Which phone?

**Nájlá** · 02-09-2011

Asalamu Alaykum,

I need a new phone but I honestly don't know much about them but there's these two phones that I've had my eyes on for a few weeks now.

But am stuck I don't know what to get and whether it would be worth it if I buy any of these two the Sony Ericisson x10 Mini pro and the Black berry curve 8520 all I want is a smartphone for a good price.

I personally like the SE more but what's putting me off is the size of it and am not sure if I'll manage to use it since I've never had a touch phone before and If I do get it then am getting the one with the keypad. the last phone I've had was Sony ericssion w890i another thing about this phone is that the bluetooth doesn't work I have to download a app for it or whatever it is now its really important for me. But I love everything about the phone especially the android market.

And the blackberry I just like the BlackBerry messenger and that its not touch and that's it. But nearly everyone in my school has the blackberry.

What do you think brothers and sisters? Has anyone had any of these two phones? if so what are they like and do you suggest any other phone?

For many people, all the phones discussed in this thread (even old obsolete ones), will be completely out of reach budgetwise/moneywise. Now, though, there are many budget smartphones coming onto the market. They may not have processors that are superfast, or run the very latest versions of operating systems, but if you want smartphone features, you can now get them for around £50-60 UK (some even £40, at the cheapest) + £10 top up, which means you don't need to be tied into a monthly contract if you don't make a lot of calls/texts. Some though, will define budget as less than £100, and at that end of the range, the specs will most likely be better, though some cheaper ones are giving more expensive ones a run for their money. You have to do your research and read reviews carefully though before buying, so that you don't end up with one say where you have to touch the screen with brute force for it to do anything!

u blv i am that kind of person, u know Prophet PBUH had take a very less benefit of this dunia. even there was no light in masjid nabvi upto 9 years from hijra. prophet PBUH used to eat v.less even they have food. that mean we should utilise this dunia only and only in the case, there in intense need. i blv, ok today we need to contact someone so moblie phone is our need, but u purchase a simple one, just for fulfill ur need. toady we are more indulge in needs and this dunia.
i am sorry to OP but if i can suggest u, take a simple one and give that additional money u gonna spent for this to some poor. Allah SWT will reward in both worlds insh.

Remember though, that Islam doesn't forbid us from making beneficial use of technology, or spending our money on facilities for ourselves. There are many apps nowadays, I hear, that actually help with the deen, of Qur'an and hadeeth that you can read on the go, prayer time reminders etc. Most of us posting here will have a computer of some form. Computers can be used for good or bad. Same with phones. Depends how you use them.
