My Ameo For Sale Whats It Worth?

[spacecat]

I am probably gonna sell my Ameo in the next week or so
its in good condition (1or 2 tiny marks on the case where it rubs on the keyboard).

My Missus is giving me her new LG Viewty and im probably gonna get a laptop (EEE likely).


So how muchs it worth and does anyone here want to buy it. (UK BASED) sensible offers listened to

it has had a screen protector on it since the day i bought it
:)

I know I'm not always on best terms with my Ameo but the Viewty is horrendous. At least if the O2 branded version i played on is the same as the generic model.


Nice camera though.


With you on the EEE. I've found it very useful and very reliable since i bought it and if you're good with a solder there are various hdd/bluetooth dongle mods you can do.

Won't you miss the WMWIFIROUTER functionality of wm6 when on the move? I'd trade the Viewty in for a Kaiser while they're still going for good money!


Best of luck selling your Ameo anyway.

i must admit you do tend to take a negative viewpoint of things.

Its going to be a Tmobile one and every review of it i have read is that is VERY GOOD! i will be using it as a modem for any laptop i get (USB connection)and it has a nice 3 inch screen for on the move watching and interneting and its compatible with Tmobile TV so SKY FOOTY for a £5.

Anyhow i will see how it is myself and if i dont like i can flog it for a very decent profit :)

Will be nice to have a phone that actually looks like a phone
again!

You're right - I'm a very cynical character these days. I will admit that I didn't have it for much more than half an hour, but if I play on a normal mobile and don't like the GUI straightaway I tend to give up.

I found it hard to distinguish which icons did what, and didn't like the sms setup. I did like the way the screen vibrated though. The camera is EXCELLENT too, as I said. Probably the best I've seen.

I would be very interested to hear about your experience with the Viewty - I'm not stuck in my ways and am willing to persevere if something turns out to be worth the effort. I too read many reviews of the Viewty and the reviews were excellent. I actually took my Ameo into CEX to trade it for a viewty today (coincidence or what?), but as I said I didn't take to it as well as I thought I would.

I may go back and have another look. My eye is on the N95 8GB now though. I played on one but it was on Voda and £350 quid :-(

With the huge increase in RAM, slick and shiney look and big screen Its my next gadget. Unless the Viewty Proves better than first impressions :-)

was thinking about the N95 but it is infamous for having a crap battery life , its very pricey and the screen is to small for me. i want to get away from the wm6 experience and go full XP! hence the laptop.

Why r u not sticking with your Kaiser?

n95 battery life is poor when hsdpa is activated, although this is the case with all hsdpa phones ive experienced when hsdpa is active - from the samsung z560, the tytn to the ameo and obviously the n95. I found with the n95 that if I changed the mode to gsm battery life was excellent and the browser still rendered web pages very quickly. the 8gb edition has a higher capacity battery than the original but I imagine the larger screen size negates any extra lifetime. its a very nice screen though - one of the biggest and sharpest I've seen on a normal handset.

I never actually bought a kaiser, it didn't really appeal for some reason. if it had a higher res screen I might've got it though.


don't think im helping your sale so for that I apologise.

I will spread the word for you though.

I went to shop to look at N95 today and went away very happy. Very happy with my Dopod U1000. The N95 is useless for me. The screen is incredibly small, and internet browser takes forever to work. Makes my Dopod U1000's internet browsing feel like speed demon.

Spacecat, you're right about users having very positive reviews on this device. Viewty looks very interesting. The camera and video recording features are very nice. Imaging this:120fps in QVGA video recording mode! Unfortunately, I don't see any GPS. I also can't get a good idea of what internet browsing capability it has. It appears to have only a WAP browser, am I right?

For me, the number main features that I use on my mobile device is internet browsing, email, gps, VOIP, excel, expense tracking, videos and pictures. Camera is lower down on the list. So, although LG's device is such a viewty, I mean beauty, it does not suit me. I just love the MOBILE internet browing capability of Athena too much now. The grass on my side is greener!:D I wish I can buy your device. My wife and sons all want to have mine, but it's not for sales in Australia.

I will be using the viewty as a modem for a laptop as i do 90% of my out of the house browsing at work ! at my desk and u can use mobile mini for browsing on the phone. I dont have a car so GPS is not important

Apart from the 5 megapixel camera which im not that bothered about , it is compatable with T-Mobile Tv so i can watch sky matches for a £5 a month on the move, It supports DIVX playback out of the box and is SMALLER!

Im gonna try it out and see how i get on, if i dont like it then i will sell it ! basically im getting it for free so its a win win situation!
