Having K750i for 2 Yrs. What next ???

[solanky]

Hi Friends,
I am having K750i for around 2 yrs and I love it. Although I am not having any problem with it but I want to change it because it does not have EDGE. I am using Airtel Mobile Office so speed will increase with EDGE enabled phone. My budget is only around 8000-10000.

My requirements are -
1. It should be EDGE enabled.
2. Screen should be at least 240*320 so that I can view websites easily.
3. Symbian OS/Word/Excel will be good. (Not compulsory)
4. Sound and Camera ( Average quality is sufficient)
5. I don't change phone frequently so it should be reliable like K750i

So after searching I have found these options-
1. Nokia 6233 (Solid)
2. Nokia E62 (No Camera, Slow)
3. Samsung E840 (Word/Excel are there but no idea about Samsungs)
4. Nokia 5700 (GPRS-EDGE class 32 ,Slightly out of my budget but I can go for it if it is very good)
5. Nokia E50 (Business class but camera only 1.3)
6. Tell me if there is any other which I am missing.

UPDATE : I have added MOTO ROKR e6 also in list.

I like Sony Ericssons but in this budget display size is not 240*320.
Thanks for reading my long post and thanks in advance for your advice.

nokia 5700 and
also consider 5310 (its bit outta ur budget )

 

[Pathik]

Nokia 5700 anyday.

 

[solanky]

so far two replies and both for 5700, thanks. I have to think for this seriously. But I am afraid about the life and quality of its rotating panel, is it solid enough?
Azzu, I think 5310 does not have Symbian and the price difference is not much so 5700 is better what you say?

 

[max_demon]

i also love my k750i

what about k550i u can convert it to w610i

 

[Pathik]

5310 is a s40v5 fone. And the 5700 has a great bulid quality. go for it.

 

[azzu]

My requirements are -
3. Symbian OS/Word/Excel will be good. (Not compulsory)

i thought u said that
btw: u a SE user will love s40 UI
i Suggest u to Xpand ur Budget and go for k790i ( i forgot in my last reply )

 

[solanky]

azzu,
K790i is good but i think 5700 is having Class 32 GPRS/Edge that can improve internet speed. And it is 3G also. (for future)
pathiks,
I will sure look for 5700 it the build quality is so good.
In between i have checked that 6120c is also same like 5700 but why it is not available in India.

K790i also has class 32 but no 3G

In between i have checked that 6120c is also same like 5700 but why it is not available in India.

it isnt available coz nokia havent released it yet .will cum shortly i think

btw: iam so desperately suggesting u 5310 or any other coz 5700 is very bulky
if u want the s60 go for it

 

[vilas_patil]

Nokia 5700
OR
SE K790i
Choice is yours !

If you want to go for SE in your budget, I would suggest W810i. Eventhough it's considered to be outdated it's the most robost and Value for money mobile.

Azzu - k790i has class 10 GPRS.
Only Nokia 5700 has CLASS 32 GPRS & EDGE.

Proof

azzu,
I have compared both 5310 and 5700 at GSMARENA
*www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone2=1936&idPhone1=2087

1. 5700 captures video in QVGA mode while 5310 only in QCIF
2. No Symbian in 5310
3. 5310 is less weight
4. 5700 has flash light
5. 5700 has 3G.
6. Price difference is only around 500 Rs.

Please don't mind but I think 5700 is better. Or I am missing some plus of 5310 over 5700?

 

[azzu]

yea solanky but to tell..
1.5700 cam sucks compared to 5310
2.I think u saw the 7th ost in this thread ?
3.yea! thats wat iam sayin 5700 is way to bulky
4.i dunno this

Go for 5700 as it meets ur requirements and i dont mind after all its ur hard Earned money

The only problem u might have with 5700 is tht it is longer then most other phones. that's it...other then that it's an awsome phone.

Hey, even I have a K750i since septembar 2006, What should I upgrade to ? Nokia N82, SE W960i or iPhone

 

[sai_cool]

5700 is good.. no doubt...

i am using a 6233.. edge speeds are very good... i would recommend it anyday!

You are right my friend.Nokia 5700 is better than Nokia 5310.
Plz check My Nokia 5700 review

I have written all the pros & cons in the review.
It will help you in making your decision.

Gaurav,
I have already read your review, very nice.
So I am seeing that 5700 is favorite at this time. But I just came to know that 6120c is also having Office Applications (Word/Excel etc.). So should I wait for 6120c or is there any method for installing these application in 5700 for free.
