Which mob under 7.5k ???

[saqib_khan]

In my previous post I asked which mob to go for under 5k, but now increased my budget to 7.5k.

Therefore i started new thread.

There r 4 main things i want:
First Priority : Best Camera
Second Priority: Gud music
Third Priority: FM
Fourth Priority: Symbian.

If it will be a Symbian then it will be a added bonus. Also, if u suggest any phone then plz mention it with price.

Thanks

6233 no other choice for your preferences

[nikhilpai]

Nokia 6233 Rs. 7k
No Symbian though

[saqib_khan]

What abt SE K series?? The camera is very gud i heared.

I m thinking of SE K750i , SE k530i, SE k550i.

Does some1 know the prices of these phones?

[ankushkool]

de only simbian phone below 7 is 5700... its quite good

[Pathik]

Wtf. 5700 is 10.8k.
Get a 2nd hand n73.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

Go for K550i its best of all. Its now 6k i think

I Don't know about 6233.. Its soo FAT that i don't even want to talk about it.

and i don't know 8k phone has symbain.
but for 1st three k550 is good.

[krazzy]

In that budget you cannot find a good Symbian phone. Better get a K550i.

[saqib_khan]

SE k550i is looking good, in earlier threads they stated that this phone is a big flop, what's the problem??

Also, wat's the price of k530i & k750i??

[krates]

K550I camera suxxx everything else is perfect

it is having misleading cybershot tag

if you don't believe me check out some mobile review site

increase your budget a lil bit and buy K790I

btw. i have used K550I it's camera is no where near K790I but better than moto ming and all

[Pathik]

Haha wait for some time and get a 3G iPhone around 8k.

The 8k price ($200) is only for a 3G iPhone under 2 year AT&T contract in the US.
Without that its $400k

[saqib_khan]

I went to Subhiksha store today.
They said k750i is discontinued 3 months ago, is this true??

Now i have to decide between these 2 phones:
k530i - Rs 7440/-
K550i - Rs 7770/-

So, who's better between these 2?

[skippednote]

It Wud Be Great If You Get K530 As It Has 3g And U Can Flash It To W660.
Cheers..........................or Wait For Iphone 3g Its 8k............!

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

Actually k550 has the best camera after k750 in the 2MP category.

and dude k530 does not has auto focus .. so pictures will be terrible.

[saqib_khan]

@a_k_s_h_a_y , krates is saying "K550I camera suxxx everything else is perfect"

And u say camera is good, btw what does this autofocus feature mean? How does autofocus help in the picture quality?

[choicefreedom2000]

currently i have k550i and the camera is good and even better than many 2 mega pix cam when there is enough lights but it gives very poor result while there is not enough light.
loudness with speaker is also very low but we can flash it to w610i and get better phone with both camera and music. k530i is labeled as camera phone but is has good music than camera.
k750i is good but with k550i you can get better features.
if you like just go with 6233. it is really a good phone and having value for the money

[desiibond]

what about LG KP 320? 3.2mp phone with 90MB internal memory for 7.5k??

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

krates does not much about it. Am sure, i know that guy.

the fact is k550 camera sucks when compared to k750.
but it kicks ass every other 2 mp camera in the market.

you know why ???
Its because k750 camera has 4.8mm lens and k550 has 3.8 mm lens.
because Sony Ericsson wanted to make k550 a slim phone hence they use a camera with lesser focal length. That's why k750 has a better camera.

k550 = Slim + New Platform + Faster + Great Music + Superb Camera.

And the k550 camera is best in the 2mp sector.
None of NOKIA phones have AF in 2 MP sector. Except for the 6233 i think so.

Pictures will be out of focus with out auto focus. Its a must if you want good camera.

In auto focus camera, the camera finds the object and sets accordingly the focal length where as in fixed focus, its fixed.
Only Pictures in which the object is at a certain distance will be clear.
Where is in AF the object can be placed any where at any distance from the camera and you still get a clear picture.

With AUTO FOCUS.



Without AUTO FOCUS.

[saqib_khan]

So, in short, k550i is better compared to k530i.

But, k530i has 3g & k550i is available in white colour(according to the website)White colour is my favourite.So, again confused.

I think i have to toss a coin now for choosing between these 2 phones lol.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

hmmmm you said camera so go for k550

3G is not available in INDIA. Even if some one starts 3G be ready to pay heaps of money.
Like 3rs/min for call 1rs for SMS. Etc and WAP access will be even more costly.

[saqib_khan]

I will go for k530i, as i didn't like the small keys of k550i.
So finalising k530i.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

good choice.
k530i is an exactly clone of w660 and priced lower because of inferior software.

but you can flash the k530 to w660 easily and enjoy the Walkman 2.

[midhu]

Try Nokia E50 has the Symbian with 1.3mp and some features like office package and a lot...

[saqib_khan]

Many members told this thing, to flash this mobile after purchasing, but what is the advantage of flashing it to w660?

Will the sound quality become good by flashing?(b'cause of w series)

I will be getting this mob in 15 days approx.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

Yeah you will get MegaBass and Flash Lite support.
Also you will get Walkman 2 Music Player.
k530 has just Music Player not even Walkman 1.0 Player.
W660 is Walkman 2.0.

Then there is lots of flash themes, walkman skins, patches, sysgfx for k530.

[saqib_khan]

@Akshay
ur website is good. Do we call this process crossflashing?
Just check this 1 time, m i at right place,
http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/...-k530-to-w660/
How do i do this process, by connecting mobile to my PC with the help of data cable? Or is there any special instrument for doing this, ur tutorial does'nt includes this thing, pls clear my confusions.
Thanx.

[infra_red_dude]

You need the regular USB cable thats bundled with the phone and download the software to flash the phone and the relevant firmware files for free

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

That same tutorial for your phone if your phone is CID52.
Things get different if its CID53, Something its likely to be.

[johnjjx]
