Buying K810i tomorrow.

[Hrithan2020]

n78 will be available in august...check it out tho..not the most comfortable keys to type into..

also the c702 will be out in a month..it has gps and a scratch resistant screen and a water-proof body..

Yeah but the initial price is bound to be high right?.So it would be better to wait & buy some other mobile(like k 850) which by that time would have dropped its price further as suggested b4.

If you read the reviews, then you'll come to know that C702 is "splash-resistant" and not "water resistant" !!

Anyways, personally I find the navigation system of K850i very awkward. I can bear up with the small keys and the d-navigation key.
But, the selection button is placed far above the keypad ... Won't that be too much messy ... ???

i have been using the k850 long enough to comment on that..trust me..its brilliant..the touch buttons up there feel like u r touching the screen itself..very responsive and cool..and they vibrate when touched..cool na??

 

[iatb.gourav]

Now you are really tempting me man !!!
I wish I had enough bucks to get a k850i today itself ...

Now, the only hope lies in my AIEEE results.
Kuch achaa rank aa jaye to shayad I'll get a K850i ... Till then I'll keep my fingers crossed !

BTW, amd, can you tell me about the music of K850i in terms of both loudness and quality ??

 

[dreamcatcher]

the k850 is hell loud..and not only is it loud..unlike other phones, it has great clarity to the output sound...
the headphone quality is briliant as well..and when roped in with a pair of good quality headphones,an mp3 player is a burden..
yep..aieee results..

 

[iatb.gourav]

thanks ...

but I still have one more doubt ...

Hmm ... K850i has exceptional camera, hell loud music, even the screen is large and clear ... So, do these all don't take a toll on the battery life ???

 

[dreamcatcher]

unlike nokia..SE uses Lithium polymer batteries which are more powerful and stabel(does not blast) than its counterparts..my k850 runs 3 days on normal usage...

Does anyone has an idea that by how much will the price of N82 drop within the next 2-3 months?

I will be going for the N82 soon...Just waiting for the prices to be slashed a little bit...

 

[dreamcatcher]

will drop when the n96 releases..will be avialble for 17k max..and i think will be discontinud too..with the advent of the 6120c..

 

[uppalpankaj]

I don't really think that the N82 will be discontinued so soon. It has just been announced in Nov 2007...It is here 2 stay 4 another 2-3 years before it gets phased out.....

Its a wonderful piece and the black one looks stunning.... I saw it at the Nokia Priority showroom...

The review says that K850i has a bad camera !!

I am shocked ... Is it true ???

 

[dreamcatcher]

LOL...thats the problem with these reviews..they dunno how to hold the camera...you have to make sure that your hand is nowwhere close to the light sensor..and i am sure that this was done with a beta firmware..i like my phone..i find it better than most cam phones out there..now its upto u to decide....

 

[uppalpankaj]

wow AMD, u r great...It seems u r an expert in handling these mobiles and all those expert reviewers are just newbies...They dunno how to hold the camera..Right...Great man..

@gourav-btw have u purchased ur new mobile yet or not...R u still waiting???

@go*rav-btw have * p*r*hased *r new mobile yet or not...R * still waiting???[/q*ote]

No, I have not yet p*r*hased.

After dis**ssing over here, I fig*red o*t that I sho*ld wait for a few months (or weeks if my AIEEE res*lts are good) and then get myself a SE K850i.

 

[praka123]

sorry for the small bump .I have got the same phase as yours reading,researching over K810i vs N73 .now as N73 may be phased out soon,K810i is the only viable option.
besides,themobilestore guys quoted Rs10,000/- for K810i.

also,I have experienced with W810i for few days,it is a gem of a fone,but it lacks good camera with zoom .

Only sorrow is this is not UIQ(symbian). but core is symbian(I donno what benefit is there )

I am not in a mood to wait 3-4 months to see all those a,b,c,d ("" ) series of SE and horribly priced newer N-series fones be launched here and again wait for price drop.

One thing - this 3MP camera of K810i,got only digital zoom(16x).

All mobile phones currently available in India except for N93, N93i and Samsung G800 have digital zoom. I think I've said this a number of times before, but I'll say it again. DIGITAL ZOOM IS EVIL. Stay away from it. It only cuts out a small section of the original image and interpolates it. You can very well do that on your pc as well. Never ever capture an image using digital zoom. Always capture it without the zoom. You can always zoom on your pc later on, but once you capture it using digital zoom, you cannot ever improve the image quality that got lost. Always remember, the only real zoom is Optical Zoom. Digital zoom is not real zoom.
