[vinyasmusic]

Hi ... Guys n gals .....
My Q to all the geeks here is ...
Which is d best mobile to buy under 8-9K range ... ?
Should v wait for new releases or go for it now ?
I think 3G should be a must for the mobile now ...

[sujoyp]

if u r OK with non-smartphone then I would suggest u samsung Monte

Samsung S5620 Monte - Full phone specifications

If u want smartphone with symbian OS then have to go for Nokia touchscreens

[vinyasmusic]

Anything other than Nokia plz ..... i hate mostg of their sets .... Especially N series ... They shuld be renamed to haNg series ...

[sujoyp]

LOL Then u will like Samsung Monte...it have capacitive screen and all the connectivity options from 3g, wifi, gps

[ankushkool]

but we dont give ant guarantee that it wont haNg

You can consider Sony Ericsson C510. Great 3.2mp camera with great music.

[vinyasmusic]

I have used Samsung mobiles like Jet n Corby ... They don hang at least like Nokia .... But Monte costs more than 11K i guess ... I had checked few days back ... !!!! How about Motorola ?

[azzu]

+1 for SE c510 ..
plz specify ur Mode of use and need of features
we can be more precise then

[Cool G5]

Nokia 5235 is the way to go in your budget but seeing your comments it seems as if you won't be happy. Stick with Samsung or SE.

[desiibond]

Nokia 5235 or Nokia 5230 FTW

[manjunathmaski]

I suggest Sony Ericson c510.

I have similar thread running by my bad luck not much reply so

Which 1 is better Nokia 5235 or Samsung S5620 ?

or any else in this range I want touch so else are not eligible

[sujoyp]

Samsung Monte

1.Capacitive screen
2. Wifi
3. 3.15mp cam (2mp of 5235)
4. Better looking

Nokia 5235

1. slightly bigger screen 3.2inch( 3" of monte)
2. Symbian OS
3. Video recording vga@30fps (qvga@15fps of monte)

remaining specs r nearly same

[ankushkool]

If u need WiFi then Nokia 5530 is a very good option!

Ya,I know that. Wifi is not important but capacitive touch and 3.15mp camera is attracting me towards monte but no symbian , no multitasking, no on screen qwerty,little smaller screen , low resolution is distracting

So all I guess 5235 is best and IMO 5530 is not worth it at all

If you would like your phone to do some real work, go for Nokia 5230. It doesn't have wi-fi, but you don't need that either. The number of softwares available for symbian is really great and you can do a hell lot of things with them. Only problem, freewares are not that many. 5230 is a really good phone and having a smartphone really makes more sense to me.
For example, I can speak to my friends & relatives who have smartphones free of cost using fring/nimbuzz and a google account (data charges are nominal). But very few of them have smartphones, so...

[sujoyp]

BTW fring and nimbuzz can be used in java mobiles

[Cool Buddy]

java versions of fring & imbuzz can be used only for text chat, not for voice & video

[vinyasmusic]

Fring is good ....
Samsung has some cool sets ... Used my frens Monte yesterday ... And Jet too ... They r very good .... Nokia is goin to have a run for its money ...
MOTOROLA whr r u guys ???? I hope u get a good one out soon

[clmlbx]

I posted in this thread so I am sharing this

I bought nokia 5235 ..any 1 need some info let me know..

[sujoyp]

Congrats...whats the price and what did u get along with ur mobile (like memory card, headset, voucher etc)

[clmlbx]

I bought it form Nokia Priority at RS 8700

got earphones (wh-701), 2gb card , usb cable, 12 months music subscription.

well card is useless for me as I already got 4 gb card .. other contents looks good

and 1 annoying thing was that no one had screen protector that I asked for this mobile..not even at nokia priority.

[sujoyp]

^^ Did u tried ur headset?? the headset with 5800 was very poor how is the one with 5235
And u didnt get screen protector...I have changed 2 of them in last 8 months...there is plenty available here...it cost around Rs.70

[reddick]

SE C510
using since one yr.
gr8 phone vid no probs at all

[clmlbx]

yes, I will get screen protector soon.. Headset r good, good clarity but I am finding it very uncomfortable might be it is just to me.. transfered music to it yesterday so will give more details very soon

+1 for SE.
SAMSUNG Monte (Onix) Comparism has been done in this month's Digit too. My frnd brought it. Its good phone but the touch screen is less sensitive.

You can go for SE or LG Cookie Fresh is good one.

[mauryarahul007]
