gingerbread. I'm willing to bet that this baby will make an iPhone hater out of you !

        As I mentioned on the Android thread, I now have a Samsung Infuse. I'm in LOVE. PS…I'm an ex iPhone4-user. No slams against Apple products...they are lovely. But I have a difficult time justifying Apple-fanaticism since I often code in Linux and love Linux. BSD Unix (Apple's shell) is not Linux. I will support open source any chance I get. That said, Android is no longer really open source...Google has closed it up pretty good. But it's definitely w-a-a-y more open than Apple...and one has hundreds more product choices available with Android.

          Mmm I was a bit rough on my 8220 pearl flip… I'm thinking of getting a Blackberry 9520 (Storm) - the other models are too big plus I like the big screen on the 9520. Too expensive for my likings in €urope, so might venture and import one from Hong-Kong lol... I know... Only an eejit would...

          Anyhow: anyone with a 9520 and (un)happy about it?.. Or anyone who knows where else to get a cheap, unlocked one (preferably AZERTY but doesn't have to be)?..

            Let me know if you need anything from HK - will fly into Germany by the end of next week…

              Well - is it possible to get new, unlocked 9520s there for cheap?.. Seems like a lot to ask, though…

                Most things new are slightly cheaper than in Europe just because of lower taxes alone…
                For most things Apple for example it works out like 100-150EUR cheaper than in European Apple online-stores (which very close or lower than US prices). Usually, phones are unlocked in HK.
                What's the regular/official price for a 9520s in your area? I can check on Monday when I go into HK again...

                  Hate phones and talking in general. I use iPhone 4, but long for the days of the pager…

                      If you can get a new one for say 200-250 €, then I'm game… They cost around 400 here... Unlocked, qwerty's ok, English menu; 'as about all I need really... If you're willing to check this for me, I'd have to rewrite my will...

                            I'ms eeing real cheap Storms on eBay.co.uk so maybe this won't be necessary, but hit me up with some general prices and we'll see, Foxy. I'd rather buy one from an actual store even if it IS located in Hong-Kong… Lotta sketchy things on eBay...

                                To be honest by modern standards a totally crap one, but it makes calls and sends texts (I hate texts) which is all I need. It does have the advantage of being very cheap though £5 a month on contract!

                                    I don't really need a smartphone - at all… I don't have a contract, don't go online on it, don't use Bluetooth, WiFi or GPS... And most of the time I feel as if it's too damn smart for my own good... But it looks good and it's fun to fool around with one...

                                      Hi Seul,
                                      Here are some links to the main chain stores showing their current offer and prices:
                                      http://www.broadway.com.hk/taxonomy/term/101%2C202
                                      http://www.fortress.com.hk/fortress/jsp/sys/Sf_render.jsp

                                      Tell me what you think regarding the prices?
                                      With your specific model I have to go and look around the physical store as it is considered antique by HK standards - maybe you want to upgrade, otherwise I would have to go for second hand one…

                                      Most mobiles are unlocked and without contract in HK.

                                        Haha kinda figured you wouldn't find the ancient model I happen to like… S'all good, I'll buy it new from the UK... Don't like those new(er) BBs... But thanks  A BUNCH for having a look for me, Foxy!..  😘

                                          It's a pity y'all couldn't watch me as I tried figuring out how to unlock (the screen) my new phone… As mine's ex-TIM (Italian network) the message was in Italian on how to unlock... Actually I just pressed all the buttons I could find and it worked, still not sure on how to actually do it... But at least I managed to change the language to English UK... I never set it to my mother language (Dutch) - seems so much more professional and real BIZ STYLE to have it in English  😛 Maybe I should set it in Chinese...

                                          Anyhow: I'm well stoked as it's easy to fool around with, it works exactly like my previous BB... AND it still fits in my leather IH pouch!..

                                            Oh - and if that looks like a kind of 'pro' set-up… The things between the two external HDs are children rubber stamps...
