Hi I just signed up for fido pre paid service and got a new Z200.
With in a day I got fed up with this phone
Reasons
All button including the joystick difficult to use(You have to press it
deep)
No data communication software available
Does not communicate even with T310 on infrared(except transfer of image)

I am considering returning it and getting M55, so far I feel M55 only
missing the infra red so I have to buy the data cable

I want to know other peoples thoughts about this phone and M55

Is there any other world phones exist in the same price range(I like the
T310 but they are discontinued)

Thanks

I've had trouble with the reception on the t310, lots and lots of dropped
calls. The M55 has been awesome! Let me know how yours works out.

Cheers,
Lubos

Actually we now have totally T310s (with friends) and the reception not
really bad. So far I do not have dropped calls. But I am a occasional
caller. I know the M55 has good RF in comparison. But the buttons looks bit
more difficult to use. Also the 310 has infra red which is a big plus for
me. I can synchronize with my laptop and exchange info between other T310s
etc

Good to know it has been good for you so far. There is no doubt about it
that the T310 is a much more attractive, feature packed and user-friendly
phone. Hopefullly, yours stays working. However, make sure to keep your
receipts - just in case they flake out like the all three of mine eventually
did!

Cheers,
Lubos

Mine flaked out four times!!! I want to call customer service and do away
with SE all together. Do you think they will give me a new handset? I think
Nokia is the most reliable.

From what I'm told... no. They will keep replacing them for as long as they
are under warranty. I eventually got a brand new one sold it on ebay and got
a M55 which is awesome!
