Hey fellows. I'm looking for an economical cell-phone which has :
1) Excellent keypad (for messaging ofc)
2) Good music capability (broke my mp3 player so..)
3) Camera (2MP or more NOT VGA)
4) Blue tooth(guess most phones now have this but still...)
5) Sleek and slim (so that it doesn't look revealing if you put in your pocket)

Right now I am looking Nokia 5220 XM and SE w380i. Budget btw 6 to 8k. If there's anything better please mention it.

K550i is all I can think of. Satisfies all that you want. Contrary what many say, I find its keypad quite comfortable.

Nokia 5220 is a good phone which will satisfy all ur needs. But, i think it suffers with RESTART PROBLEMS (my friend is using it for past 1 month). Nokia 6233 or SE k550i/K530i will be much better option.

Get W810i or 6233.

If you can increase your budget by 2K, then you have three more choices - N73ME(3.2MP AF camera,Symbian),Nokia 5320(2MP camera,Symbian),SE K790i(3.2MP AF camera)

Ok now its either 6233 or 5220. SE phones have an average keypad and they tend to be a bit big. So its Nokia for me. Though, I am a sony fanboy. :)

But apart from the restarting problem which I think can be rooted out by upgrading the firmware is there any other drawback? 6233 looks good but I am not sure about its music capabilities compared to XM. So what say?

The Sony Ericsson W810i was a great phone, but its production has been stopped. So, very difficult to get one. (I'm not sure when SE Fanboys wud wake up to this fact)....

Nokia 5220 is a good phone, but its Camera isn't the best you get...

The camera on every Xpress Music is nothing to write about, it's just there to add to the spec sheet. :(
