I bought this phone back in 2005, this summer it'll be three years ago. It's been holding on good. A couple of scratches here and there, but vital externals like the key, plus internal vitals like the system routine itself, still works fine. I havn't felt the need for something more advanced. I can even connect this phone to my computem (over the COM-port) and get online.
This feels like being back on a 28.8kbps modem, but it's still a cool feature for one who doesn't have DSL or other high-speed connection. Not until now. Since this phone has been good to me, always, I feel an invisible urge for another Samsung phone. However, I'm aware that SonyEricsson [still] holds the best battery standby. So, I'm thinking about something not too fancy, but still OK.
So, the SonyEricsson S500i has had great reviews all over the net, and seems really ok. The external memory card slot is an important feature, having it seems to open just about endless possibilities. The slim design is fairly good.
The built-in camera with 2 megapixels seems flawless. I have a digital camera (KonicaMinolta X60 / 5 MP) which is a couple of years old, but I never(!) use more than the second lowest resolution on the pictures anyways, so a top limit of 2 megapixels will be fine. Besides that, the possibility of snapping a photo whenever an opportunity gets up - awsome!
The other option is the SonyEricsson Z320i. The built-in camera on this phone is only(?) 1,3 megapixels, but that's fairly enough, really. My fiancé had a Z310i (which unfortunately got stolen), and she was pleased, only that she thought that the speaker volume was a bit low. Of course I will find out if this possible "bug" is fixed in the Z320i before buying it.
Anyways, I've just reach the thinking-about-phase, so it'll probably take some time (a couple of more years? ;D) until I actually go buy myself something new.
