Go for nokia 5320?

[Newton.]

I'm going to buy a new phone soon. I have been eyeing the nokia 5320. Any better suggestions, i don't mind extending my budget a bit more. My requirements are-
smartphone
3.5mm headphone jack
n-gage, gaming keys
good music quality
a better screen and better camera if possible.
Also it should be hackable.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

yeah ... tis a cool fone ... i like mine ... no issues ... only prob is display is kinda smallish , the battery life is poor and the latest firmware version (v4.13 i think) isnt hackable ... but the older versions are ...

if u can extend ur budget , u can try the n81 ... its got a much bigger screen (but dunno bout battery)

K btw n81 and 5320 the only difference is screen size..! And wifi bu 5320 got 128 mb of ram and 125 mb of phone memory free when new..! So u choose..! And about hackability both n81 and 5320 are unhackable if u have latest firmware installe....but if u have 17 dev certificates then both of them are easily hackable...

5320 surely looks nice but how about 7610 supernova or 5610. Even they look decent enough.

but both the above fones are s40 whereas the 5320 is s60 (smart-fone) ..

I dont mind extending my budget. I'm also considering the N85 but i'm being put off it by its build quality.

U r considering N85 too ...its cost is double that of 5320..

Then consider N95 8gb...its the ultimate one with good sound quality..good build.....and gaming keys

I at last got the N85 second hand for 16.5k. Build is decent except the little bit me leakage of light under the face plate which suggests it will be coming off soon. No other complaints, enjoying the phone!
Thanks for all your help in my decision.
