Nokia 5500 or 3110?
Hi
I have read reviews and all .. but cant decide ..I use N70 .. and always like Symbian phones..
I like 5500 .. infact love the looks .. but never seen it in hand or in person.other option is 3110 but its s40 n i dont like it ..so tell me .. is 5500 has any drawback...reviews says its very sturdy.
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/nokia-5500-en.shtml
Key Facts --
1> I have to gift a phone to my sister .. budget is not much (as usual  )
2> req is NOKIA + FM + little bit space for few songs...
3> budget u can guess around 5k or 6k or so..
i can increase it for 5500 .. whats it cost in market..
or is there any other phone coming ..
--> Your other suggestions are most welcome
Regards

Re: Nokia 5500 or 3110?
I think you should go for Nokia 3500 Classic. 5500 costs around 7k. Unless you need a smartphone, i think you should go for 3500 Classic.

Re: Nokia 5500 or 3110?
I would recommended N3500 too. One more suggestion would be Samsung E250 (slider). Except the "Nokia" brand it has everything else you need. I believe you can get it under 5k now.

^^ E250 has VGA camera which is very poor.

Re: Nokia 5500 or 3110?
+1 for samsung e250.It has a 1.3 MP camera.
Get nokia 5500.Smartphone are always better if u know how to use.
If u don't want symbian then go for Nokia 5300.

No where I see mention of camera. Considering the features and purpose he's mentioned I suggested E250. I believe except VGA cam its an excellent phone.
Nokia 3500 has all that he wants. But IMHO 3110 and 3500 look horrificly ugly!

Re: Nokia 5500 or 3110?
Yesterday one of my friend was confused with same budget and same phones as you are now.
finally he purchased Motorola L9(2Mp ) Rs 7,400( after i lend him some money  ). Its a beautiful handset, 5500 and 3110 doesn't stand a chance in looks and features.

Re: Nokia 5500 or 3110?
i bought nokia 5500 a week back for Rs. 6800 from Nokia Priority.
its an awsome phone.... with loads of features...
- s60 v3
- 2mp camera with nice video recording
- 3.5mm jack so you can use any headphones
- when you are listening to songs, just tap the phone to change the track
- torchlight
- 512mb micro sd card bundled
- stereo headset hs-29 bundled
- interesting pre-installed games
- message reader
i'm really happy i decided to buy 5500.... and i saw 3500 in the shop.... it looks awful

don't go by the pic..... have a actual look at the phone..... even i found the phone cool when i looked at the pic.... but when u take it in your hand u realize how ugly it is..... the silver outline part bulges out and makes the phone look like a bowl
