N70 would be the choice for the given price
but smart phones are not the ones for girls
try the L'amour collections from nokia
7370 and 7360 i guess
but yaar..dont get girls symbian phones..it is waste of money..

okie guys ... she has decided to choose between N70 and W800i .. she ll take a demo of both and if she is comfy with the menu n stuff of W800i .. she will go for it. else N70.

7360 - Camera is only VGA and so not considering
7370 - Slider phone so not considering.

It's difficult to convince even most guys about the fact even though it's staring them in the face. LOL!
Anyway, your girlfriend is lucky she decided to try the W800i out. There is simply no reason why she would want not want to buy it once she tries it out. Show her the phone's slick and fast interface, the camera pics...

...and if she's still apprehensive about it, just plug in the earphones (in HER ear) and let her have a taste of the sound quality. To seal the deal, just explain her what the bundled 512 MB stick is capable of! If she still wants to buy a NOKIA... man, I sure do pity her and wish her luck! I can suggest better ways to waste 20,000 bucks though!

Tell her to take SE W800i. From her perspective, it has almost everything that N70 has and its cheaper, smaller and has more memory

I am using N70 and its fantastic. But for females, a smaller handset looks better Even I was considering W800, but the orange colour was a biiiig problem.

The other cameras on all phones currently available won't be too better than the 'stupid' VGA camera that you mentioned.

If you want a camera, go in for a proper digital/film camera.

cmon dude ... there is a lot of difference in quality of pics clicked between a vga camera and a 1.3 / 2.0 megapixel camera .. have seen mobile pics and the extra resolution helps a lot.

Some people just comment on subjects without having any substantial knowledge about it! Have you seen any picture taken from a W800i, mail2and? I bet you haven't! Just open your eyes a bit wider - they are available all over the net. Have a look at them. You will be changing your opinion before you can spell the word 'camera'. LOL!

I have W800i so I know what pictures from W800i means. Yes it is the best camera phono of today.

But still you cannot compare it with pictures taken with good DigiCams.

1. No phone cam of today, have Optical Zoom, the digital zoom is not that useful in low light conditions.
2. The controls you will get with digicam will give much better results than best of integrated camera.

W800i/K750i atleast try to give simillar controls as in Sony Digicams but they lack many things.

So if photography is what you are serious about, then don't look for camera phone. As of casual clicking, this is best phone of today.

Oh we have another einstein here amongst us! mr. wise guy, have u even seen or used a proper digital camera? If you have, you will notice the difference. Cell phone cameras don't stand a chance against those.

On a side note, too many wise guys on digit these days? What's up.. every one is drinking Complan or something?

ur gf shud definately go for se w800i, she will love the orange color and awesome sound quality and the camera of w800i is slightly better than n70(specially macro shots) plus the w800i has 'auto focus' advantage...

n70 has a slower performance sometimes even slower than nk 6680/81...can be bit frustrating at times

girls love fashion, w800i is more fashionable plus the phone interface is simple and very easy to use...

ENjoy...

Excuse me, Mr. mail2and but no one suggested that the camera of W800i falls anywhere in comparison with a digicam. Obviously, it doesn't. I was merely trying to emphasize the rather obvious fact that a 2 MP camera is far better than a VGA one but you seem to be rather too full of yourself to pay heed to other people's opinions.
And anyway, mohit's wants an allrounder phone, not a camera. Humph!
