[dreamcatcher]

k530i

[desiibond]

1) Nokia 6233
2) K530i
3) W810i

[dreamcatcher]

grrrr..please suggest phones the treadstarter has quoted and dont confuse him more. :|

[desiibond]

hehe okay okay

I pick K530i :)

[k_blues24]

+1 for K530i

[akshaykapoor_3]

Nokia 6233 a big NO... nd w810i is out f my budget.. I can go fr max 7500/-

Not even one suggested k550i :P

Plz temme, On wat basis do u rate k530 better than 550 ?? I thought k550 has lens cover, autofocus flash nd all so it wud be a bettr choice.. It lacks 3G whch is of no use fr a year frm nw (dis is wat i thght)

Hws d keypad f 550 ?? R d keys soft ???

[desiibond]

^^ Damn. I thought K530 is the one with autofocus.

Sorry mate. I change my vote to K550i. Yes. It has more features that are useful for Indians. :)

Keypad wil be good once you get used to it.

K530i....
If u want to use it in distant future, as 3g is present.. K550i if u prefer a camera based phone.. And ya its keypad is pretty troublesome at beginning.. And its got edge... K530i is pretty slim too..

Even screen is bigger than k550i..

[akshaykapoor_3]

Thanks all fr replyin

^^ Damn. I thought K530 is the one with autofocus.

hehe.. no prob buddy..


^^ Both r 14mm .. So quite slim nd light weight,, Dats wat i like abt SE..
Any f u used k550 before..??

Dese r d prices quoted by Subhiksha mobile..

k550i Rs.7020
k530i Rs.7430

[k_blues24]

K530 is also a good phone with 3g ( in india no use of it but hope that it will launch soon at least u will get good speed 4 edge)

[akshaykapoor_3]

Nd hw imp r d features:

1) lens cover
2) auto focus
3) flash

[dreamcatcher]

Btw have u tried the k660i or the G502?? Both of them are great phones.

[akshaykapoor_3]

G502 isnt availabe yet ... dat ws a HSPDA phone nd hs great looks.. Bt den .. As i told, max 7500 :D

Hw much do dey bth cost ..??

Any odr Ericsson fones dat suit my pocket ??

[dreamcatcher]

G502 will be in the 7k bracket. K660 is 8k here and will drop as we say.

Other than that the k550 you kave the k630 whcih falls in the 7.5k region i guess.

[akshaykapoor_3]

:D CoNfUsEd !!! :D

okay , temme.. hw imp r d features i askd above//

1) lens cover
2) auto focus
3) flash

[desiibond]

1) Lens cover protects the lens. Useful for the long run
2) Autofocus (or AF) is a feature of some optical systems that allows them to obtain (and in some systems to also continuously maintain) correct focus on a subject, instead of requiring the operator to adjust focus manually.
3) Flash, well you know how good it is in low light conditions :)

[saqib_khan]

@akshaykapoor_3
U haven't mentioned which features do u want.

If u want to have a gud cam then go with k550.

If u want gud looks,gud keys &3g, then go with k530i.

[akshaykapoor_3]

^^ I guess u r usin k530i ( coz i referred a thread started by you :) )
Could you plz mail me some of pics actually taken by that cellphone at akapoor87@gmail.com ??

I'm just confused for the keypad thng in k550i or else i wud hav gone fr it..

[desiibond]

hmm. in that case increase your budget to 9.5k and get K790i.

Better to feel safe than to feel confused :)

K790i is awesome 3.2mp camera phone and K550i and K530i comes nowhere close to this one.

[gagandeep]

K550i anyday........

K550i has got 77MB internal memory + AutoFocus & Flash with the camera. K530i just got 16MB internal memory. K550i got EDGE too which K530i lacks whereas K530i got 3G which K550i lacks.

[choicefreedom2000]

k550i excellent for the camera
camera has lens cover also
but it sound speaker is not loud enough
for the music k530i is better i wondered why se put this phone in k series?
it has 3g also
rest of all is all most same
you can mode k550i to w610i and get both the features of w and k series
both phone looks good
k550i looks classy in white color but not available here in india
k550i's keypad looks awkward but ones you used to it there will not any prob with that
you may confused
but going with k550i will be right decision

friend of k530i's user

[akshaykapoor_3]

Thanks fr ur reply.. But nw am considering to increase my budget to 9k, but in ne case not more than that..

Wat abt w610i nd w660i ?? COz i find dem sleek and gud luking.. Do they outscore the K series options i was thnkng about earlier ??

[krates]

so go and get K790i you will get nothing better than that in that budget ... :D

[akshaykapoor_3]

k790i : Rs 10700

nd krates, plz do consider the word "SLEEK"

[krates]

^^^ hey yours price quotes are too high

here i can get that for 9500 /- and for that much i can get k810i

so for sleek phone go for 5310

and btw i have used K550i.....

[akshaykapoor_3]

^^ Hw ws d k550i experience.??

nd 5310's cost ?

[infra_red_dude]

1) Want 3G - K530i
2) Want Good camera - K550i (Autofocus, lens cover, better cam, flash).

I think the above pretty much sums up everything. Now decide. Secondly don't bother about W660i/W610i. But one of the above and simply flash to the respective walkman phones. Don't waste money buying them :D

[krates]

^^ Hw ws d k550i experience.??

nd 5310's cost ?

My experience with K550i was good

the phone screen brightness rocks

everything in the phone is good

but camera part is bad :(

it is a cybershot but it is not able to beat even w810i

well 5310 is priced at 9089rs at the mobile store

[gagandeep]

Well dude Krates, its camera is still better than other 2mp cameras in this budget.....It only sucks if compared to K750i and W810i.......Otherwise it is better than most.

[krates]

^^^ so what else i said

i said that it is a cybershot but is not able to beat w810i

[j1n M@tt]

k550 is better for outdoor shots....but very bad when used indoor

[krates]

^^ ya +2

indoor it sucks poorly

the flash is even not strong

[akshaykapoor_3]

Thanks a lot for your suggestion guyz..

Finally bought a k530i...:)

Rs 7600 for Sony Ericsson Showroom.

Got a 512MB M2 card wid it ..

[j1n M@tt]

congrts!! hav a nice time with k530i :)

[krates]

post some pics taken from it or a write a review :d

[shaunak]

Sorry mate. I change my vote to K550i. Yes. It has more features that are useful for Indians. :)


But 3G is comming.... really... the court... i thought they nodded..... woah!:D

Quite honestly, even if 3G does land up here by the end of this year, the access fee will be way too high...




@OG poster: Enjoy your new phone....
