Specs first and then design. But that doesn't mean I would go for some high-spec'ed ugly heavy brick ;)

I voted for features ...

Poor features ,in a beautiful phone, aren't attract me ...

This is a tough call for me as I'd like all of my phones to look stunning AND have great features. I know it isn't very likely to happen!

IPhone(Design) or N95(features)?? :insane:

Well, as a P990/904SH owner, I just can't go for design over features(had to wait until T650 for a pretty phone with a decent feature set)......

I am into design lately. As long as it has the basic features with at least a 2MP camera & some sort of music player, & expandable memory I am good to go.

I don't need GPS, or video call, or any kind of document viewer. The reason why the 6500 Slide is the absolute best phone I have seen in years. It has the perfect amount of features without sacrificing looks.

I absolutely love this phone. So much so, that I bought a Euro spec edition to have on hand.:jump:

Design is always first, then if I like it I look at the features, I don't exactly live in Tokyo... ;)

Which one is your priority in a mobile phone?

Design for me :D

Could explain why.

I mean all SE does is design phones and reuse features.

for me is features first then design.
and by design it doens't have to look ugly and it works out :)

Features for me would come first.... then the bulge in my pocket!! :jump: size, looks, design and whatever always comes last/second out of features and looks!

features first then design.... you'll get used to ugly design.. i just cnt imagine that i use p800 and 3650/60 before; they are really ugly bricks but still bought them coz they are the most feature packd in their times...

Oh please no, the world can't handle two fuzzywuzzy's... I know NASA said they would bring man to Mars by 2037, I would be ready to leave before if thats the case! :lol:

interesting tread.
nowdays most mobiles have decent specs, so i tend to think looks are going to play a more evident part.
personly, i'd buy a t650 for great look and build quality, and decent specs, rather than the higher specs device k850. who am i kidding, i guess i'll buy them both.

Good specs with a good price...
I would never throw my money to a phone that wouldn't have either of them. With fashion phones (e.g. 8xxx and W910) you just pay a lot of money for the looks, which after a while just doesn't matter to me. When I have owned a phone a while, I'm just so used to the looks that it doesn't matter how awsome or boring it might have looked when I bought it. Ofcourse there are so many good phones that match my criteria, so usually there's no need to choose a ugly one.
