Best Phone Within 24k???

[george101]

guys am planning to buy a new phone and has been planning for almost a month but still has not decided. am confused whether to go for 5800 or stretch my budget and go for N85? is 24k justified for N85? does it have any problems? i liked 5800 in papers but wen i held it in my hand i felt it a little bit small but lengthy. am currently using 6210 Navigator and fell 5800 is smaller than it. do i have any other option other than these two? please help guys. am very confused

[sujoyp]

I assume u want a smartphone coz ur choice is N85 and 5800

What else is ur requirement.....whats ur use basically....music is good on both

If u like samsung they have some great phones like PIXON and S8300 ultra touch with 8mp cam

Go for 5800.Very good phone at a Lesser price.

[george101]

wel to b frank i dont use camera much, hence doesnt care much. a 3.2mp wil b enough

i mainly prefer a handset with good talktime(>=5h), superb display and a 3.5mm jack

[sriharsha_madineni]

If camera is not that important then 5800 is a good buy.

[desiibond]

How about Samsung Omnia??

[k4ce]

i wud go for the 5800 ... its a smart fone ... plus cam u really arent interested in ... and the 5800 has better battery life (according to available info) ....

[Tamoghno]

5800 may seem to have a little long in shape but in practical its very good in ergonomics department. UNLIKE OTHER SMARTPHONE IT CAN BE EASILY USED IN ONE HAND. so dont worry about shape.
Also n85 isreally not worth the price it asks for. The screen is better but not exceptional . I'd recomend n82 as it has better hardware including cam and procy /graphics chip. Or wait for n86 , price will be around same as n85 but has insane camera quality in low light.

[yogi7272]

Avoid n85.If u can wait a month or so then n86 is the way to go.

thanks for helping me out guys.

omnia looks cool. wil check it out. but does it have any problems? coz the 6210 am using now is full of it and am fed up with it. i dont want go to service center every now and then. does it have a 3.5mm jack???

i wud have gone for the n82 if it was just like an n73, which was my previous set and i just dont want to buy a simple candybar.

hows samsung i450? i was thinking to buy samsung now and wait till n86 or 5710XM is out and its initial problems are solved. wil samsung give me any problems? my main use will be music

[dreamcatcher]

The maybe you can wait for a few days and get the W995 by SE. The best sounding phone in the market.

[amitabhishek]

IMO spare a few grand more and get an iPhone. That's what a smartphone should be...Don't waste money on the likes of Nokias, Samsungs & WinMos of the world. They really really need to work on their UIs.

Samsung i450 is a nice phone but you need to have right set of headphones to get enough loudness out of the 3.5mm port. You need to buy headset like this one http://www.gsmarena.com/showpic.php3...marena_069.jpg to use a high quality heaphones and get enough loudness.

Phones like this is the reason why Samsung is fast climbing the ladder and seriously threatening Nokia for that no.1 spot.

[george101]

iphone costs 30k! way out of budget.

i do have ep630. wont it be enough?

omnia has everything but a good display. just 65k! u must be kidding me. am now using 16M and i dont want to downgrade

W995 specs looks good. but with 8.1MP cam am afraid it wil b priced too much

any idea wen n86 will be out?

[desiibond]

don't judge it by 65k or 16M.

The display of HTC P3400 (65k color) is much better when compared to Motorokr E6's 256k color display that is because the resolution of these phones is lot higher.

and believe me, that 16M display eats up battery really fast.

Take a demo of Samsung Omnia or any winmobile phone that has good resolution and you will accept that 65k/256k/16M won't make much difference.

[george101]

i do hope u r rite

wil ep630 be enough for i450? also r u sure omnia has 3.5mm jack?

thanks for helping me

[desiibond]

yes.

Omnia's headphone comes with 3.5mm jack (like sonyericsson walkman phones).

[yogi7272]

n86 is expected in june. Wait for it if u can.

[george101]

n86 wil b priced around 28k rite? its much above my budget at the moment.

btw wats ur opinion abt i450??? or should i just go for 5800???

[uppalpankaj]

Get the 5800 if cam is not ur priority otherwise get the N82 (superb cam) with ur eyes closed if u can adjust with the candy form factor once again. Don't get the N85..It is a gr8 phone though but has a lot of build quality issues..

[george101]

thanks for the suggestion, but if n82 costs 19k just bcoz of its cam, wont it b better to go for n81 8gb/n78?

does n81 and n78 face any build quality issues???

[uppalpankaj]

According to me it is worth it 2 spend 2-3k more and get the N82/5800 based upon ur choice if u really plan to use the phone for the next 2.5-3 years.

And if u do not plan to use the phone that long, then there r very gud phones in the price range of 10-15k which u can consider such as SE K810i, SE C510, Nokia N73 Music Edition, Moto ZN5.

[Tamoghno]

N86 would be priced around $400 , that translates to around 22k ,(comparing with other nokia at that price). Nokia is too late in 8 mp market and they cant afford to price it much higher . N86 also supposed to have better build quality , thanks to metallic accent. It also just won the best camera phone award from tipa.that does say something.

Samsun omnia is good phone , but putting windows on it kills it. There's reason why new omnia is based on symbian.It is good in spec sheet , but is actually just another winmo.slow and battery hungrt.

As far your requirment are concerned , nokia 5800 fits perfectly , so if you like it , then just go for it. I'm using this phone (with ep630) for past one month and it rocks in music. Battery in music is and 640x360 screen cant be beat for its price.

[sujoyp]

yup better go for 5800 instead of waiting for n86

We know the experience of buying a nokia product just after release....they have buggy software..
Build quality issue
technical issues
better give n86 two months and then it will be good to get with bug fixed and problems resolved

SE W995 will be good but again if u need Smartphone then u can neglect it

[george101]

the omnia is a bit expensive for me @26k, wud have gone for n85 if it wasnt for build quality issues. guess i have no other option than 5800!!!

[yogi7272]

wait for n86. It would be a damn good phone. Since its software is same as n85 , it must be pretty stable from startup. And we know that its build quality will be pretty solid as nokia have learned that they cant just put cheap plastic in their high end handset.

[desiibond]

Isn't a 2.6" display seriously tiny for a 20k+ phone??

[Coool]

5800....Or wait 4 N86!!
