Best cell in 10k to 14k budget

As i've observed, the 10k to 14k price range is one of the hottest in the market and is within reach of quiet a lot of people and everyone trying to get their hands on the models lying in this budget. The list of available models in this range itself is quiet impressive, ranging from smartphones to music phones. So i thought i'll conduct a poll to find out once and for all who rules this segment. It'll also be helpful for those who want to buy a new cell in this particular price bracket. I've only included the popular ones, so don't be mad if your favourite cell is not here.

Which one is the best depends upon what you really want to use your cell phone for. I'd prefer a symbian phone cos of the wide availablility of 3rd party software. Someone who wants music will opt for Nokia 6630 out of these.
Those prefering music or camera as their first priority will definitely go in for a SE.
Moto Razr V3i definitely for style buffs.

Sonyericssion k750i is the best phone price they give you more than price ,,
Its camera is as good as digital camera
I warned you but you didn't listen now face the consequences
Specifiacation of k750


The camera settings look the following way:

Automatic camera off. When not used the camera turns off automatically in 30 seconds, 1, 2 or 3 minutes.

Shutter sound. You can choose on of the three shutter sounds but not turn the sound off.

Spot photometry. The function is unusual for a mobile phone.

White balance. A possibility to choose between an automatic mode or Incandescent, Fluorescent, Daylight, Cloudy.

Light. Backlighting activation, also may be turned on by shifting a left-side cover.

Effects. Several effects may be applied to the photos, they are Negative, Solarize, Sepia, Black & White.

Timer is activated for a certain time period for self shooting.

Night mode is for shooting in the dark. Noises raise on a photo, exposition is increased (you shouldn't move the device in order not to get a blurry photo).

Shooting mode. Normal mode, that is taking usual photos. A multiple mode (Burst 4) allows taking four photos for a series. Landscape is a very interesting mode that allows taking rather unordinary photos, has no rivals for the moment. The last mode is taking photos with frames, photo resolution decreases automatically.

Macromode allows turning the mode automatically.

The screen may serve as a viewfinder when in the shooting mode. The picture moves very smoothly and everything is clearly seen. Number keys help in switching between various functions and shooting parameters quickly that fastens work greatly.

Autofocus works well in the majority of cases and yields only to fast moving objects, for instance, cars. The picture often comes merged then. At the same time, a running man is always well seen, the picture is clear.

Processing a photo after shooting is a peculiarity of the phone. Before shooting you see a very sharp picture on the screen and half-pressed shutter button calls focusing like in usual cameras. When pressing it you take a photo and that is when the picture looses its sharpness. The explanation is the phone's processing algorithm; it spends no time to draw a picture on the screen and makes a rough sketch that takes less time. If entering a folder with photos and show a single photo on the screen you'll see it is sharp and the picture is quite saturated.

Let's acquaint with the photos taken in various conditions. We have chosen Samsung P750 equipped with a 2MP camera with a CCD matrix (all the pictures taken with the device are of the maximum resolution and quality). I'd like to say in advance, the Sony Ericsson product proved better though having a CMOS matrix. Let's start with the photos taken in the street.

Thats not true. SE website says that k750i's memory can be expanded to upto 2gb. There are even 2gb cards available in indian market(at around 2.5k). Some people even say it can go upto 4gb

nokia 6233 rockz!!!

2 GB memory stick duo which is compatible with k750i costs 6k or more, 256 MB comes for Rs 2100 in Sony world lucknow

Since we are talking about K750i, I would like to talk about a competitor here. Probably no one heard it but just check out BenQ-Siemens S88

A friend of mine has this phone and I can tell you, it looks great and cam has some real quality. The OLED screen that it has (instead of usual TFT) is really bright and is a serious asset to this thing. Good battery life and everything. The only negative point is that it has just a 16MB MMC and doesn't come with an additional one. You need to buy one separately. Otherwise, it looks stunning and works great. Gives K750i some real competition.

[urvish_acharya]

there is no resale price of sony h/s..so think twice before purchasing coz anyway we change our handset atlest once in 6 months...even software compatibility is major issue..the softwares which are easily available for NOKIA, is not available for SONY..so think budy

[mandar5]

BUY k750i and be futureproof 4 1,2yrs as u wont get bored of this BLACK BEAUTYEven some of hot chicks in my class r floored with it n resale value of SE fone is increasing

[Cool G5]

I think the SE K750i is the best.If u are a music listener go for W700i.
