+1 for K790i
but the dissapointing fact is that Micro SD card is much cheaper than MS M2.
1Gb Micro SD is for some 250~300 bucks while 2GB for some 500~600 bucks. Even 4GB one is around 1.3k

but even 1Gb M2 will cost u a min of 600 and forget 4GB. It ll cost a bomb, more than twice than of Micro SD.
but maybe transfer rate is the reason, as ive read somewhere that Memory stick are faster than SD or MMC, but u wont need that speed for mobile application as still the UI and processing of a mobile is still lower compared to actual operational speed of a card.

Anybody who is suggesting N73, K790i, etc. is smoking weed. That too a cheap one. The thread starter clearly mentioned he needs a smartphone and moreover one with mini or micro USB port. 5700 fits this bill perfectly. In case it's not available, you should get the E51 for 11k.

ok K790I is a smartphone ? No

So why don't you all keep your mouth shut

he said he want's a smartphone not a dumb phone

oh what good your K790I is except playing music or using cam ?

5700 is a rockstar phone .........

btw Tech.Masti i will not suggest to go for it as it's production has been stopped in many places dunno why....

so you have two options left E51 ( BETTER SMARTPHONE ) , N73 ( BETTER VFM )

my bro uses both 5700 and N73........but from my experience, I will tell to go for k790i or N73(of course, u hav to flash it to ME edition as my bro did, otherwise u can't feel its real strength). And wat I realized is dat k790i can indeed do very thing dat 5700 can do, though it doesn't hav the 'smart phone' name
