Oooooh

I don't know when KPN Mobile is going to release this baby in the Netherlands but I'm pretty sure the Nec N412i is going to be my next mobile phone. Some months ago I even had the privilege to play with it for a couple of minutes. Meet the world's thinnest clamshell mobile!

I’m going back to Nokia. Really get sick with the terrible interfase of all the other.

Well, I know what you mean… I hated my Sony Ericsson as well and some other brands. But Nec is an exception. The i-mode line has a very nice and consistent interface. I don’t know if you’ve ever had a Nec but they’re definitely nice!

Nop, started of with a Nokia. After that I had a Sony Ericcson. Now I use a Siemens. And both will not be bought by me again.

It’s just something you need to find out yourself. The same as not ever buying a Fujitsu product again.

I quess everyone has different experiences when it comes to phones (and tech products in general). I never cared much for Nokia, and found Siemens’s menu superiour (I had a c35i). Hated SE’s menu structure though…

This phone looks pretty sweet…

Well Marco, I’ll take a look at it by the time you get it. Hopefully Vodafone drops some prices so I can make a switch to something better than my S65.

I am also a Nokia person, though I’ve been looking at the Samsung D600, which looks interesting. Not sure what I will do when it is time to renew my subscription.

And then there is me with my weird hate against any clamshell phone. I just don’t like em.

Clamshells have one HUGE advantage. Since I’m using clamshells I’ve never had any scratches on the displays anymore. Not even after 2 years of use. And they’re more compact as well. The D600 looks nice but the slide thing might be kinda fragile I think…. (could be wrong) and it has a very plastic-ish appearance. I actually held one 2 months ago. This Nec N412i is almost completely made out of metal. Very stylish and durable too.

OOEEEE, I want one! Gimme gimme gimme…
Well, the big problem is going to be a money issue, so I’ll guess I’ll stick with my Nec 401i… Pretty good phone though ;)

Well most of the time those clamshells models still have an antenna, making it the weakest point on the phone. And I do prefer to immediatelly see who is calling, so you would need two displays. One of them would get scratches on it I guess.

Looking at my phone, I don’t see any scratches on the display. So that would not be a reason for me to chose such a model.
