Moto Rockr vs Nokia 5320

[iMav]

Younger bro needs a phone for Music & Games, these 2 are short-listed. I'm a little towards Rockr 'coz I don't like the Xpress series, but at the same time I HATE MOTOROLA.

Budget: ~10k
Requirements: Games & Music

Other than these 2 any options?

[desiibond]

W580i is better than both

If you are thinking of Motorokr E6 for music, my answer is NO. minimal 3rd party apps, crappy music quality in real player.

If you are thinking of motorokr E8, then go ahead. Only thing is that you will need some time to get used to its keypad but audio and video quality are stunning.

[Pathik]

Get the 5320. It is the best phone in 10K.

[iMav]

^^ krazzy bhi wohi bola par I'm not really sure about it.

@Desi Mom has that one. So he won't buy that one.

[dreamcatcher]

Get the rokr E8.Unparalled by any music phone in this range. You can also look at the SE W890.

[Hitboxx]

Get anything other than the Xpress music and the Moto since you don't like one and hate the other,

[iMav]

E8 has a very tiny screen. E6 big screen & touch screen; E8 tiny screen as big as a secondary screen on flap phones.

Howz the gaming scene on these phones - W890 & 5320.

[krates]

woh man 5320 rokr E6 will suck infront of it

[Pathik]

The only drawbacks of the 5320 are the small 2" screen, 2 MP cam and no Wi-Fi. Other than that it kicks ass.

[iMav]

Hows gaming on it?

Are there no phones from SE? And what about - 5720; 5610 & 5310?

[dreamcatcher]

yea.thers a gaming phone coming up by SE.Its the F305. Will be available by October.It also has an accelerometer.So kicks a**

But, dont expect much in terms of gaming.Better get a psp and a 1100.

[desiibond]

@@ 5310 and 5610 are very buggy.

Intially, due to their aesthetics, many said wow wow but after usage, they aren't that good.

Check SE W760i. Lot better when compared to many music phones.

[Pathik]

5700 is discontinued, 5610 and 5310 are relatively crappy S40 phones. Rather get a SE than them.
The 5320 isnt actually gamer-centric but will offer the biggest collection of games, courtesy Symbian.

[MetalheadGautham]

^^yeah...

especially if he is still an irresponsible kid.

Let him keep 1100 all the time, but snatch the PSP away during examinations .

he can't do much with 1100 except make calls, send sms, use alarm (very good quality) and use flashlight (damn useful), so it can't be misused.

And PSP is the king of cheap gaming handhelds.

[iMav]

Guys it looks like 5320 is what my bro is gonna own, he likes it; krazzy & pathik have vouched for it.

One thing, the PC Suite with 6600, 3 years back was rubbish and utter useless as a software. How's the Suite now?

Current Nokia PC Suite is good. No problems at all.

Correction: PSP is the king of ALL gaming handhelds.

lol 5320 is also gaming centric the keys in it are N-GAGE optimized N-GAGE is still under progress for it but you can always install whenever you want :d

sound quality is also great but less than 5610

it got audio chip

The actual audio quality of the 5320 is very good, perhaps thanks to its dedicated audio chip. Music on the 5320 sounds more detailed than on the N95 for example, and it somehow has a lot of "oomph". There's no background hiss during moments of silence. On the old chestnut of gapless playback, there is still a brief pause between tracks, though it's perhaps a bit shorter than on previous S60 devices.

The external speaker is mono as there's only one, but it's fairly good quality and very loud. If you use the speaker on its loudest setting it will drain the battery quite quickly though.

Now if someone coming up with gsmarena review they got the beta version of 5320 and not the resale unit

[hellgate]

^^^ so u saying that music quality of 5610 is better than that of 5320?

I don't think that GSMArena had the beta unit. As far as I remember, Nokia 5320 had been launched in July and GSMArena came out with the review in the 2nd week of August. Thats why I think, they didn't have the Beta unit. Nor they've mentioned in the review that they had the Beta unit.

GSMArena says, that it sounds good but not great.

Though comparatively, it sounds a lot better than Rokr E6. Nokia 5320 is the way to go out of these two.

Though if he wants the best music phone, kindly extend the budget for about 1.2K and get Samsung i450. It also got Symbian.

[iMav]

Out of all Samsung; SE; Moto; Nokia in ~12k which is the better phone.

[krazzy]

Nokia 5320. End of discussion. Close the thread.

[MasterMinds]

yep 5320 is promising

[choicefreedom2000]

If you are preferably looking music then motorola is awesome but regarding all the features nokia is better.

Its the cheapest-latest-good-for-everything-Gamer-Centric phone one can buy right now. Supports N-Gage games with dedicated keys/layout for the games. And because of the 128 MB RAM it has, it runs the games much betetr than N95. Also, though the screen is small, the games look more crisp in it.
My friend got one today, and its absolutely lovely.

Get a 5320. You will never regret in your life. Period.

[iMav]

Hmmm .... I will be going with my bro later in the evening to buy it. Thanks for the suggestions.

[Pathik]

^ Oh Congrats. Your bro will thank you (actually me ) for life. He is welcome.

[iMav]

Bought it. Decent phone. Loudspeaker is a bit low.

[IronManForever]

^^ Latest firmware? Shouldnt be a problem with 5320.. Its loud enough for my tastes. isnt Loudness subjective?

[iMav]

Yes it is subjective, hence I said a bit low.

Anyway, can you tell me some sources for applications and games, I have installed the NGAGE client. Some recommended applications, themes and games?

The UI lags in the horse-shoe menu mode.
