Suggest a handset upto 10K

[sandeepk]

I am looking for new handset preferably from Nokia upto 10K.
The models I am currently interested in are 5320, 7310 or 5700.
Please suggest which one of these or others you can think are the best?
Also you can suggest from other manufacturers.

When compared to SONY ERICSSON W810i - these 3 models from nokia are are dump ............. GO for SE W810i superb camera clarity /voice clarity /sound boost ...etc

[girish.g]

IMO 5320 is better. but it has a smaller screen than 5700, s60 feature pack 2, ngage

i'll suggest u to go for Nokia 5320 XM if u r lukin for a music fone...
not only music its very good for gaming[ngage supported] too
it comes bundled vth a free 1gb card n also d price is just 9.8k
this fone is really very fast n lives upto d expectations
d only downside of this fone is its CAMERA although d cam is 2mp vth flash but its just abt average... dont faint its not that bad either it produces pretty nice pics under good lighting condition...
Overall its a fantastic fone n its a steal deal at this price, very good for music & gaming.

Features Snapshot:
-> music playback time upto 24hrs n comes vth dedicated audio chip.
-> its 3G n hv dual cam too.
-> supports memory upto 16GB[m using it vth 16gb SDHC n its still so damn fast]
-> symbian 60 feature pack 2 makes it even more attractive.
-> Looks n feels nice n its light weight too.
-> 2mp Camera vth flash
-> Very fast fone and its very handy too.
-> Voice recording is sumthing to look for its so damn clear n quality is awesome.
-> Very Good Audio n Video Support


Alternatively u can go for SE w610i if u r lukin for a good cam+music it'll cum around at 8.6k or even SE w580i is worth lukin at n it will cum around at 9.5k

Increase the budget slightly and get a N73ME...
3.2 camera,
2 GB memory card,
larger screen + s60..

Dude r u mad how can u call a smartphone a dumb .
W810 is a very old phone and out of production , get nokia 5320 or sony ericsson k790 .
5320 will be a better option if u do well with 2mp cam .

[Pathik]

Go for the 5320 XM.

[sandeepk]

Thanks for all of your inputs. So looking at your suggestions and other reviews at other websites, I have decided to go for 5320 XM. I checked the price in Pune. No one is giving it less than Rs. 9880. What do you think? Is it okay to go with this price or should I bargain more?

[Pathik]

Yea, that's a valid price. BTW if you can wait, wait for the E63. should be around 12k.

[choicefreedom2000]

In my opinion nokia 5310 is better stuff.

[krazzy]

Another vote from me for Nokia 5320.

[prakashr85]

if you dont need 3g then why dont u try moto e8

[sandeepk]

I have bought 5320 yesterday. I found it to be very good overall. Only thing which is bad is its camera. They should have provided a better camera for a few hundred/a thousand rupees more. I also found its sound output to be less intensive than my old 6030. While traveling it is more difficult to hear. But still it is a real value for money.

What was the Price & Location of 5320 XM ?

[sandeepk]

I bought it for Rs. 9980 from Telephone Shoppe, Pune. Every other store has the same price of near Rs. 10000.

planningTO buy 5320..!! How is the music quality an browsing experience

And does it show 90 mb of free executable ram...?? If yes then low memory close some apps error is not likely to b seen...

[sandeepk]

^^ Yes it has 140 MB internal memory. And around 90 MB is free if you haven't installed any other applications. I don't have NOP or Mobile office activated yet. But I think it will be nice experience as I find the phone to be very fast. I will let you know when I activate it and how I find it.

Edit : Any one know which application to install to view avi/wmv files (If there is one)?

[Cool G5]

^To view avi files you can use Smartmovie. While I don't think wmv files can be played back as of yet, but you can try them in Core Player - which supports a wide array of formats.

Also try changing the .wmv extension to .mp4 in case the file ceases to playback.

[MasterMinds]

@sandeepk
i am talking abt ram....AFAIK 5320 has 128 mb of ram

[sandeepk]

^^ I have visited nokia site and it says 5320 has 140 MB RAM. But phone shows 128 MB RAM. So I don't know which one is correct.
And YES, my phone shows that 90 MB RAM is free.

[MasterMinds]

ok thanks..!!! it has 140 mB of user memory{like where u install apps in phone memory} and it has 128 MB of RAM

Great brother
so is it vth d new firmware or d old one n if its vth d new firmware then pls do me a favor post one image taken frm ur cell so that we can c if thr is any diff. in d quality or nt in d new firmware...

[MasterMinds]

its old firmware...i already hacked it...! U know...but the phone is lil bit buggy...! It really need some serious upgrades...and may b some improvement in sound quality considering it is audio chiped...and also in video playback...!! Hardware wise the phone is great...

now planingg to put in 4gb card in it...hope it dosent lag with it...! As my friends n81 lags with sandisk 4gb sdhc card....

[v4u_luv2004]

yeah right fone really needs some upgrade i face a strange problem wen i listen music through d headfones, like it stops playin music then i've to plug-out d heafone n plug-in again n abt d video fone itself supports no. of formats but inbuilt video player shud always b avoided, although m using smartmovie n d video playback is really smooth...
n for d audio part i've disabled d loudness n stereo widening bcos its useless, try doin that then u may like d results[m4a playback is much better in d fone compared to mp3]
