cheapest smartphone with EDGE, mini/micro port

[Tech.Masti]

hi,
my friend need cheapest smartphone for surfing net from pc, so he need EDGE and mini/micro usb port, because pop-port is not good for regular use,...... budget near around 10k....
i selected Motorola A1200 Ming, Nokia 5700, no idea if any other available in that price, any other suggestion??

if 5700 not available buy N73

 

[j1n M@tt]

Nokia fanboys can go for 5700 or N73

Thanks for your suggestion , BTW, K790 is not smartphone i think, i personally like 5700 but its not available here in WB

 

[j1n M@tt]

OMFG! Is it you. Did you smoke weed again?

BTW, yea E51 or 5700. Even the Asus P320 does good. As does the Rokr e6.

now a fanboy war war will start in this thread
by the way go for K790i or n73

 

[manusag]

go for k790i...
btw i sold my 5700 for 6.5k...its not dat great

I dont think 5700 is a very smartphone kind of cellphone...basically u wont find a true smartphone for a 10k budget...but i would anyday recommend a MOTOROKR e6 or a K790i...
rest is ur choice....

+1 for K790i
but the dissapointing fact is that Micro SD card is much cheaper than MS M2.
1Gb Micro SD is for some 250~300 bucks while 2GB for some 500~600 bucks. Even 4GB one is around 1.3k

but even 1Gb M2 will cost u a min of 600 and forget 4GB. It ll cost a bomb, more than twice than of Micro SD.
but maybe transfer rate is the reason, as ive read somewhere that Memory stick are faster than SD or MMC, but u wont need that speed for mobile application as still the UI and processing of a mobile is still lower compared to actual operational speed of a card.

Anybody who is suggesting N73, K790i, etc. is smoking weed. That too a cheap one. The thread starter clearly mentioned he needs a smartphone and moreover one with mini or micro USB port. 5700 fits this bill perfectly. In case it's not available, you should get the E51 for 11k.

I dont think 5700 is a very smartphone kind of cellphone...

Yeah you are right. It is not a smartphone kind of cellphone. It is a full fledged smartphone running ze best smartphone OS evah!!

5700 is a bit childish and Bulky and K790i has better features than it

 

[krates]

ok K790I is a smartphone ? No

So why don't you all keep your mouth shut

he said he want's a smartphone not a dumb phone

oh what good your K790I is except playing music or using cam ?

5700 is a rockstar phone .........

btw Tech.Masti i will not suggest to go for it as it's production has been stopped in many places dunno why....

so you have two options left E51 ( BETTER SMARTPHONE ) , N73 ( BETTER VFM )
