Help!

Hey friends,

Fono, one of the many mobile phone outlets here are having a special offer, from the 6th of July to the 19th of July. I can trade in my old phone for a new one, and pay the price if the new phone costs more than my old one. I have the Nokia 7250i, and I am looking for the flip-phone ones. My only condition is that it has to be a Nokia one. H.A told me that none of the flip phones that Nokia currently offer are worthwhile. I wanted to ask anyone else out there who mght have had some experience with Nokia flip-phones, if you could please let me know which one is nice.

Here are my options:

Nokia 2650
Nokia 6170
Nokia 6260
Nokia 7200
Nokia 7270


I am not looking for a phone with a specialized camera, or bluetooth or other fancy extras. SMS and MMS are enough. A radio is a bonus.

UPDATE: I went into Fono today and they said my present phone, Nokia 7250i, which I had bought for Dhs1000, is only worth 275. So that means even if I get the nicest of phones, I will be expected to pay at least Dhs 600 plus. Since I cannot really afford to get something that expensive (and I am beginning to realize that I don't really need a new phone, I was just caught up in the frenzy of getting a new phone). So, there is another phone which I am beginning to fall in love with. It is Nokia 2650 It does not have a camera, radio or bluetooth and I personally don't care. I have a digital camera with me. I have my iPod. I don't even see how Bluetooth can change my life for the better. All I need is a phone which will make calls and send messages. So, do I keep my 7250i, or get this new really cute flip-phone. I know many people do not like the inside of it, but I am beginning to like it.

I have had a flat phone for a long time, I am in the mood for a flip phone. When they have the trade in thing going on next year, I'll take another model.

mansur, you're gonna have to wait if you want a good Nokia flip phone. They're yet to make one.

I'm a Nokia man myself. I tried Samsung and Ericsson but never been as satisfied with them. If you insist on a Nokia flipper then go for the 7270. Otherwise wait for the N90 which is coming soon. But be warned, it's not a small phone.

Ok, I think I have fallen in love with Nokia 2650. It may seem like I am demoting myself, since the first phone I had was Nokia 3310...so I am going back down to 2650. It's a flip phone, with absolutely no camera, no mms facility and no bluetooth. I figured, I never used the mms with the present phone, so why bother getting a phone with mms facility. Why not get one without the mms? 2650 looks really basic, but I think I am beginning to like it!
