Nokia 3250 vs SE W810i vs Moto RIZR

[bongourav]

Hi friends ...
I'll be buying a cell very soon I am really confused which one to go for.
I want a mixed kind of a phone ... I mean good music, good camera, good looks etc...
I have narrowed my search to these 3 phones:
Nokia 3250
SE W810i
Moto Rizr.
Now I just cant understand which one to buy. I'll tell you why:

Nokia 3250 -

Pros: -
Excellent, large display.
"Symbian 9.0 - Seris 60." !
Stylish Form Factor.
Excellent battery life (Nokia phones always have that)

Cons: -
Quite bulky.
Video quality below average.
(I've heard that more than 50% of sets is problamatic).


SE: W810-

Pros: -
Superb music (As it's a Walkman Phone).
Good Quality Camera.
Descent Looks.

Cons:-
Small Display Screen (Quite usual as seen in case of SE phones)
Average battery life (Which goes poor after using for a few months)


Moto Rizr-

Pros: -
Super Sexy Look (I don't have words to describe it).

Cons: -
Not a great music or camera phone.
Screen is only average.


Now you might understand in what state of a mind I am. Please suggest a suitable value-for-money cell for me.

Note: I did not give much attention to Nokia N72 as I have heard that there's a lot of hanging problems with N-seris mobiles.

And if there is any other cell which you think can beat all the three cells I have shortlisted above then please tell me. It will help me take the right decision ...

Please Please Please HELP !!!

Thanks in advance,

go 4 a n70me..

[bongourav]

N70 ME??? Whats the cost of it? I dun want to extend my budget above 13.5K. Moreover, are there not any hanging problems in it? And how is it better that N72 ? If I go for a N seris then I think I should go for N72 which is more value for money...

@bongourav
i think 810 is the one u shud look for. The bundled speakers MPS-60 is superb an no other cells can match it in terms of music or cam.

What are u saying guy????810's battery wont last??

They are the best in class are they are Li-pol, but nokias got Li-ion.
Im any way Li-pol is better..

With 810 u will get,
a good quality earbuds + 512 MB mem stick micro + MPS-60 speakers[worth 1.5k] + Data cable. Gr8 bundle yaarr for 13.k

[Pathik]

yea n72 is defi better value for money... it goes for 12.6k ..
and n70me arnd 15k..

[dOm1naTOr]

How is K790i cybershot for 14k without bill or warranty???

[Pathik]

thats awesome.... if it is...
wher did u get that price??
and do u get original headfones n battery n charger n stuff??

I'll say you go for W810i. If you want Symbian, then go for N72. And btw N72 doesn't have 'hanging' problems.

[bongourav]

Well, I too am inclined towards SE 810i ...
I only wish if it would had an OS.
Are there enough download apps for this phone?
And don't you think that the screen size is small ? This is only why I am reluctant to get this phone.
One more thing, is the music/ringtone of W810i loud enough to be heard easily in the noiseist conditions ?

[Pathik]

Evy fone has a os of course.. But se w810i doesnt hav the symbian os.. U ll get only java apps 4 it.. Btw the volume is loud enuf..

[assasin]

Just think dat if u want lots of 3rd party apps and will do a lot of multi tasking then go 4 Nokia 3250,else buy SE W810i.
Even i was facing dat same prob when i was going to buy my new fone,i made up my keeping only the above pts in mind and bought Nokia 5500.

[dOm1naTOr]

Manorama o emart is giving out cells at that price at some offer times and the offer will be there often 2 or 3 days a month. U can buy online from them.

@bongourav
There are lotz of java appz out there and tons of gamez.

[gcbeldar]

go for 325o. only size & weight don't matter which comes with 1 gb and decent headphone + good battary life, latest and up to date & good OS

[bongourav]

Oh my god !!! Confusion confusion confusion all around !!! Okey, I have cut off MotoRizr from my list and now the real battle is only between Nok 3250 and SE W810i.

Well, I actually need a phone with good music, camera and looks. And thats where 810i leads up. But then I also feel that a Symbian OS is always handy as in 3250 ...

Right now, my buying preference is in the ratio 70:30 for SE W810i : Nok 3250.

Perhaps a few more suggestions could make me feel more comfortable with my decision.

