PCWORM · 09-03-2008, 12:01 PM

yea,,W200i is near 4.5k....i wud recommend it neday,,

**hsr** · 11-03-2008, 04:14 PM

Ya w200 is good But any Nokia phones?

ray|raven · 11-03-2008, 04:17 PM

You could also try KG195 from LG.
It has Bluetooth which the W200i misses.

**hsr** · 11-03-2008, 04:20 PM

I could have gone for that but the phone is bulky and a mess to operate.The music is not a mile nearer to w200i

azzu · 11-03-2008, 05:14 PM

go for SE w200i far better than any other model in its price tag

Tech.Masti · 11-03-2008, 05:14 PM

W200i misses Bluetooth......
Better samsung e250, nokia 3110

rohan_mhtr · 12-03-2008, 01:00 AM

get samsung e250 for 4.7k with 1 gb card free and has everything you need.If you want good music then go for w200 but it dose not have bluetooth or you can get good pair of headphones for e250 .Only con for e250 is that you wont find many java applications for it.

He said "bluetooth/cable", meaning he can do without bluetooth...

and W200 is anyway better than e250 or 3110

Wrong, I greatly recommend nokia 3110 for 4.5 k . (For nokia fans).Don't just see the music quality. There r many other features which u have to look in a mobile.

choicefreedom2000 · 12-03-2008, 12:09 PM

i think e250 is the right choice. its price is around your budget and you will get 1 GB microsd card free with it
e250 is good phone overall for low budget and it looks nice with slider

Can you highlight those features, please???
Then we can start a war

krazzy · 12-03-2008, 04:10 PM

I'll recommend Nokia 3110 Classic as well. It has a 128x160 262k TFT display (W200i has crappy 65k UBC display), Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, EDGE (W200i has only GPRS and no EDGE), and a 1.3mpix camera. Plus it has other features like mp3 playback, FM radio, video recording/playback, microSD card expansion, etc. W200i is only good if you're only gonna listen to music on it. For a more all-round device, 3110 makes more sense.

Pathik · 12-03-2008, 04:20 PM

Actually I would get a 2nd hand 7710 in 4k. Just got one for a friend of mine.

infra_red_dude · 12-03-2008, 08:52 PM

I would NOT recommend 3110c. Instead I'd say either stick with W200i or pay a bit more and get 3500. The sheer no. of problems I've seen with 3110c in the recent past has always prompted me to go against it.

I also used 3110c and had no problems. And which problems do u had, just handle it carefully. I have used it for 1 year and got no problem.

And now something to yogeshm.007 . W200i has VGA camera while 3110c has 1.3 megapixel camera. W200i doesn't have bluetooth whereas 3110c has. So now did u understood who is right.

infra_red_dude · 13-03-2008, 12:35 AM

1) Restarts for no reason
2) Phone hangs with a large memory card (> 512mb)
3) Bad cam for 1.3mp cam

Not one or two but many phones haf had this over time and nokia sercv. centers are full of 3110c here.

chicha · 13-03-2008, 01:05 AM

i just had the same situation with the same budget, i was looking for SE as they have great great music capabilities. w200i is what i got, 4.5K you can bargain it upto 4.4 or 4.2K, you get a data cable and infra red with it.

No bluetooth but i can live with it, it has a hotswappable M2 memory.
i am using this phone for a little under 1 week, no problems as of now, and i have read and heard that this phone does not have any major problems and is the best bet for this range.

you get a VGA cam too which is not that bad at all, max res 1280 somthing, the video is also good for this range, the screen could have been sharper and brighter, this phone would have been the best of the best if there were a better screen and blutooth.
i can live with out a cam.
i compared this phone with some other nokia music edition phones and the sound is no were near to w200i.

THE BEST PART OF THIS PHONE IS ITS A WALKMAN PHONE.
what else do you want at this range?

MasterMinds · 15-03-2008, 12:05 PM

stick with w200i. a vga camera or a 1.3 megapixle what u gona do with these cams and the cams less than 3 megapixles is of no use!!!! what i think!!! and about screen its fine {not good} and music is above all

**hsr** · 15-03-2008, 02:32 PM

Hey i do'nt care about the camera cause i have an H9 (sony cybershot) ready for him (As This Phone Is For My Brother!). And recently, i got my google Ads Checque (don't mind the spelling, You got it!) worth 4500/- and i have increased the budget to 5K. The problem is that he keeps on saying that he needs a BLACKBERRY 8310 !.By a short investigation, i found that the vodafone dudes had brainwashed them. literally, canvased(again, Don't mind the spelling) him.And Dhoda jhagda karke humne bataya chup *** tere umr ke sath chalo! - and faught with him! (not physically, linguistically HI HI ).He agreed that he would go for a mobile that is choosen by me. But the fact is that, i quarreled with my mom and dad to raise this budget! Okay, to the point. I went to a local deales and my first sight gave a shock - Nokia N95 falling from one executive's hand and Boom TOTALED! There goes 30k in 5sec.Later, i asked him about the prices for W200i, 3110c, E250, 3500 He gave the reply as follows: 200i-box 4.5k, w/o 5k 3110c-box 6k, w/o 6.2k and the others were out of stock! not because of selling, but non-availability!
So guys, Conclude. W200i or 3110c ? Full N final Judgement.

MasterMinds · 15-03-2008, 03:22 PM

w200i

**hsr** · 15-03-2008, 05:19 PM

MasterMinds · 15-03-2008, 10:18 PM
