Mobile Model with these requirements. Wifi and vpn defi needed.(a satisfied N70 user)

[dabster]

I have very different requirements on phone that I want to buy next (have been using the reliable Nokia N70 - touchwood its working even now)


Must haves for me:

1. Wifi and cisco vpn client version should be available for phone. - Corp Email is necessity
2. Not bulky, no more dimensions than a N70. All these Galaxy S2 and android are just too much. Not looking for these.

Good to have:
1. Keypad is something I need, I am not yet convinced with SWYPE that is there in most of android devices.
2. iTunes podcasts - which is available on iPhone, I am not yet aware something like this is available for android devices.
3. A Decent Camera - N70 has a astonishing camera, which can churn out better image quality pics than most of nokia S40 devices launched even after N70.
4. I totally like N70's customizable options. everything is there with 1 key and bamm you are there. this hasn't been the case with android devices.
5.
I want reliability - no reboot needed - as I see reboot being needed on dell streak.



Has anybody similar requirements?
Any model from Samsung/Nokia/HTC 's stable which suffices these requirements?

See if you spend Rs.30000 to buy a phone you WONT get a phone the size of a N70. You would get 4 inch AMOLED awesomeness.


Most companies are trying to beat each other in size,specs,etc

on a funny note. I actually don't think those tiny keyapds on E series are any good for text/email. So I am gonna be finding wifi S60 nokia phones which have normal keypad.. Thanks for pointing these models /empirial/which kind of has these features

Then what you think is WRONG!!!
QWERTY keypads (esp. on E-Series) are far better than regular keypads, when it comes to text/mails

So I am gonna be finding wifi S60 nokia phones which have normal keypad..

Fine. But do remember that S60 is on brink of extinction!!!

he is talking about SlideOut QWERTY i guess. if he is not ok with a QWERTY bar phone & don't want a full touchscreen mobile, then he better do a manual search. cause i don't know whats left.

brink of extinction? from what i have seen, Nokia has released more S40 based mobile in recent times than S60. oh wait, only S60 mobile released this year is C5. correct me if i am wrong.

I am actually fine with touchscreen if i get convinced that they are quick enough for typing.. :/ - sadly my experience on a dell streak is that it is bulky and typing isn't quick on touch screen's. Does anybody agree or everybody is on android/iPhone wave.

E52 seems to be quite the thing that I want feature wise. - going to check this up.

E 52 - S60 phone - pricing 10.8 ebay - release date June 2009 - Anything newer we have from nokia here? this looks still good no doubt.

H/W keyboard is always better than touchscreen.

check Nokia E6 @ 15k.

SlideOut QWERTY???

Now, I'm sure he wasn't refering to E7

Actually, there are two of them - C5 and C5 5MP
According to me S60 is better suited for Non-TouchScreen phones. And all touchscreen phones now features either Anna or Belle.

Note : According to PhoneArena.com in 2016 the share of non touchscreen phones will be 3%

Lemme echo what Sam said -

echo "H/W keyboard is always better than touchscreen.";
?>

I'm on android but still prefer H/W keypad.
Glad I'm not a heavy TEXT-er!!!

Thanks guys, only phone that I am finding no fuss and simply right is E52. no qwerty keypad and has wifi and all features. Any newer models ? which are like this one ?

Re: Mobile Model with these requirements. Wifi and vpn defi needed.(a satisfied N70 u

as you don't want QWERTY or Touchscreen but ok with a normal keypad, go for it. or you may go for Nokia E55.

SlideOut QWERTY???

err, i mean the horizontal keypad. like C6/E7.

Actually, there are two of them - C5 and C5 5MP

yes. Symbian is best suited for non-touch use.

Note : According to PhoneArena.com in 2016 the share of non touchscreen phones will be 3%

that 3% will include my dad
