Hahah yeah I've considered those. As well as some Palm ones.
My lock-in period with Globe is expiring around October and I'm planning to make a switch to Smart. That's really why I'm considering a new handset.
[bitching]It's just annoying how these manufacturers simply sell the same product in different packages (i.e. a lot of them are running on the S60 OS) with only different combinations of locked and unlocked features. -_- And even though they can already implement certain features into current phones, they intentionally leave them out so that they can produce an "upgrade unit" (see 3660, E61i, etc.) later on, which is essentially the same thing even a year after, only that they can price it as if it were "new." The N95 is a phone that shows that if the manufacturer wanted to, they COULD cram all the features of all their phones into one (except maybe the battery life)... but it's freaking expensive.[/bitching]
LOL maybe i'll just have to wait until N95-like phones (hopefully with a QWERTY keyboard) become standard-issue. 2 years? Waaah!
