Which is the best among these handsets?

goobimama · 07-04-2007, 11:09 PM

I'm in the market of buying a phone. And this one's urgent (latest by monday). So I need my fellow digitians to vent out their opinions on the following finalists:

LG KE800
LG KE820
Sony Ericsson K550i
Sony Ericsson W300i
Sony Ericsson W610i
Sony Ericsson W710i
Sony Ericsson W810i
Sony Ericsson Z710i

Wanted to know the approximate prices but more so the best bang for buck.

The urgency is of the utmost importance as I'll be getting a heavy discount which will last me only and only till monday.

Please help.

goobimama · 08-04-2007, 01:18 AM

Well I'm not very pleased with the Nokia's camera quality, finding Sony's camera much better in comparison.

No one for the LG?

Tech.Masti · 08-04-2007, 01:50 AM

^^ no doubt SE camera is better than nokia,......
actually what you need and your budget...
and no LG please, LG average but battery (signal receptionin some phone also ) is

goobimama · 08-04-2007, 02:32 AM

Looking by the response and some research on the net, I've finally narrowed it down to the K550i.

Any idea what the price would be like?

Goten · 08-04-2007, 04:31 AM

Enjoy

Peace~~~!

Its around 10.9K!

But I'd advise you to go for the W810i instead at 13.9K. It has everything that K550 has and more (music capabilites being a Walkman)

gmanog · 08-04-2007, 11:24 AM

go for w810i

hackers2005.3721 · 08-04-2007, 11:25 AM

i think i ;like n72 oe even n73 it is very coool

goobimama · 08-04-2007, 04:56 PM

One last question before I plunge into that K550i.

Which is the cheapest EDGE enabled phone? There are no other conditions.

salilrane · 08-04-2007, 06:08 PM

k550i has stereo widening feature ....but i thnk cant zoom when its in 2MP mode during photography

2kewl · 08-04-2007, 06:33 PM

^^ You are right. It cant zoom at 2 MP

Nokia 3220 @ 4.8 K

casanova · 08-04-2007, 06:47 PM

SE w810i or any other from the w series.

Quiz_Master · 09-04-2007, 06:59 PM

@goobimama

Go for w810i if youjust want a SE. But n72 is more better in my opinion.

uppalpankaj · 09-04-2007, 08:25 PM

Go for K750i. It has got a very high rating and has everything except edge. W810i is also a good phone that u can consider that has a walkman brand.

The price of k750i is 9.4k and that of k550i is 11k. W810i will set u back by around 13.6k

yogi_7272 · 09-04-2007, 09:24 PM

one thing abt k550i .. its camera is not as good as k750i/ w800i/ w810i ..

i have checked it out myself ..although the specs are same ..also check gsmarena for it ..

and abt k750i .. total VFM phone .. and u can flash it to w800i ..

goobimama · 10-04-2007, 01:12 AM

Hey guys, first of all thanks for taking the trouble for these suggestions, but there's something that's come up. I'm on a budget refresh.

The phone 2kewl suggested, Nokia 3220, has class 6 of EDGE which is only capable of a speed of around 100 Kbps. I want a phone with class 10, which is capable of around 200 Kbps. I want the cheapest EDGE 10 phone. If I do not get a better suggestion, I'll buy the Nokia 3220. My budget is 7K maximum.

assasin · 10-04-2007, 08:29 AM

Nokia 5200.it has EDGE Class 10.it'll cost u bout 7.5k.

Tech.Masti · 11-04-2007, 12:32 AM

cheapest class 10 EDGE phone is Nokia 5200, Samsung X700... both costs are around 7.5k

ax3 · 11-04-2007, 12:40 PM

Sony Ericsson W810i ........ the best .........

napster007 · 11-04-2007, 01:34 PM

dude the 810i is the best. if u want music, nothing beats it.go for nokia only if u are looking for good os in phones. but i definately recommend 810i owning one myself.

Tech.Masti · 12-04-2007, 05:00 AM

^^^^ @ax3 and napster007....his budget is 7k only and you tell him to buy W810i

goobimama · 13-04-2007, 12:23 AM

Okay now for the big confession. The phone wasn't for me. Some might remember that Ayush arya was "shamed" and banned for 2 weeks cause of which he couldn't log in (who unlike the significant other, kept that ban for real). So he asked me to post this query on behalf of him.

I apologise for this deceit.

He did however buy a Nokia 6300 (http://nokia.co.in/nokia/0,,99561,00.html) and thanks all you guys for the support.

Virtua-Reps to all of you...

aryayush · 16-04-2007, 05:33 PM

Hi, guys!

I would like to sincerely thank all of you who helped me out in making my final decision. I bought the Nokia 6300 ultimately and it is a good phone. The screen is awesome (16 million colours) and Internet is very fast due to the EDGE capability. Only problem I faced is that the Nokia PC suite randomly stops recognising the phone and then I have to re-install the whole thing again and again. It also wouldn't let me synchronise my contacts with the built-in address book (assuming Windows has one by default). I was using Windows Vista Ultimate.
But it wasn't that much of a problem. On Mac OS X, it works flawlessly and I connect to the Internet via bluetooth.

All in all, I am quite happy with my purchase. I just regret it that it is not a smartphone.

Thanks also to Milind for helping me out with this thread.
