Looking for 2nd hand moblogging tool
I want a 2nd hand phone just to do mobile blogging.
Very simple requirements really.
- Device must be pocketable
- Easy to type text on
- Has good camera
- Have 3G or EDGE internet connection
Currently thinking of either the Nokia E61i or Sony Experia X1.
Both have Qwerty keyboards which is more convenient compared to using number keypads on a phone.
The Nokia E61i is kind of old but like most Nokia phones has a high 2nd value compared to other brands. Current market price for a 2nd hand Nokia E61i is RM 400. It is quite fat and looks bulky but I’m not concerned as I’m not using it as a phone.
The second option is the Sony XPeria X1 which came out in 2008, It was one of the best looking phones at that time and also costly at RM 2000+.
This phone fetches around RM 800 second hand.
It’s twice the cost of the Nokia and is still relatively expensive for 2nd hand gadget. However the Nokia cannot run Pocket Fritz 4 while the Sony can (as the X1 runs on Windows Mobile OS).
The cameras on these 2 phones are nothing to shout about but they are above average quality and should be good enough for pictures on a blog. Still cannot decide one over the other. I love Nokia phones for their build quality and reliabillty but then I can’t have Pocket Fritz 4 on the Nokia. It could run Chess Genius but that’s not as good as PF4.