[Pathik]

get a n70me/n72 for the best apps..

[Netjunkie]

N72 Comes with a 128MB Memorycard & N70ME with a 1GB, the only thing that N72 lacks is 3G & a front camera.
I think n72 would be the right pick if you dont want to stretch your budget, otherwise go for N70ME.

BTW, What is the price of a 1GB MiniSD card?

[Pathik]

rs.850

AFAIK, N3250 cost arnd 14.5k... so even thats above ur budget..
betta extend ur budget to 15k and get either N70 or N3250..

[sanju]

just go for w810i
excellent quality in all respect

[krrrish]

go for anything bt motorizr .. its gt nothing except great looks .

[Tech.Masti]

Go for 3250 or n72 or 6233ME

[Pathik]

if he were to take a java fone than wats wrong in w810i...
thats y w810i > 6233 me..

[bongourav]

Yea .. I dont think java phones are as too backward as compared to symbian phones. I suppose there are quite a number of java apps and games available... If thats so then whats the real advantage of buying a symbian OS ?? Can anyone please explain this to me ...

And if the gap between symbian and java is not much then I'll definately go for SE W810i !!!

[infra_red_dude]

^^ to make a decision on that grounds, first u need to research out all the possible apps that u may need now. of corz ur future needs may be different. will u watch only 3gp/mp4 movies or wud u like to watch divx movies too. do u want separate recording software or are u happy wid the inbuilt ones. do u need real media support? its all abt flexibility in symbian os based phones.

but then again it depends on OS version. symbian os v7,8,9 etc. not every app will be compatible wid every os version. so u need to be clear on that front too. just thinking that buying a symbian os based phone will let u install ur fav. app is wrong! u need to see if its compatible wid the os version on ur phone! but this is one thing where java phones do not haf probs. of corz u will not try to load a today's java app in a 2 year old java based phone! so no worries in this matter in java phones.

if u'll only load games and software like dictionary etc. then there's no dearth of java software. u even haf a winamp like java media player!

but if u say u want "good camera + good music", look no further than w810i. it won't disappoint u on these criteria. but not all may like its looks! its my personal experience, i feel music quality is far far better in w810i than in any Nokia ME based phones and so is the cam quality plus the bundled earbuds are something to really talk abt. i'm not talking after comparing one set of phone but many phones. others may or may not agree wid me. if only good looks is in ur mind, get the moto phone! imho u pay a lot more for the features in n70me which u may never use! so keep the price factor also in mind.

if nokia wud've released an n72me then i can bet on it that it wud've been the fastest moving n series phone ever!!! pity we dun haf such a phone. i believe n72 is value for money. u pay for all that u'll use. but then its music capabilities are nothing great to mention!

i'd say if the choice is between 3250 xpress music and w810i, then get w810i widout doubt! but if only good cam's in ur mind get n72, coz thats value for money!

ps: i know its very boring to go thru the loooooooooooooong post but i've tried to clear every point as much as possible! hope it helps!!!

Symbian phone becomes slower nd files become cluttered unless u do some regular backups nd formats.
I owned a 3230 then a 6630 and now Im more than happy with my W 700i. With Nokia all I got was many hangs, restarts and some crappy pics with the cams.

I say 810i is way better than the competitors. It weighs only some 98 gms with all those tons of features..

[infra_red_dude]

^^^yes thats a point i missed out. large memory cards will slow down symbian phones widout doubt!!!

Well owning a smartphone can be a headache if you don't know what you're dealing with. It needs to be handled more like a pc rather than a phone. Not many people find that exciting. If you're one of them, i'll suggest you stay away from smartphones. W810i will be better for you. Otherwise you should go for N72.

[Pathik]

larger memory cards dont slow down symbian fones if u know how to use them

[dOm1naTOr]

If u have lotz of images in a symbian phone, then itll take ages to open the gallery. Same is with everythin for symbian.

The phone always is not slow when large mem cards are used, but only when the cards data is filled to the brim. The phone seems sluggish.

[Pathik]

jus manage ur data properly and ur fone ll be faster than ever.. I m using a 1gb mmc on my qd wich is almost full still it rox.. As 4 the images use any image viewer app
