Which phone?

apoorv.sharma · 16-03-2007, 03:45 PM

I'm planning to take a new cell phone and i have a budget of 10k (obviously can vary around tht a few hundreds...). My main interest is to have sufficient memory for music and also be pretty decent looking.
Would be wonderful if I can get some suggestions here also adding why I shud go for tht particular phone over others.
Thanks a ton in advance!

Kiran.dks · 16-03-2007, 04:19 PM

K750i for excellent music quality and awesome 2MP camera. It is the best in that budget range.

kalpik · 16-03-2007, 04:19 PM

E50.. Symbian rules.. K750i is outdated already..

16-03-2007, 05:52 PM

W700i, 5300, 6233

U are right. K550i is the new mob by SE. My brother has purchased it last week. It has got everything that K750 does infact even more features. Its only 14mm thick.
Those who complain abt loudness of SE phones...this phone is loud as much as Nokia 6233(which my sister has). Music and cam quality is quite good compared to 6233. But the screen size is small and no symbian.

Since ur primary concern is music and memory, go for W700i which comes with 256MB card.

Hey blushift, can you plz tell weather the keypad is easy & comfortable ? The only downside which is more due to being new is the Keypad of K550i

47shailesh · 16-03-2007, 07:57 PM

^^ But with time 1 will get used to it.. for sure sms junkies fill dislike it first

I think Joystick would have been a better option in K550i...
Edge is available in k550...

apoorv.sharma · 16-03-2007, 09:40 PM

well since i already mentioned my primary concern includes music, and also since I'll be buying a camera phone, the camera shud also be pretty decent...i guess the sony ones wud lack there(memory)...the memory sticks being pretty expensive...and my MINIMUM memory requirement being 1GB(for which ill have to get an extended one anyway....cheaper in case of nokia again)...so from all this ive pretty much narrowed down to the NOKIA E50 till now...do lemme kno if u think ive made the right choice..or there still is some scope of better alternatives...
oh not to forget the symbian operatin system which is not there in other phones, making them much less extendable!...

abhi_10_20 · 16-03-2007, 09:53 PM

6233 .......the cutest

Pathik · 16-03-2007, 10:00 PM

e50 wd be my choice too.. But u say ur primary concern is music..

apoorv.sharma · 16-03-2007, 10:11 PM

^^^^^^^yea so wht abt it?...i need the memory for music!!!

Pathik · 16-03-2007, 10:16 PM

umm like i already mentioned the lack of symbian is the only thing tht deters me from these two...neways tell me why u think e50 is not good for the "music" attribute?...

blueshift · 17-03-2007, 09:57 AM

gx_saurav: I feel the joystick is pretty much good. The only problem is the number keys which is clumsy initially...but u will get used to it after 2-3 days. hehe

Don't go for Symbian unless you are planning to do some really productive work with your mob. There are pretty descent free apps available for Java-based phones too.

If at all u want a symbian mob, then get no other than E50. Screen size is big, 1.2MP camera. Theres no FM on this phone though.

apoorv.sharma · 17-03-2007, 10:03 AM

hmmm about the E50..since this is provided with only mono headphones, how much would it cost to get a stereo ones?..any idea anyone?

17-03-2007, 10:10 AM

E50 does not come with any memory card. Also it comes with only one ear headset. Also sound quality of E50, although quiet good, isn't as good as W700i. Also the 1.3 mpix camera present in E50 is quiet basic and average in quality. I'll suggest you go for W700i instead. It has great sound quality, good 2.0 mpix camera and comes with a 256 mb memory card. And it comes within your budget.

apoorv.sharma · 17-03-2007, 10:23 AM

^^^256MB is jus nt enough for me...im plannin to upgrade the cell memory to upto 2GB once i get it...in which case i'd be ripped if i take a sony one!...

17-03-2007, 01:48 PM

You don't need to buy the original Sony memory stick pro duo. You can buy the fake one that most shops sell. They're much cheaper and perform just as good.

apoorv.sharma · 17-03-2007, 10:21 PM

hmm ok ppl...how abt if i increase my budget upto 15k!!!..den which one shud i go in for?...preferably one wid symbian....also any clues abt how the imate sounds like?

Pathik · 17-03-2007, 10:28 PM

In 15k get the n70me..

apoorv.sharma · 17-03-2007, 10:42 PM

how abt the nokia 6300...any reviews abt tht one?

17-03-2007, 10:51 PM

6300 ain't good enough. Go for N70 ME.

Pathik · 17-03-2007, 11:18 PM

hmmm 6300<6233<w810i<<<<<n70me.. Make ur choice..

apoorv.sharma · 17-03-2007, 11:28 PM

n70 ME !!!!!!

blueshift · 18-03-2007, 07:53 AM

If you ask for music quality and looks then W810i>>>>N70me.
Leave alone the symbian. You wouldn't want to use it unless u 'll be doin something productive.
