Need a NO-NON SENSE music phone

[hard_rock]

Hello guys,
I searched the forum and got valuable info. from all you guys. Though you excellently compared and weighed and differentiated each phone with different features as EDGE, Wifi which I dont bother much, I'd like to ask you guys what suits me best. My requirements:

* A primary PHONE which can call ....Hey just kidding..

* A phone which is easy to use for SMSing. (I've used some of Motorola sets which I feel very uncomfortable to SMS)

* Good quality music (This is the major use)

* Decent camera(Since every mobile have them these days)

* Easy connectivity to PC and Transfer of files..

* FM (may sound funny to hear 10K phone dont have FM..Yeah..I saw one phone @ GSMarena which dint have FM even priced at 10K)

* Good Looks!!

* Must have connectivity like Bluetooth.

* Edge,Wifi and all that technical things optional or it works for me even if they too basic. Because I dont use Internet on my mobile.

* Not particular about OS

* Must be highly easy to use..In other words..NO NON SENSE!!!

* Budget upto 12K

A music phone with excellent music quality but no memory seems dumb to me. So I consider the

cost of mobile = Mobile price+ 2GB memory stick price

which is Highly essential. Even if it has atleast 2GB/1GB internal memory then I'd not buy any external memory.

I hope I made you clear about my requirements.. though this kind of threads may seem repetitive to answer but you know, everybody's requirements differ

Please enlighten me about this!!!

TIA (Thanks in Advance)

555555570000000000000000000000000................. ....................
I mean the Nokia 5700...
btw i find the keys of w610i too small..

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

yes w610i or w810i which ever u feel

the keys of w610i dont disappoint..i hv k550i and i too sms a lot and i dont hv ne problems......its very fine indeed to sms
check out and read gsm arena review properly !! even they find keypad comfortable after 2-3 days of use !

Nokia 5700 or N91 4GB

[raina_rocks]

nokia 6233 or 750i...... both fulfill all d qualities u require

[hard_rock]

Thanks guys...

Hey is there any difference in quality of sound in K750i and W810i apart from larger screen and EDGE?

regarding 6233,I have experienced it and its UI is good.

[Pathik]

yup w810i sound is better..

[hard_rock]

What is the price of both w810i and K750i and what would be the cost 2GB memory card (M2)

[Third Eye]

K750i-8.2k
W810i-12k

[infra_red_dude]

w810i - 12k
1gb mem stick pro duo (w810 doesnt use m2) - abt 1.2k or so (plz confirm this. it varies a lot.)

[hard_rock]

So w810i goes out of budget.. Coz 2GB stick ranges from 1.8K to 2K according to this thread.
Cost of M2 memory chip

12k+2K(approx)=14K..!!!!

So which is next best music phone below w810i?

Easiest Phone!!! even easier than relience 2530

[infra_red_dude]

hehe yeah.. true.. modded k750i is the best phone. but that'll void the warranty.

the next best is w700i (but no edge) for abt 9k or so.

[raina_rocks]

wat bout k550i???

[infra_red_dude]

the bundled headset is inferior to the walkman ones (hpm70), plus only 64mb memory card and no megabass in k550i. but it has edge and autofocus.

[hard_rock]

Hey, I majorly want use this phone to listen music using Ear buds/phones...
So it will be good iif phone has great earphonte/bud clarity.. As far 550i is considered, its design didnt appeal me much!!

[shashank_re]

I suggest you to go for W700i rather than K550i.It should be available for Rs.9000

[hard_rock]

I dint like the colour and design of w700i.. Its only available in metallic gold colour na.. Thats why I am insisting on alternatives..

Buy an N91 with a Creative EP-630 earphones for excellent sound quality.

[Quiz_Master]

N91...
or N70ME...

Go for N Series...
they are easier to use and looks good...

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

if n91 has not got any problems then go for it and also get EP 630 as krazysaid

or else there is SE w810i or w610i....choose your thump !!

else 5700 a phone with a twist............that is if u dont mind the twist in the phone !!

In my Experience ( Tested with HPM-70 ) there is no diff, i think K750i damn better than W810i

[v_joy]

did u say k750i???
u sure!!!
& r there any motorola phones which satisfy the following needs??
eg : moto rokr E6.
plz tell me how is it?? its +ve & -ve points.

[infra_red_dude]

k750i used to be good. but now all the k750s that SE is selling has crippled megabass. so wid the stock firmware it lags behind the walkman series with or widout hpm70. unless u flash it back it won't give u that same quality.

secondly, i don't think keypad wud be a problem. u mebbe used to one kinda keypad now. but as u use it u'll feel ok. ask aks_win, he has a k550i. that is one phone where everyone is crying about keypad! but i dun think i'd be a problem.

regarding games, i think there are quite a lot games for java. again its all subjective. if u are used to symbian games then u'll miss it in any java phone. there is nothing called compatibility issue in mobile phones. it either runs or it doesnt!!! a java phone won't run symbian apps.

[v_joy]

thanx for the info dude!!!
please tell me which games r more common java or symbian??
also my need is 60% music & 40 % camera, but this k series r dedicated to camera. so will it be rite to buy this phone.

also r there any motorola phones of same price & which can compete with SE k810i. what about moto rokr E6????
its look very gud!!!!!

what is the cost of SE w880i??
