Default Which Nokia to take?

As I am hell bent on NOKIA

Also had a look on indiagsm.com but still confused......

Plz suggest a mobile under these constraints:


1. Max Budget =15K

2. FM Radio

3. Expandable memory slot...(so that i can install new appln+ games)

4. Camera is optional....

5. Nice keypad + ability to add own words like "main" , hum etc in T9..

Plz suggest a gud Nokia under above conditions...

TIA
Sumit

6600 supports SIS applications, which can be used in Series 60 Symbian phones.
And 6230i is not a symbian phone, its a series 40 phone.
So u can't install games which r not compatible to it...

Series 60 is a kind of mobile OS called symbian OS, so that you can install some apps and games.

With Series 40, you can only install some Java games or maybe some apps as well.


6600 dont has FM radio, other than that I guess 6600 suits you.

There are various ootions for you in your budget 15K. You can go for N6600i Rs. 11300 (black in color, 64 mb mmc) Second one is N6670 Rs. 13500 (1mp camera, 10 min video rec, mp3 player) and even N3230 Rs. 14700 (It is the best in this prize tag with all the latest features like 1.23 mp camera, 60 min video rec, edge, bluetooth and more).

Nokia 3230 is under ur budget.. comes around 14

U can go for Nokia 6600 Rs, 10500 + a FM headset addon original Rs. 1200

Will say go for 6600 if gaming freak.. can play 60% of ngage games..

and will be hell expensive if u buy original ngage games.. and i didnt like QD much.. old ngage was much better

I am using a N3230 and i can say tht you will get used to the key pad in no time

for this NGage games suff go to www.zedge.no and visit forums there. They have got some very good tutorials on symbian fones in nokia section...

Obviously 3230 is a Symbian Series 60 Device

That keypad is not good,IMO. Check out the review of that phone I posted. Many other member also feel the same.

dude it depends...

as far as i am concerned... I dont send too many SMSes so I feel its OKay for me.

Reviews can only help you to prepare a list(2 or 3) of devices to go for.
Its upto you to actually handle the device and check whether you feel it comfortable or not.

I feel every fone has its set of drawbacks.
And if you find a perfect fone price will be its drawback

Wht software problem?? I havent faced any till now except the phone feels a bit sluggish. Also i have installed close to 30 apps . That could be one of the reasons

Dear esumitkumar
Fst set ur priorities right. You can get each and every thing within Rs 15k. Fickling never zeroes to correct choice. You have to sacrifice one thing or other. I seriously suggest you to wait for Nokia N-91.
