may be N81 (Wi-Fi 802.11b/g with UPnP)

[deepakchan]

[desiibond]

What about these:

1) HP ipaq 512. 11k
2) HTC Touch . 17k
3) HTC S710. 16k. 2.4" screen and full qwerty slide keypad.
4) imate jaq3. 17k
5) Samsung i710. 16k 2.8" touch screen
6) Sony-Ericsson P990i : 19k
7) Sony-Ericsson P1i : 20k
8) Nokia E65: 15.k (my choice)
9) Nokia N80 : 13k
10) Nokia E61i: 17K too wide to hold (E61 also is available)
11) Nokia 9300i : 17k (Nokia 9300 also available but doesn't have wifi)

[girish.g]

i was told by hotspot that n80 and n91 has been discontinued

Another vote for Nokia E65

[girish.g]

the red e65 looks a bit girlie so go for the brown version

Yeap. I am sure it's around 17k. I mean with bill and warranty (showroom price)

[Pathik]

Get the e61i rather than the e65 if u arent concerned abt looks and size.

[girish.g]

No, e61i is available

[deepakchan]

Nokia E51 is now available for 12k. Only 12mm thick and a very good upgrade for those considering the E50. http://www.srivasavimobiles.com/prod...id=Nokia%20E51

what r other specifications of this phone?

[deepakchan]

Refer http://www.clubimate.com/t-DETAILS_SP5m.aspx and http://www.gsmarena.com/i_mate_sp5m-1268.php

[desiibond]

imate sp5m is good. But a 65k screen. Yuck. That's really really bad for a 10k+ smartphone. a big NO for this.
bluetooth 1.1 instead of ver.2
USB 1.1

This is 2006 phone. not a 2008 phone

[assasin]

imate sp5m is good. But a 65k screen.

all the WM5 devices hav 65k display cuz of compatibility issues.i've used a iMate JAMA whihc had a 65k display but the display quality was pretty good.

bluetooth 1.1 instead of ver.2 USB 1.1

AFAIK most of the WM5 devices available within 14k hav Bluetooth 1.1 and this hurts pretty bad.

[deepakchan]

@assasin

I have an HTC S710. It has a 65k color screen, WM6.0 Standard Edition, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, EDGE, GPRS, two keypads and sells for 14.3k with bill and warranty. Excellent VFM

Why do we need WM5 mobile when S60 and WM6 smartphones are available for similar price.

[assasin]

^^^ as of now not all windows mobiles sports WM6.

[desiibond]

Well. Compare HTC S710 with the following phones:

1) HP Ipaq 512 (WM6 for 12k)
2) Nokia E61i (S60 for 15k)
3) E51 (S60 for 12k)
4) n80 (S60 for 14k)
5) Nokia E65 (S60 for 15k)
6) Motorokr (Linux for 12k)

These phones are much much better when it comes to all round performance and usability

My pick will be E61i. Gorgeous phone with full qwerty, fat battery and 16M screen.
if you don't want wide phone, go for E65, slider model

For basic smart phone, you can get E50. 8k. S60 OS. Rock solid performance

[deepakchan]

E51 is only 12k
