Budget Office centric phone??

[saurabhpatel]

My elder sister needs a phone with good screen, connectivity, and office document capabilities. Currently I'm looking at Nokia 5230 and E63.

I would like some clarifications like:

- How difficult would it be to use the touch qwerty (if it works within the quickoffice app) for document editing?
- Also, the quickoffice's official website doesn't list 5233 in the compatibility list. Can the app not be installed on it?
- Is there any other difference b/w 5233 and 5230 other than the 3G and GPS?

The things going for E63 are tactile qwerty, wifi...
For 5230 are 3G, bigger display, audio quality...
For 5233 price and audio...

The budget is Rs. 8,000.

if office centric, then check E63.

yeh e63 is better....qwerty keyboard is much better then onscreen one for editing

bad luck...no core player for 5230(s60v5)...soo we have to stick to mp4, flv & 3gp only

what settings wud u recommend for mp4 videos for best playable quality?

 

[sujoyp]

my settings would be
Res: 640*360
Codec :mp4
video encoder :mpeg4
video bitrate : 1500
audio :mp3
bitrate :128

thanks...i used 750 kbps video bitrate and the level of pixelation was very less wud try 1500 too now that you say so...

 

[sujoyp]

1500 bit rate can be too much I know that...but I was just not satisfied with anything under 1000kbps...I tried many times
