Dude. Just increase your budget another 800 bucks and get Nokia 6233.

2" 256k color screen
2mp camera
6MP internal memory
MicroSD card slot. 128Mb card in the box
3G 384 kbps
EDGE, upto 236.8 kbps
USB, Bluetooth, IR
FM
Symbian 40 operating system
mp3/mp4 music player
1100mAh Li-po battery.

Nothing inside 10k beats this phone.

There are three colors available: Black, White, Champagne.

Get only the Champagne-brown color. Black and white come nowhere near to this color. Extremely stylish color

If you can afford then Nokia 6233. Otherwise 3500 Classic.

BTW desiibond 6233 also comes in a dark blue colour. And the white coloured model is actually 6233 Music Edition which is more expensive.

i have the nokia 6233 too.....it simply rocks

awesome stereo speakers,VGA video recordiong,3G,excellent keypad.....no other phone even comes close
 
6233 is good choice for its features and also for its sober looks
you can also go for 6300 that looks better than this one but both in features and battery life
with much less than 6000 you can get e250, slider phone that looks really nice
you can consider k750i or k550i or k530i also

It will be around Rs.6500.
As it is old,it offers best value for money now.
Stereo speakers,A2DP bluetooth profile,good 2MP camera.
No other phone offers such a bundle for a decent price.

dude. Show me a better phone inside 7k that is as good as 6233. Nothing even comes close. It doesn't matter how old it is. You are not going to get the phone manufactured in Jan, 2005.

It's current price is Rs.6,800/-

Superb battery backup. 1100mAh Lithium Polymer battery. This is the same battery that SE uses for phones like K810i.

IMHO, 6233 is better than K750i

1) 6233's D-pad and keypad are better than K750i's joystick and keypad
2) 6233 has EDGE and better signal reception
3) 6233 supports MicroSD which means buying additional memory is cheaper when compared to M2 of K750i
4) 6233 has faster UI
5) Stereo loud speaker in 6233 sounds lot better than K750i's single speaker
6) 6233 has A2DP which means you can use stereo bluetooth headphones
7) 6233 has monster battery

Hello,

Well my frnds are using that send and just my personal problem, I am not quite happy with the UI and navigation of Sony phones :(

@All

One more noobe question, the bluetooth which is at 6233, will support the next gen Bluetooth 2.0 ?? I mean i have seen with even w800i :( the transfer rate is really slow with bluetooth :cry:

hey, Tech.Masti :D how are you :)

tell me one thing, how is the bluetooth speed with this one ?? I guess you use Data Connectivity as well with GPRS :) how does it perform with 6233 as AirTel in Kolkata has a pretty good EDGE network :D

Thank you for your time for replying me :D one more request, can you please mention the source of the information :D I would b really glad :D

Just to be honest, I already own a PMP (ZUNE) so multimedia is not some thing i press in a mobile, my main needs are really good data support, good battery life for long talks :) and if possible a camera :)

even most of the time my mobile is on vibration mode :)

My colleague's dad is using this phone. We selected this phone due to it's high speed navigation, superb battery backup and a decent camera.

We did lot of testing on the phone. My friend was using this phone for past 8 months. Even now, it's very fast.

anyways, from gsmarena:

Final words…

Nokia 6233 impressed us from the very beginning. During the tests we were convinced that it is user-configurable in almost every possible way. The menu is organized logically; functions are detailed, offering high control comfort and brilliant work efficiency. When compared to other Series 40 phones, this one has taken care of a lot of their drawbacks. We can say for sure that it’s a trustworthy successor of the famous 6230 and 6230i business phones.
The phone has a very nice design, although a bit on the conservative side, we must admit. It doesn’t have the looks of a very expensive device and on the other hand it’s not expected to be one. There is always a possibility to go for the cheaper [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]Nokia [COLOR=green! important]6234[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] which has the same functionality and is the Vodafone-branded version of this mobile. While being cheaper in price, we must say that it also has cheaper looks – but that’s our personal taste of course.
Summing it up, the feature-rich package would undoubtedly turn this handset into a market hit. Just wait and see.

The champagne color looks more pricey than black/white/blue. Actual Price is same for all

6233 is good choice for its features and also for its sober looks
you can also go for 6300 that looks better than this one but both in features and battery life
with much less than 6000 you can get e250, slider phone that looks really nice

Hell no for 6300. I had to throw my phone away as I had to charge it atleast twice everyday. very bad signal reception, very bad speaker quality, pathetic camera. This model is worst mobile ever made by nokia.

thanks for the time to find those link for me, :) though the GSM arena shows v2.0 but Nokia official web site has no clear idea about it :( neither they say they dont, nor they show they do :(

But I guess thats the best I would get with my budget !!!
