5530 will not have wifi I think it will have gps.Contrary, 5230 will have wifi no GPS.
I am too going to buy a cell phone budget 15k.
Should I go for 5530 XM guys? Or any other models worth considering/
Isn't N79 a bit older now?

 

[sujoyp]

if u consider all these phones I wanna tell u that best cam is with N79 at ur budget...it has wifi..gps..nice sound...whats the bad deal

 

[sahilshah1987]

Edited.
I really loved the bigger screen for 5800,5530 compared to N79.features wise N79 definitely looks good

if you want
good music + good screen + touchscreen + wifi =5800
good music + good camera + very good battery life + wifi + solid build quality = zn5
good music + good camera + wifi + gps + plenty of apps = n82

i think you should chose between these 3. n82 and n79 are similar except camera in n82 is better. n82 is an excellent all rounder.
Otherwise go for zn5. it is cheaper than the rest. but the sound quality, camera and battery life is awesome. also the build quality is great. very strong.

here is the feature set for 5530XM:

2.9" TFT resistive touchscreen, 16M colors
Proximity sensor for auto turn-off
Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate

3.15 MP, 2048x1536 pixels, autofocus, LED flash

I bought N82 for 14k, and very happy with it except for the battery backup.
You can get it for even less, just search for the left over pieces in the market, as Nokia has stopped this model.

5800 all the way!!!!

if you can wait then get the 5530 as you can save some bucks....

but if you use a lot of symbian apps that are not yet compatible with S60v5 and give more importance to camera than watching videos, then N79

p.s. i have the 5800

[sahilshah1987]

Take 5800 If you want larger screen,resolution and touch experience.
Take N79 if you want better camera and feature rich phone.
If you are planning to use the phone for 2-3 yrs N79 would be better.i remember on friend mentioning 5800 had fallen from his hand it started giving touch screen problems.
You decide what you want,if you want to use for fun 5800 is way to go.
N79-better camera + battery all other features same as 5800 minus touch + larger screen

guys, seriously.

Just demo samsung jet and 5800XM at same time and you will feel that 5800XM is highly inferior to samsung jet.

PS: I never felt that 5800XM is worth that price.

 

[MasterMinds]

jet is better if symbian is no concern
rest all things are best..!!! including the browser

but still 5800 does the job very well

never used jet but had my hands on 5800

 

[Tamoghno]

Once you get addicted to symbian its hard to settle with dumbphone like jet.

Anyway , i dont think 5800 is good for you since its camera is not upto the mark .

N79 is better as you need good cam. Its a great vfm device . Hard to believe this little device is so powerful.

 

[Cool G5]

I would go with the Nokia 5800 or Samsung Jet(if you can leave without Symbian).

5800 price reduced to 13.6k Now is it worth that price?

 

[rjasthebest]

thanx for d amazing replies guys.........
i cannot go without d symbian as i use so many apps nd want to use it as a pocket pc.....
nd m not a fan of samsung phones so definitely not samsung.......
nd m not a fan of touch screen either nd moreover 3.15 mp camers is a bit less for me...

so in nokia its only n79 dat fits my bill........i guess........
nd Sahil who told u 5800 is for 13.6 k now:O:O..........

thanx for d replies guys nd keep dem coming>...

 

[sahilshah1987]

Check with the latest dealer dude yes I know its hard to believe but 5800 Xm is now available @ 13.5k all over ecept Maharashtra for added vat.

@desiibond,
Rightly said about Samsung Jet! One gr8 multimedia set if phone OS is no concern.
Ok, another thing...I am planning for Omnia HD. And this is what Samsung Dealer at Noida quoted, when i visited the showroom:
"Samsung Jet and I8910HD are the latest arrivals. Both are Korean manufactured. But Indian versions of Jet and I8910 packs more powerful processor than European models.
Samsung Jet packs 835MHz processor instead of typical 800Mhz and I8910HD packs a 1GHz one."
Too awesome naa?
I practically fiddled with this gadget for more than 30 minutes. From Camera/Camcorder to Functionality, i was impressed. Its just, why Samsung decided to launch it with Symbian? A Win-Mo OS on this set would've been perfect. Not to mention the excellent 3.7" AMOLED screen. Too good for watching videos. The only thing, they didn't allow me was to check the Call quality!
I believe, this is where the set will take some blows. Can't compare with Call quality of Nokia/SE!
So, whats your take on I8910HD?

 

[sujoyp]

@ mayanksharma
Nobody beats OmniaHD right now...

BTW Omnia II didnt released in India?? its Jet+Win OS+bigger screen
