[gadgetfreak]

dont go for 3230, belive me it sucks like anything

 

[krazyfrog]

Its Nokia E50.

 

[esumitkumar]

thnx guys but E50 is good than N70 ? also from indiagsm.com i saw

Symbian OS 9.1, S60 3rd edition installed ..has the phone got two OS ??

also can Sony W700i 1GB card can fit in E50 or N70 slot ?

and wat abt battery life of E50 vs N70 ?

^^ take a look to MOBILE-REVIEW.COM for phones details review

S60 v9.1 is also called as S60 3rd edition. E50 and N70 are evenly matched. E50 has better display, newer os and has a slim sleek body. N70 on the other hand has 3G with front video camera, 2mpix camera with flash and CIF resolution video recording and has lots more software written for it. You cannot use W700i memory card (MS PRO DUO) in either E50 (microSD) or N70 (DV RS-MMC). My suggestion would be to go for 5700 which is better than both these phones.

Hi krazy..I think Nokia 5700's price is a bit high 14600/-..Wat are the features it score over E50 or N70 ? I want good battery life

 

[krazyfrog]

It has a unique form factor with a rotating block with regular keypad on one side and music keys on other side. It has a 16M colour QVGA display, stereo speakers, A2DP and excellent sound quality.

Nokia N70 has Symbian V8.1,

whereas E50 has Symbian v9.1

 

[esumitkumar]

so the current downloadable applications for S60 support 9.1 ? like *.sis games etc ?

 

[krazyfrog]

No. OS v7 and v8 apps/games/themes don't run on OS v9.1. There are apps specifically designed for this version. They have .sisx extension.

 

[esumitkumar]

that means all the full and pirated stuff available on net for s60 wudnt apply to E50 ...hmmmm ........

 

[krazyfrog]

There's a whole lotta full and pirated stuff available for the new os too. You just have to search it.

 

[pannaguma]

for me cheapest would be Nokia 6630. 3230 & 6681 were launched after it, but yet are priced low coz they crappy. 1-1.5k higher price is justified by 6630 rock solid stability and fast proccy.

 

[esumitkumar]

but hasnt 6630 has got a odd shape ? like a fat woman

 

[prashanthnbhat]

n70 music edition is the best.

 

[esumitkumar]

n70 music edition ..hmm..how is its battery life ? ppl say it drains in 1 day ?

 

[Quiz_Master]

N72.
Works best for ME>

Dude, dont go for S60v2 or S60v1. Be uptodate, for your cheapest budget, you wont be able to get S60v3fp1, better go for E50 which comes for around 10K. Or go for Nokia 3250, which shall be around 12K.
